A rising New York socialite has been excommunicated from Manhattan’s high society after allegedly selling them fake Hermes Birkin bags and sending his friend on the wrong appointment to get one of the coveted purses.
George Mickum, a writer and former real estate agent, has locked the door behind him as New York’s high society works hard to ban him from all events, encouraging popular venues like the Polo Bar to keep him away.
Mickum has been accused of selling fake Hermes Birkins, which are often seen on the Kardashians’ arms and which average around $25,000. A guest writer’s guest has denied the allegations, calling them “absurd and false,” according to Page Six.
He was also accused of selling $100,000 worth of fake jewels to a woman, which he claimed were worth $500,000, according to Avenue Magazine.
“The door is slammed! People block him on Instagram, on social media, block his emails, block his phone numbers. No one seriously socializing or substantive talks to him,” a source told Page Six.

His former girlfriend Hannah Stella took to TikTok to reveal that Mickum allegedly sent her a fake appointment with Michael Coste, the head of VIP sales at Hermes Paris, two summers ago. However, when Stella came to the appointment, she found that there was no such appointment.
“George sent me to this appointment and that appointment did not exist,” she claimed on the popular social media app. “So I emailed Michael and he said he didn’t know who George was.”
Stella said she was “shamed” that her friend, who she ate dinner with every Monday, did so and left her “crying in the Hermes store”.
Luckily for the celebrity, the store took pity on her and made an appointment for her the next day, where she bought her “favorite” Gold Birkin 30, which retails for around $30,000.
The former friends, who are pictured together, used to go out to dinner every Monday
Mickum used his mother’s connections to break into New York high society. His mother, Sally A. Painter, is a former Clinton aide
In another video, in which she confronts her haters about whining about being cheated out of luxury items, she said, “If you have a very authentic friendship with another person and then find out that person is using it and stole from you – he didn’t steal from me but allegedly from other people – that’s very hurtful.’
The crook got into Manhattan’s high society through his mother, Sally A. Painter’s connections, according to Page Six, but now those connections are blocking him.
“Word’s out,” the source told Page Six. ‘You can’t sell the guy a ticket [to any charity event] and no one shall bring him. A wall is erected in society to prevent him from entering.
Stella said her “charismatic” friend “uses people and [is] so calculating”, which is compared to the fake German heiress Anna Sorokin
“Society is asking everyone to give their name [plus ones]so he can’t slip in,’ he said. “Everyone knows and talks about it. Nobody wants to see him anywhere.’
Stella said her “charismatic” friend “uses people and [is] so calculating”, which is compared to the fake German heiress Anna Sorokin.
“Disgusting,” she said to Page Six.
None of Mickum’s victims have sued him for selling them fake luxury items.
Mickum’s mother has ties to the Clintons, having worked as a senior advisor to the President in the 1990s. Through his mother’s connections, the wannabe socialite has attended numerous parties from Art Basel to Aspen, telling people he’s friends with princes and princesses and the Kardashians.
He is also said to have said that he lives off champagne and caviar.
