Olsen's Aren't So Close?

It’s been weeks since we’ve seen Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen pictured together and now we apparently know why!

Sources say: “Ashley really wants to be a respected businesswoman and be taken seriously. MK does too, but she hasn’t been willing to give up her lifestyle and act like an adult for their job.”

So Ashley has taken a drastic step: distancing her twin from the couture end of their joint fashion empire.

“Ashley came to a difficult decision. She decided that MK should not be involved with The Row. She asked her sister to step back from her current responsibilities until she has her personal life together.”

Instead, MK will focus on their more affordable line, Elizabeth and James, for which their roles were always less hands-on.

“It’s tough because The Row was so much of Mary-Kate’s idea. Mary-Kate has a unique fashion sense."

“I just see myself more as a businessperson,” Ashley says.

Whenever I hear that a so-called, unnamed, invisible, magic 'source' is giving these tabloids the inside scoop; I'm pretty much willing to bet it's 100% bullshit. The Olsen sisters have had their shares of ups and downs and they've spent much of their life building up an image where they seem to be inseperable. Unfortunately, in reality, sisters aren't joined to the hip - even identical ones. So we don't see them hanging off one anothers arms all the time... BIG deal. Don't buy into the crap. Be smart. :]
