Higgins, Tame's IWD Lunch Cold Shoulder
6 Mar
Summary
- Higgins and Tame, once friends, avoided each other at a Sydney event.
- A past disagreement over relationship advice reportedly caused the rift.
- Both activists refused to speak to media present at the function.
Brittany Higgins and Grace Tame, once celebrated together on magazine covers, showcased a clear public rift at a recent International Women's Day lunch in Sydney. The two prominent activists, who had previously collaborated on advocacy efforts, reportedly ignored each other at the event hosted by Marie Claire.
Sources indicate that the estrangement may stem from unsolicited relationship advice Tame offered Higgins several years prior. This advice, regarding Higgins's then-boyfriend, was reportedly not well-received and has contributed to their diverging paths.
Both Tame and Higgins also refused to engage with media outlets present at the event. Higgins even skipped a red carpet photo opportunity, while Tame used friends to shield herself from reporters, offering only a stern refusal when approached.
In contrast to their past closeness, the two activists maintained distance, with Tame not speaking to Higgins despite their proximity. Higgins is now focusing on rebuilding her career and raising her young family after enduring significant legal battles. Tame, meanwhile, has broadened her activist focus, recently advocating for different political causes.
The event itself, titled 'Balance the Scales', aimed to address structural inequalities affecting women. It was attended by numerous notable figures, including athletes and musicians.
