“And I think in my adulthood I’ve come across more and more people that are having this experience”.

She branded the situation as “a very raw part of my existence’ before she added: “I hope it’s not forever, but it’s for right now”.

Hilary said: “As painful as it feels to share, when I decided to make this record, I could only talk about the things that I’ve gone through.

“Like there would be no purpose to make a record after 10 years than to face, you know, what it’s been like.

“That’s my truth.

“And I really worked hard to lyrically make sure that I’m just speaking about my experience, you know?”

The sisters haven’t been seen together in public since 2019.

During her recent tour Hilary, who is currently relaunching her music career with a slew of stage shows, appeared to lift the lid on the fall out with her sister, and even blamed “jealousy”.

During her recent concert in London, Hilary introduced fans to the new song, We Don’t Talk.

In a clip of her performing the song on stage, she sung: “Don’t know when it happened / Not even sure what it was about,” alluding to their broken down relationship.

She continued: “Cause we come from the same home, same blood.

“People ask me how you’re doing / I wanna say amazing, but the truth is that I don’t know / What I always end up saying is how … ”

For the chorus, Hilary sung: “We don’t talk, we don’t talk about it / We don’t talk about anything anymore.”

It is in the second verse that Hilary alluded to sibling rivalry.

“And if it’s ’cause you’re jealous / God knows I would sell it all, then break you off the bigger half,” she sung.

A fan then took to social media to put: “WOWW… Hilary Duff just sung We don’t talk and it’s 100% about Haylie. But not mean at all. Basically telling her to reach out.”

Another agreed and put: “I think Hilary misses her sister!”

In another interview, she confirmed the spat was the source material for her track.

“Yeah, it is. It’s definitely about my sister,” Hilary admitted.

After years of silence, back in November Hilary seemingly addressed the feud between her and her sister while chatting about “family drama”.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about her musical comeback, the star said she feels “ready to fill in the blanks and share with people and connect with them on the level of now”.

She then told the outlet how she and her fans have gone through twists and turns and “have gone through a lot of the same things”.

“Whether that’s complicated relationships, anxiety, raising kids, divorces, trying to find yourself in adulthood, family drama…

“Finally I felt safe enough and comfortable in my own family to step outside and open that part of myself up again,” she explained.

Chatter previously swirled that the pair, who were once very close, weren’t getting along because of differing political views.

However, social media gossip page DeuxMoi claimed that the sisters fought over Hilary’s husband, Matthew Koma, butting heads with Haylie’s husband, Matthew Rosenberg.

Alexander brothers found guilty of years-long sex trafficking conspiracy

March 9 (UPI) — The Alexander brothers on Monday were found guilty on all counts regarding their alleged years-long sex trafficking conspiracy, which may send them to prison for life.

At the end of a five-week trial, it took jurors three days to find former real estate superstars Oren and Alon Alexander, 38, who are twins, and their 39-year-old brother, Tal, guilty on ten counts of conspiracy of rape, sex trafficking, sex abuse and sexual exploitation of women and girls.

The brothers, all of whom pleaded not guilty to the charges, were portrayed by their attorneys as obnoxious and inappropriate, but that they “are not mobsters” and that prosecutors had asked jurors to “connect dots that aren’t really there,” ABC News reported.

The allegations included using drugs, money and social influence over two decades — from 2008 to 2021 — to commit their acts of abuse, The New York Times reported.

The brothers worked together, prosecutor Madison Smyser said during the trial, to lure their victims “with promises of parties and trips, and when they got there the defendants raped them,” according to NBC News.

Tal and Oren had since the early 2000s had risen to be among the highest earning real estate agents in the country, and Alon was a security executive — and all three were well-known in the New York and Miami party scenes.

During the course of the trial, which concluded last Thursday in the Southern District of New York before it was given to the jury, 11 accusers testified that one or more of the Alexander brothers had drugged, abducted and raped them.

The brothers were said to have records of some of their acts, either on social media or other types of documents, including a video of Oren Alexander adjusting a laptop camera’s angle before showing him getting into bed with an incapacitated 17-year-old girl and raping her.

In addition to their sentencing in August, Oren and Alon face criminal charges in Florida and all three of the brothers face scores of civil lawsuits connected to allegations of drugging, sexual assault or rape.
