Venezuela Fury has fired back at online trolls for criticising her English language skills, revealing that she ‘nearly got accepted into a grammar school’.
The 16-year-old, who recently married amateur boxer Noah Price, 19, with the permission of her parents, Tyson and Paris Fury, left education when she was 11 in keeping with traveller community traditions.
She’s since amassed an impressive social media following, where she doesn’t hold back in putting people in their place.
In her latest TikTok, the influencer filmed herself sitting in the car with husband Noah beside her, eating McDonald’s.
‘Just seen a video of someone saying, “Venezuela Fury left school when she was 11. How do you expect her to spell?”,’ she began on the platform, where she boasts 1.3million followers.
‘I’ll have you know, I nearly got accepted into a grammar school.’
Off-camera, Noah then asked her what a grammar school is and ‘what does grammar mean?’, to which she replied: ‘Like, good spelling.’
Grammar schools teach students aged 11 to 18 and are more academically selective with their entrants, requiring prospective pupils to sit a test called the 11+ at the end of primary school. Those with the highest scores on the exam will be eligible for a place in Year 7.
Venezuela went on to say that she ‘had tutoring as well’ and ‘did all [her] tests and things’, telling the trolls: ‘I don’t know where you get your information from, but if you’re gonna talk about someone, at least know what you’re talking about.’
‘She can’t spell for s**t, guys,’ Noah remarked, to which Venezuela shrugged: ‘I can’t spell! I forgot it.’
‘I got awarded prize of the year in school in Year 6 for good spelling,’ she then said.
‘She also got awarded for eating the most food in one year,’ Noah chimed in, to which Venezuela laughed: ‘You’re lying.’
The video quickly clocked up over 120k likes and hundreds of comments, with fellow users having plenty to say, many of whom wanted to educate Venezuela by writing: ‘Grammar school does not mean good grammar x’
‘“Nearly got accepted” means you didn’t?’, commented @nlrj03.
However, plenty of fans wanted to defend her, with @beckyhomeeducation commenting: ‘Venezuela, i went to Grammar school… doesn’t mean anything really 🤣🙈’
‘I went to university and can’t spell 😂 don’t worry!’, said @payoffvibes.
‘Who cares if you can’t spell xx being an amazing human being is more important than anything! Xx’, praised @jen265303.
Venezuela followed in her parents’ footsteps in terms of schooling, as both Tyson and Paris left at age 11 without any qualifications and were brought up with a traditional Gypsy lifestyle.
Defending taking her eldest daughter out of education prematurely, mum Paris, who was 15 when she met 17-year-old Tyson, said in 2022: ‘We finish school at primary age, which is the traditional traveller way.’
She added to The Sun: ‘We’ve just brought the tradition into the 21st century. Venezuela wanted to leave school, and all her [traveller] friends were leaving.’
Paris went on to say that her daughter had a home tutor and was taking piano lessons.
‘We move so much. It wouldn’t work if they were in school full-time to then be off to America.’
Following her lavish wedding to Noah on the Isle of Man, which was attended by Molly-Mae Hague and her three-year-old daughter, Bambi, as a bridesmaid, Venezuela jetted off on a fancy Marbella honeymoon.
The newlyweds’ getaway reportedly cost £30,000 and was a gift from her mum and dad. They stayed at a £166-per-night resort.
Upon her return, while her parents and siblings were flying business class to Thailand, Venezuela got settled into her new abode.
Having decided to leave the £8million Fury mansion, she and Noah were gifted a chalet-style property as a wedding present, with sources saying it was Tyson’s way of being ‘sentimental’.
Venezuela, whose siblings are Prince Tyson II, nine, Valencia, eight, Adonis, seven, four-year-old Athena, and two-year-old Prince Rico, has already been proudly showing off her new ‘static home’ online, splurging £1k on bedding.
As for Noah, it’s said he’s gone back to his job at the scrapyard – although he’s very much enjoying his newfound fame and riches.
A source told The Sun that ‘his ego is through the roof, and he clearly sees himself as famous now’.
The insider added that he ‘comes from a family of scrap metal dealers’, which is ‘all he’s ever known’.
‘It was straight back to work for Noah after his honeymoon, and he was spotted selling an old battery at a scrap yard this week.’
