Model Lisa Moorish Launches Scathing Attack on Lady Victoria Hervey
Lady Victoria Hervey, the aristocrat and socialite, has been branded "disgusting" by fellow former It girl Lisa Moorish following controversial comments about the Jeffrey Epstein case. The backlash erupted after Hervey suggested in an LBC interview that individuals not named in the recently-released Epstein files were "losers" and expressed doubts about Epstein's death.
Hervey's Controversial Epstein Statements
During her interview with LBC journalist Tom Swarbick, Lady Victoria Hervey, who is mentioned over twenty times in the Epstein files, made incendiary remarks. She argued that because Epstein "knew everybody that was powerful," it was an "insult" to those who were "on the scene" but omitted from the documents, implying they were insignificant. Hervey also questioned the authenticity of a Newsnight photograph showing the former Duke of York with Virginia Giuffre and stated she "doesn't think Jeffrey Epstein is dead," speculating he might be in Israel.
In a later social media post, Hervey attempted to clarify her position, asserting that "smart people" understood her meaning and that Epstein had deliberately courted the rich and famous. She maintained that humour was necessary amid widespread misinterpretation.
Lisa Moorish's Furious Response
Lisa Moorish, a singer-songwriter known for her connections to Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher and Libertines singer Pete Doherty, responded with a blistering critique on Instagram. Moorish recalled their shared experiences on the London clubbing scene in the 1990s, describing Hervey as "a boring d**k" and "naff as f**k." She accused Hervey of hypocrisy, claiming Hervey had once tried to befriend her.
Moorish also dismissed Hervey's reasoning for the Epstein comments, suggesting financial motives might be at play. "Someone said you're doing all this because you're skint and haven't got a rich boyfriend to pay for your trips to Ibiza. You are DISGUSTING," she posted, highlighting the personal nature of the feud.
Background and Connections
Both women have notable backgrounds in celebrity circles. Lady Victoria Hervey briefly dated Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, then Prince Andrew, in the late 1990s and is frequently referenced in the Epstein files. Lisa Moorish, part of the nineties' It crowd alongside figures like Noel Gallagher and Kate Moss, shares a daughter with Liam Gallagher and a son with Pete Doherty, adding to her public profile.
The clash underscores ongoing tensions and debates surrounding the Epstein case, with Hervey's comments sparking outrage for their perceived insensitivity and Moorish's response reflecting broader disapproval within their social milieu.
