Venezuela Fury's bridesmaid hits back at criticism after selling dress days after wedding
Venezuela Fury's bridesmaid insists it's 'just not that serious' after receiving backlash for selling her dress just days after the wedding.
As I'm sure you've heard, Tyson Fury's daughter Venezuela, 16, got married to Noah Price, 19, over the weekend, reportedly in a £40,000 dress paired with some Crocs.
Libby Peat was one of her 18 bridesmaids, who made the decision to sell her 'blue corset and skirt' from Mode Mwah on Vinted.
Admitting that she was 'super broke rn' and 'could use the money', she put it up on sale for £500 plus £25.70 buyer protection.

"Bespoke handmade and hand-beaded bridesmaid dress worn once the train doesn't come with just tight-fitted skirt and corset size 8 lace-up back," the description read.
Libby said: "Who wants to buy my bridesmaid dress super broke rn [right now] could use the money."
She added in the caption: "I'm being dead srs [serious] taking offers need the cash to buy outfits for Ascot #furywedding #venezuela #venezualafury #bridesmaid [sic]."
Libby responds to backlash
Her post about the dress went viral on TikTok and some people didn't react well to the video.
"Sure your mate would be thrilled !?!" one viewer sarcastically asked.
While others found it hard to believe that she was 'actually broke'.
Following online criticism, Libby has told people to stop taking selling a dress so seriously.
"Guys, unfortunately, it's just not that serious," she said in her latest video.
"Sorry. It's never that serious over a dress, a dress that I've already wore. Can't exactly wear it again.
"I can't exactly wrap it up in a plastic bag and put it in my 10 foot long, five foot wide caravan for the next forty years. Doesn't seem like a feasible plan.
"So it was either sell it or put it in the bin. It's just not that deep. So if yous want to buy it, please do.
"I've got places to beat people to see, champagne to buy, and horses to bet on.
"But it's never that serious. It's never that deep. Sorry to burst your bubble and all, but the comments left on that video was a bit diabolical.
"They're getting a bit out of hand now. So yeah."
How was Venezuela Fury able to get legally married at 16?
Following the teenager saying 'I Do' to husband Noah Price, many have been wondering how exactly she was able to legally become a wife.
In 2023, it became illegal in England and Wales for anyone under the age of 18 to get married. The minimum age was raised from 16 to 18 in a bid to protect vulnerable children across the UK, the UK government states.
The Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Act 2022 means that 16 and 17-year-olds are strictly not allowed to marry or enter a civil partnership, even if they have parental consent. It is illegal and a criminal offence to exploit vulnerable children by arranging for them to marry, under any circumstances, whether or not force is used.
Taking all of this into consideration, fans have been scratching their heads over how Venezuela was able to legally tie the knot to husband Noah.
Well, it was all because of their wedding location - the Isle of Man.
Fans of the family will know that Tyson moved his wife Paris and their seven children from Morecambe, Lancashire, to the Isle of Man in November 2025 because of the number of 'disturbed' visitors who would arrive at his house at all hours of the day and night.
"I looked at moving abroad, far away, but it turned out that the Isle of Man is the perfect place for me – English speaking, English pound notes," Tyson said, per ITV News. "I can go and get an English newspaper from the local petrol station with my coffee and speak my own lingo."
And it turns out that the big move worked very well in Venezuela's favour, as the legal minimum age of marriage in the Isle of Man is 16, rather than 18.
Parental consent is needed for anyone aged 16 or 17 wanting to tie the knot, which wasn't an issue at all for Venezuela and Noah.
Mum Paris has been outspoken in defending her daughter's decision to marry so young, with her previously saying on This Morning: "Venezuela is so mature for her years. She's done so much in such a short time just because of who she is and the fact that she's got six younger brothers and sisters that she's helped bring up, I can't deny it...”
Pointing out how she was 17 when she married Tyson, Paris added: "She's obviously following in my footsteps, so how can I judge her in any way. I know she's young. But I think she's found the person she loves and if she's happy, I will completely support her."
