Shortly after word got out that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would be producing a men's line for their upscale label The Row, slated for fall, the rumor mill started churning that there was tension between the twins. Per The Cut: "Suspiciously, the project is said to have been conceptualized by Ashley. Alone...If we are to believe In Touch...Ashley wants Mary-Kate off the Row. A source told In Touch that Ashley wants to be 'a respected businesswoman' and 'taken seriously,' which is impossible when working with a sister who refuses to give up her lifestyle, get her personal life together, and act like an adult." Or perhaps they don't have to do absolutely everything together. Or maybe they're sick of posing together like they're still in the womb. Whatever it is, we're sure we'll hear more about it. [The Cut]
