Meet Victoria's Secret model Karolína Kurková's husband Archie Drury: the couple is suing Miami's exclusive members-only Fisher Island Club for wrongful expulsion
Victoria's Secret model Karolína Kurková and her husband Archie Drury are suing the Fisher Island Club – an exclusive members-only establishment based in Miami, Florida – alleging that they have been wrongfully expelled. Private Fisher Island, which is only accessible by helicopter or boat, has been home to the likes of Oprah Winfrey , Mel Brooks, Julia Roberts and Andre Agassi. A complaint filed by the couple on February 20 alleges that the club's board of directors sought to deprive them of their property interest and hinder Drury's business as a real estate broker, per Newsweek.

The final straw came in November 2024 when the club accused the Czech model and her husband, who own six properties on the island, of trying to 'defraud' the club by designating membership to a tenant. However, according to the couple's lawsuit, the club allows residents who own two or more units on the island to do so. The couple was expelled in January. Their membership costs US$250,000 each, plus an annual fee of about US$40,000. Here's everything to know about the model's troublemaking husband Archie Drury. Archie Drury is an entrepreneur and an ex-Marine Archie Drury, Karolína Kurková and their son Tobin in June 2024.
