They also are no longer on speaking terms. Insiders say the fallout was caused by jealousy, because one of them has her products selling like hot cake while the other was always in her shadow.
Both ladies are in the beauty business and had supported each other since their friendship began inside the Real Housewives circle but what they built could not stand.
Sources who witnessed the tension say the lighter-skinned one never liked hearing anything good about the other's business. She allegedly sent long warning messages to anyone who praised her friend, even while pretending to still be close and monitoring her every move.
Insiders also reveal that when the more popular one released a lipstick collection, the jealous friend was the first to post an advert praising her. Everyone thought the friendship was genuine but it was not skin-deep.
The cracks became obvious when one celebrated her birthday and received a long, emotional tribute from the one who was selling her brand like hot cake... but when it was the other's turn, the gesture was not reciprocated.
This is truly what Chinua Achebe meant by "things fall apart and the centre cannot hold."
In this case, it wasn't anarchy, just cheap, petty jealousy.
Sources are relieved the friendship has ended, and described it as one-sided and better broken than allowed to grow into something toxic.
They insist the lighter, curvier, more beautiful one is the one battling the jealousy virus, while the other is what they call a "friendship mugu," always seeking validation and approval in friendships that should not be encouraged.
