Kelsey Parker Denies Feud with Max George
Kelsey, 34, has addressed the claims, denying any feud on her part. She explains, “There’s no feud on my part. I’m a busy woman. I’ve got two kids. I’m growing a baby. I’ve not got the time for falling out with people and having feuds. It really ain’t a bit of me.”
Despite early support at Tom’s funeral, Max George’s relationship with Kelsey has reportedly cooled over time. Max delivered an emotional eulogy at Tom’s 2023 funeral but has since faced his own health issues.
