The friends standing by billionaire Richard White’s ex-lover Linda Rogan

Billionaire Richard White’s ex-lover Linda Rogan has learnt first-hand how disposable friendships can be. But she has a group of friends standing by her.

Billionaire Richard White’s ex-lover Linda Rogan has recently learnt first-hand how disposable friendships can be.

Rogan has dominated headlines in recent weeks after her high profile alleged affair with tech-billionaire White was made public in court proceedings following news he was trying to bankrupt her.

She took the WiseTech Global founder to court in an attempt to have the bankruptcy proceedings thrown out, alleging in court documents it was an “abuse of process” and that he had wanted sex in exchange for money for her businesses.

The court heard White had bought a Vaucluse mansion for Rogan, before a spat broke out over $90,000 worth of luxury furniture.

Rogan alleged she was evicted by White after his wife, Zena Nasser, learnt of their relationship.

Despite being in the midst of a media storm, Rogan attended a glamorous seaside event at the iconic Bondi Icebergs to launch the Hunting Hue swimwear collection this week, her first public appearance since the court case came to light.

And while a few Eastern Suburbs women have seemingly ditched the Sydney wellness entrepreneur, Rogan has used the ordeal to figure out who her “ride or die” friends are.

Rogan’s rat pack are make-up artist Alex Polverino, fashion designer Tali Jatali, botox guru Sanja Maria, personal trainer Edwina Mumby, lawyer Jaclyn Lloyd, Laser Clinics Australia Bondi owner Rochelle Collis and Katerina Koriozos.

“Linda has leaned on these women immensely in recent months,” one insider said.

“She was getting legal advice from Jaclyn Lloyd and apparently one of her wealthy friends even loaned her money while she was trying to fight this battle.”

The women who have seemingly distanced themselves from Rogan include cosmetic king Alistair Champion’s ex-wife Kate Champion, who despite being a long-time friend of Rogan’s, attended White and Nasser’s wedding and baby shower last month.

It’s believed the pair, once close pals who spent time in Paris together, haven’t spoken for months.

And Amanda Lennon also seems to have sided with Nasser over Rogan.

Rogan realising who her friends are comes at the same time Sydney agents are reportedly clamouring to sign the mother-of-three on as talent.

We hear she has a number of meetings lined up in coming weeks with managers who think she can make a quick buck off her 15 minutes of fame.

“There’s been so much press about Linda, she can definitely make a quick buck,” one expert said.

Rogan, whose Instagram profile is private, has been sharing snippets of her life in recent weeks, as well as a number of inspirational quotes including the below, which she uploaded yesterday.

“Every season has an expiration date on both sides,” it read.

“With grief it will come to a close and you will be okay on the other side...but also your good times will have an expiration date, so learn to be really grateful for those good times.

“Let go of control and let god and the universe do its job and accept the things that happen to you and learn to love the good, the bad and the ugly.”
