Jodie Marsh launched at extraordinary rant at Paul Weller after she tried to flog his memorabilia in an online auction to raise funds for Fripps Farm.
After the former glamour model, 47, told her followers a Paul Weller gold disc, signed posters and concert tickets were up for auction, his official X page uploaded a post to say they aren’t endorsed by him.
The tweet from Paul’s profile on X, said: ‘Paul wants it known that a recent auction that has gone live for competition prizes and memorabilia is not official and not endorsed by him’.
Jodie, who gives a home to 400 rescued animals at the Essex sanctuary, took to Instagram to hit out at the musician, 67, and accuse him of ‘disassociating himself because I’m friends with Nigel Farage’.
In the now deleted post, she said: ‘Hi guys, just a quick one. Paul Weller has got the hump because I’m friends with Nigel Farage so he’s disassociated himself from the auction.
‘That’s fine. It’s a shame we can’t just all get along and have our own opinions and our own friends and just respect each other’s choices. I think that’s very sad. But I can assure you the auction is real.

‘He doesn’t want to publicly support something, that’s absolutely fine. It’s just very disappointing from somebody you’ve done nothing but promote, support and adore for years.
‘I think some people care too much about their image rather than what’s real in life and what matters.
‘I think it’s a real shame because Paul has done a lot of work supporting Gaza but doesn’t want to publicly support something much closer to home. It’s a real shame.’
Paul is actively involved in supporting Gaza through fundraising concerts, such as the 2025 ‘Gig for Gaza’ to raise money for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and Gaza Forever.
Jodie went on to claim the memorabilia was official, owned by Paul’s later father John who was the singer’s manager and put up for auction with the support of Nicky Weller.
The television personality said Fripps Farm really needed donations to help support the animals.
Daily Mail has contacted Paul’s representatives for a comment.
It wasn’t until the tragic death of her mother Kristina in September 2020 from cancer that Jodie felt the push she needed to open Fripps Farm.
Jodie previously told Daily Mail: ‘When my mum got sick, her decline was fairly quick. It was during Covid so me and my dad had to care for her at home because the hospitals had kicked all the cancer patients out.

While Jodie is kept busy planning the finances of her rescue centre she revealed she’s proud to dispel the typical stereotype of being a ‘bimbo’ glamour model
Jodie launched an OnlyFans account and has earned thousands selling X-rated photographs of herself
Jodie ended up becoming one of Britain’s most well-known glamour models and has since moved on to running her own farm
‘It was just horrific. I gave up work and gave up everything to care for my mum. And that was what made me realise that life’s too short, watching my mum die in front of me.
‘Why would I go and do another TV show or another photoshoot or whatever it is when that’s not what I want to be doing in life? That’s not what’s gonna make me happy.
‘What’s gonna make me happy is having an animal sanctuary, because it’s the only thing I’ve ever truly wanted. I always knew that was the end goal.’
It wasn’t a hard decision for Jodie to step away from the limelight.
By her own admission, ‘I hated being famous. If I had money no one would ever see me again!’
