Made in Chelsea Star Loses Estate Battle

0:00On March 9th, a maid and Chelsea star named Lonan O'Harelye has lost his high court fight against his stepfather's widow over a share of a 38. Million five hundred thousand pound estate. The 36 year old personal trainer, Sue Jennifer Taylor, after getting nothing from Hugh Taylor's fortune when he died in June 2019. O'Harelye wanted five million pounds, arguing under inheritance laws that Hugh had been like a father to him. Earlier this week, the judge dismissed the case outright, saying it had no real chance of winning and was filed more than four years past the deadline. O'Harelye pointed to years of support from Hugh between 1995 and 2004, including private school fees, university costs, a five thousand pound watch, a Florida trip for him and ten friends, and a 45 thousand pound outie for his 21st birthday. He also got funding for overseas trips to build a property career. Meanwhile, O'Harelye's team described his tough spot now, claiming the legal battle left him homeless and heavy debt and couch surfing with friends.

1:06Despite his social media looking glamorous, he blamed the widow for straining his bond with Hugh and said the cutoff caused deep personal pain. Jennifer Taylor's lawyers called the claim opportunistic, highlighting a wish list of luxuries like a three million pound house, classic car, and expensive watch. In the end, the judge ruled Hugh owed O'Harelye no duties by the time of his death and that the reality star could support himself as a trainer. The relationship had ended around 2012 anyway, with no recent aid. This wraps up a saga that started with big expectations, but hit a firm legal wall.
