Family Tensions Over £10,000 Loan Dispute
Major Financial Conflict with Paloma - September 2017:
Bente claimed Paloma owed DI significant money:
"As Paloma owes you close to ten thousand why don't you ask her to repay you? She state that she's 'a very successful business woman'. It's ridiculous when you are in this situation."
Paloma's Counter-Response:
"please clarify to Bente that you have not loaned me £10,000. I don't understand where that figure comes from."
This created a significant family rift with ongoing tensions.

Paloma's Hostility Toward Bente:

Bente reported receiving "ghastly emails" from Paloma including threats:
"I have never experienced anything like it! I forwarded them on to a friend; she was shocked, to put it mildly."
