Oliver Tree’s girlfriend slams ‘gossip’ in tribute after singer killed in helicopter crash
Singer Oliver Tree’s girlfriend has paid tribute after her boyfriend was killed in a helicopter crash — and has urged her followers to quiet down about “any other women that [he] may have been seeing.”
“right now im mourning my partner and best friend, anything else is unimportant. please have some respect,” fashion photographer Fiona Chernavskaya wrote on Instagram Wednesday.
She quickly shut down online chatter about their relationship — saying she doesn’t want to see “gossip about other women that Oliver may have been seeing,” adding “we were monogamous.”

“and please have some respect for my privacy, we kept out relationship very intimate. what i really don’t need is to see gossip about other women that Oliver may have been seeing. we were monogamous. right now i’m mourning my partner and best friend, anything else is unimportant. please have some respect,” she wrote over a photo of Tree on her Instagram story.
Chernavskaya appeared to be firing back at people who claimed that she may not have been Tree’s only girlfriend in the comments of a tribute post she made Tuesday.
“God damn how many girlfriends did he have?” one user blasted with a crying-laughing face.
“This is the 9th girl I’ve seen,” another proclaimed.
The cruel comments came three days after the 32-year-old rapper and songwriter died in a mid-air helicopter crash above Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Chernavskaya on Tuesday shared numerous photos of herself, including one of her kissing his head, addressed “to my best friend.”
“We traveled to 43 countries, and all 7 continents together. The magic, inspiration and joy you brought to my life and others, will never be forgotten or replaced,” she declared.

“You’d always tell me when we argued, if things don’t work out in this lifetime, you will find me in the next,” she wrote, addressing her late boyfriend.
Six people, including the “Alien Boy” singer, were killed in the helicopter crash Sunday, with one seen jumping from one of the helicopters before both hit the ground, according to a witness.
The helicopter Tree was on – a Bell 206B JetRanger III – crashed into a PR-DJJ aircraft 300 feet above Recreio dos Bandeirantes.
The cause of the crash, which sent one of the aircraft plummeting into a car dealership, was still under investigation Wednesday, according to TMZ.
