Olivia Attwood's rumoured feud with Longford's Maura Higgins goes stateside!

As Ballymahon beauty, Maura Higgins, makes waves in the US, her rumoured rival, Olivia Attwood, is hot on her heels. 

Recent times have seen Maura frequently travelling back and forth to the states where she has been in attendance at several high profile events, enjoyed meetings with industry powerhouses such as the Charlotte Tilbury brand, and embarked on a number of exciting projects and TV appearances, including co-hosting Love Island USA.

Her latest reality TV show - US Traitors - is also set to air in the US on January 8 2026 and is expected to help the Longford lady make an even stronger impact across the water.

Her fellow Love Island alumni, Olivia Attwood, also set headlines alight when she too announced she was working in the US.

Just yesterday, November 20, Olivia debuted her new video podcast 'Olivia's House' which is recorded in the surrounds of a stunning New York residence.

News of Oliva's venture however appears to have now breathed new life into the British tabloid stories of an ongoing feud with Maura which is believed to have really kicked off after Olivia took to her Instagram last year to subtly, but publicly, accuse Maura of trying to copy her career.

While Olivia didn't address Maura by name, the British press at the time went into overdrive about a 'copycat rivalry', pointing out the number of striking similarities between their career paths to date and their recent moves to the same PR agency on two occasions.   

Last month, the drama again took another twist when both turned up at the Glamour 'Women of the Year' Awards in New York wearing similar risque black mesh-panelled dresses. 

Now, with both stars working in the US, rivalry rumours have again resurfaced in the national media. 

Loyal fans launched to Maura's defence however with comments underneath a recent article stating, "Maura is and will always be the winner in this competition", "Maura is stunning and a lovely down to earth person", and, "Is a feud a feud when there is only 1 participant? Olivia always seems to have these weird one-sided beefs that she drags out for years (Chris Hughes, Laura Anderson) Maura usually tends to play it right in that regard at least...ignore them and move on."
