They’ve been subject to a series of thinly veiled barbs seemingly aimed at each other since the same-sex marriage survey results were released on Wednesday.
And now fans of The Veronicas will be wondering if they will ever see sisters Jessica and Lisa Origliasso perform together again, after the latter was forced to defend her views on marriage equality.
On Friday, the 32-year-old reacted to comments from Jessica, which appeared to suggest she ‘degraded’ her sister’s sexuality.
Is it all over? The Veronicas sisters engage in a war of words on social media after Lisa Origliasso was forced to defend her views on same-sex marriage
‘This past week I have been accused of making intolerant statements and holding intolerant views,’ Lisa said, according to News.com.au.
‘I did not make those statements and I do not hold those views. Sexuality has never played a factor in my acceptance of people or their relationships.
‘I have and always will continue to show my unwavering support for the LGBTI community with pride and continue to celebrate love, acceptance and tolerance within our country and community,’ she added, before thanking her friends and fans for their support.
Earlier in the day, sister Jessica – who is the girlfriend of Ruby Rose – took to Twitter to release an emotional statement, saying she has ‘struggled’ with the views of people close to her.

‘I may not have struggled with an inner turmoil, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t struggled with people close to me’: Jessica – who is the girlfriend of Ruby Rose (pictured) – wrote on Twitter earlier in the day
‘I may not have struggled with an inner turmoil, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t struggled with people close to me, degrading my sexuality because of their own personal judgments or ignorance,’ she wrote.
‘People can publicly support the LGBT community, but behind closed doors inflict deep pain because of their own inability to accept or understand you as a part of that community.’
On Wednesday, Ruby slammed her girlfriend’s twin sister online, suggesting her joyous reaction to Australia’s same-sex marriage vote outcome was contradictory.

In a Tweet, she claimed Lisa had commented that the pair should ‘feel lucky they don’t get stoned to death like they do in other countries’, before deleting the post.
‘So glad to see Lisa Origliasso screaming in excitement about the yes vote after telling us she thinks we should feel ‘lucky’ we don’t get stoned to death like they do in other countries and to get over it a few months ago,’ the Orange Is The New Black star wrote in her shocking tweet.
‘Really warms my heart,’ the 31-year-old added, including the rolling eyes emoji.

Lisa had immediately celebrated the vote on her social media accounts, which saw more than 60 per cent of Australians pledge their support for marriage equality.
A number of Ruby’s 1.33 million Twitter followers blasted her for her rather bold response during such a positive moment.
‘It’s an emotional day. I’m a human being and need to remind myself not to let the people below try to drag me down,’ Ruby wrote after deleting her original tweet.
One Twitter user replied: ‘They’re only below you because you dragged them down, great choice on a day we should we celebrating togetherness and equality.’

Another wrote: ‘Lisa should not be called out publicly like that! They have fallen out, yes, the fans know that very well, but is it fair to post it in public, no!’
‘Let me help u [sic] with something… the next time use @Lisa_Veronica … and please don’t delete the tweet. Shameful!’ Another fan wrote.
Tension between the ladies appeared to simmer in April this year when Ruby unfollowed Lisa on Twitter, with Jessica doing the same in September.
It appears Lisa does not follow her sister nor Ruby on social media, and hasn’t posted a candid photo with her twin in many months.
Daily Mail Australia reached out to Ruby, Lisa and Jess for comment at the time of the Twitter feud.
