Aurora Agapov has accused her roommate and fellow freshman Kaitlyn Fung of stealing her designer goods and selling them on The Real Real.

At any given moment, so much drama is happening at NYU. One Tisch student is choosing not to cast her best friend in her short film, a Gallatin sophomore just dumped her boyfriend for no t having a cool major, and someone is making up a.

But in what is probably the biggest fight happening on the campus right now, two NYU roommates are having a major falling out because one of them appears to have stolen the other’s luxury goods and sold them on The Real Real. Did I mention the victim is distantly connected to Vladimir Putin? Here’s what happened.includes Vladimir Putin. She grew up in London and relocated to the East Village last year to start her freshman year at NYU, where she moved into the university’s Founders Hall dorms with aAgapov filed at the end of May, she realized earlier that month that some of her things were missing and found a receipt in Fung’s wallet from The Real Real that listed a handful of her own MIA belongings. When she confronted her roommate about the receipt, her lawsuit claims, Fung admitted to stealing Agapov’s jewelry and bags and listing them on The Real Real — and, at Agapov’s request, signed into her account to show her the incriminating listings, which included a $3,300 Celine tote, a $4,000 Chanel purse, and a $23,765 ruby ring. At some point, AgapovAgapov also claimed in the suit that Fung was selling her things way under market value — one Chanel bracelet worth $2,000 apparently went for $175, and a $13,000 Bvlgari necklace got her $2,485. To my knowledge, this is actually a criticism ofand not Fung’s ability to price designer jewelry, but that’s for another lawsuit. A few of the items — a Gucci bag, another Celine bag, and Christian Louboutin shoes — were, per the suit, “returned” to Fung, presumably by The Real Real customers.Agapov’s suit says she reported Fung to the police on May 2, and the freshman was arrested the same day on a third-degree grand-larceny charge before being released. Her criminal case is pending, but Agapov appears to be pursuing justice by other means. Later that week, she claims she went to The Real Real’s Soho store to tell them what had happened, and an employee there told her Fung’s mother had picked up all the listed items a few days earlier. At the end of May, Agapov filed ain New York Supreme Court seeking $51,000 in damages and demanding the Fungs return her things. On June 6, Fung’s father was served a summons for the 18-year-old to answer Agapov’s filing within 30 days.Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy NoticeJoe Alwyn Is Ready to Talk About Taylor SwiftJoe Alwyn Is Ready to Talk About Taylor SwiftBill Belichick Is How Many Years Older Than His Girlfriend?The 29-year-old trans track star was barred from her Olympic dreams.
