More heartbreak for Sophie Cachia as her ex-business partner takes a vicious swipe at reality star after they ‘cut ties and unfollowed each other on Instagram’ following a series of PR disasters

Mia Plecic has taken vicious swipe at her former friend and business partner Sophie Cachia.

The 30-year-old shared a photo to Instagram of new pyjamas she’d purchased from Kmart and seemingly throwing shade at Sophie’s eponymous pyjamas brand.

‘My PJs are from Kmart for those asking. Kmart honestly make the best pyjamas,’ Mia wrote.

‘I bought @melanie_james and I matching but she decided to jet to LA without me.’

Sophie, a former footy WAG who famously left her husband and became engaged to a woman in 2020, has found success with her pyjamas brand Cachia and multimedia company Shaw Media.

In August, it was revealed Sophia and Mia had cut business ties following a string of public relations gaffes.

The pair announced last year they were launching a ‘gender-neutral’ cosmetics brand together called Aisuru.

But Sophie recently announced that Aisuru was now ‘a one-woman show’, apparently confirming Mia had left the business.

Outspoken the Podcast, which documents the misadventures of social media stars, speculated that the pair’s friendship had also broken down.

Tellingly, Mia removed all references to Aisuru from her social media bio and also unfollowed the brand on Instagram.

The former business partners have also unfollowed each other’s personal accounts.

Aisuru has been plagued by controversy since its launch earlier this year.

In February, Sophie was called out for practising poor hygiene while conducting a ‘quality control’ exercise on her new lipstick line.

She filmed herself rubbing her nose with her bare hand while checking individual lipsticks from her Aisuru range that were due to be sent out to customers.

Aisuru subsequently issued a statement acknowledging this was ‘not best practice nor aligned with our policies’.

In June, Mia sparked outrage by comparing Australia’s vaccine mandates to the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The court’s ruling ends the constitutional right to abortion across America, meaning individual states can now decide whether abortion should be legal.

Reacting to the landmark decision, Mia wrote on Instagram: ‘Why is it okay to be pro-choice about one human right but not the other?’

Many people who oppose Covid vaccine mandates call themselves ‘pro-choice’, borrowing the popular slogan used for decades by advocates for legal abortion.

However, the use of the term in the context of vaccines is highly controversial, with women’s rights activists saying the two issues cannot be compared.

‘The same people who are against freedom of choice with mandates are the same people who are screaming freedom of choice about abortions,’ added Plecic in her post.

The entrepreneur, who made headlines last year for sharing anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine views on social media, continued: ‘It doesn’t work like that. Freedom of choice regardless of your narrative.’

Her ‘pro-choice’ post was soon picked up by Instagram watchdog account Aussie Influencer Opinions, which warned customers of Plecic’s haircare company they were supporting these views by buying her products.

Mia soon received a wave of backlash online, with major online retailer Showpo reportedly vowing to remove Slick Hair Co. products from its store.
