Palm Beach’s high society was left reeling this week after Nick Hissom — the 32-year-old stepson of casino magnate Steve Wynn — publicly announced the end of his longterm relationship with art gallery co-founder Kameron Ramirez amid scathing allegations of infidelity. In an explosive Instagram post that has gone viral, Hissom labeled Ramirez a “cheater, liar, backstabber” who had been “f–king my friend in my own house,” thrusting one of Florida’s most private enclaves into tabloid turmoil.
From Romance to Rupture
Hissom and Ramirez first became a fixture on the Palm Beach social scene when they founded their upscale art gallery together in 2018. Though never legally married, the pair shared what Page Six sources described as a “seven-year commitment” complete with matching rings and high-profile appearances — most recently at the amfAR gala on March 15, where Hissom’s mother, Andrea Wynn, and stepfather Steve Wynn received a philanthropic leadership award.
But on March 20, Hissom took to social media to declare their relationship over, alleging that Ramirez had orchestrated a “coordinated, sneaky, and vicious affair” with another man in his own home. “I’ll never understand why you came to hate and disrespect me so,” he wrote, accusing Ramirez of trashing seven years of their life and business for “a guy who knowingly was breaking us up, clearly with no morals of his own either.”
Allegations of Betrayal
According to anonymous insiders, the affair involved a 21-year-old Palm Beach socialite and was first flagged on an anonymous “Le Rosey Confessions” Instagram account, which alerted Hissom to Ramirez’s disloyalty. Hissom reposted the confession — and then deleted it — before unloading a string of public posts accusing Ramirez of mocking his pain in group chats with “scummy wanna-be friends.”
A source described the alleged betrayal as the Palm Beach equivalent of the infamous Syd Bass–Anne Bass divorce scandal of the 1980s, saying, “Steve and Andrea’s pals are all talking about how it’s like when Syd Bass left Anne Bass for Mercedes.” The source added that both Steve and Andrea Wynn are “upset” by the split.
Ramirez’s Response
In the wake of the social media barrage, Ramirez released her own brief statement: “There are many false assumptions and inaccurate statements here, hence why the social media posts have been taken down. Nick and I are now working things out privately and truths are coming to light.” Her denial left Palm Beach insiders buzzing over whether the breakup might yet be salvaged.
Impact on Palm Beach Society
Palm Beach’s elite circles are notoriously discreet, but the highly public nature of Hissom’s accusations has thrust the community’s darkest undercurrents into the spotlight. Longtime residents expressed shock that Ramirez — a 25-year-old rising art entrepreneur known for her taste-making gallery — would engage in such brazen disloyalty.
At the amfAR gala, many attendees initially shrugged off any signs of trouble between the couple, describing them as “lovely and affectionate” on the red carpet. Now, whispers swirl about fractured alliances and whether Ramirez’s alleged new beau — described only as a “younger lookalike” — is part of a broader Palm Beach power play.
Business and Personal Fallout
Beyond heartbreak, Hissom and Ramirez jointly operated a gallery that showcased contemporary art to affluent collectors. With rumors flying about the affair occurring on gallery premises, questions loom about the venture’s future viability. A gallery insider told Page Six that art sales have slowed in recent weeks, hinting at reputational damage spilling into business.
Meanwhile, Hissom’s thirst-trap Instagram posts — featuring shirtless gym selfies set to pop breakup anthems — underscored the highly performative nature of his online mourning. Social media observers noted his dramatic pivot from heartbreak to “no AI necessary” self-affirmation posts, speculating about whether the public spectacle is genuine grief or damage control.
The Wynn Family’s Reaction
Steve Wynn, a billionaire casino mogul, and wife Andrea Wynn have maintained a low profile throughout the drama. Insiders say they are “deeply disappointed” by Ramirez’s actions and “protective” of Nick. Given the Wynn family’s philanthropic prominence — culminating in Andrea’s recent honor at amfAR — the scandal threatens to tarnish a reputation built on generosity and elite stewardship.
What Comes Next?
As the dust settles on Palm Beach’s latest social scandal, eyes turn to whether Ramirez and Hissom will reconcile privately or proceed to an irrevocable split. Sources say legal separation of personal assets — including their jointly owned gallery — could become contentious, potentially leading to litigation in Florida’s notoriously public divorce courts.
Regardless of the outcome, the fallout from this breakup reverberates beyond gossip columns, shining a harsh spotlight on loyalty, power, and betrayal within America’s wealthiest enclaves. For now, Palm Beach remains a glittering facade of privilege — but cracks have been exposed, and the whispers will not fade soon.
