Kanye West and Pete Davidson: A Tense Clash Over Kim
Kim Kardashian is one of those famous people that always manages to make it into the news. Sometimes it is for a particularly wild outfit, but more recently, it has been for her very public divorce from Kanye West and her brief relationship with comedian and actor Pete Davidson. You would think that everything would be fine; after all, divorce and moving on are both common in Hollywood. But Kanye has not exactly been thrilled with his ex's latest beau. And he has had no hesitation in letting the world know.
Kanye began a social media attack, posting hostile and private information about Kim and Pete, ultimately resulting in him being banned from Instagram for a short time. And eventually, Pete decided to do something about it, too. "I'm not gonna let you treat us like this anymore, and I'm done being quiet," he said to Ye in a private message.
Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid: The Confrontation Between Zayn and Gigi's Mom That Ended It All

Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea: Brutal Online Jabs Cause Chaos
Sometimes people post thoughts that should probably be kept out of the spotlight, which is what happened between Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea. Snoop had shared some comments about people with albinism that Iggy thought were in poor taste and decided to draw attention to it publicly rather than speaking to him privately. Snoop did not take kindly to being called out and decided to attack Iggy's appearance with an unkind comparison.
Iggy is known for her blonde locks and fair complexion, which Snoop said reminded him of the Wayan brothers' characters in the film White Chicks. Ouch.
Justin Bieber and Orlando Bloom: A Literal Swing Taken Over Exes
Justin Bieber was once a teen heartthrob and America's new sweetheart. But, like many child stars, Bieber eventually made the tabloids for some less-than-positive reasons. In one instance, he was caught sending flirty texts to Orlando's then-wife and Victoria's Secret supermodel, Miranda Kerr. Justin didn't seem to care that she was married and continued messaging her. So it was bound to get awkward when the couple and the pop star all happened to be on vacation at the same place and ran into each other.
Orlando was not having any of Justin's antics, so when they happened to be in the same club, Orlando couldn't resist. He walked up to Justin and threw a punch, but their bodyguards broke it up before it could escalate to a full-blown fight.
Britney and Jamie Lynn: The "Tell-All" Book Betrayal
Britney Spear's devastating experience took the world by storm. When the social movement, Free Britney, calling for the end of her conservatorship, gained traction, it seemed it was the only thing people could talk about. No one could believe the brutal details she shared about her family's control over her life. She admitted her father had a say in everything she could wear, say, do and think for over a decade. And according to the Princess of Pop, her sister Jamie Lynn enabled it all.
Britney called out her sister, saying, "I don't like that my sister showed up at an awards show and performed MY SONGS to remixes!!!!! My so-called support system hurt me deeply." It seems this relationship is unrepairable.
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj: The Infamous Shoe-Throwing Gala Brawl
New York Fashion Week is supposed to be a time when influencers, stars, and everyone in between can come together and see the latest fashions from their favorite designers. Rappers Nicki Minaj and Cardi B were supposed to be enjoying the show in 2018 when a conversation quickly escalated into a full-on physical altercation which had security pulling the two women apart. The cause of the fight remains unclear, but someone definitely got a shoe to the face.
That's right, Cardi B took her shoe off and hit Nicki in the face, leaving a visible bruise. After the fight, Cardi was quickly asked to leave fashion week.
Will Smith and Chris Rock: The Slap Heard ’Round the World
The Oscars in 2022 will go down in history as a night full of controversy and confusion. Chris Rock came on stage to present an award and, as most people do, talked for a few minutes and told some jokes. But Will Smith didn't think his jokes were that funny. When Chris made fun of Jada Pinkett Smith's buzzcut, Will immediately got heated and started screaming at Chris. But what he did next shocked audiences around the world.
Will walked on stage and slapped Chris Rock across the face. As people watched and gasped, confusion arose about whether it was fake. Unfortunately, it was not, and Chris is still not speaking to Will.
Jennifer Aniston and Kanye West: The "Friends Wasn’t Funny, Either" Diss
Who would have thought that the 2020 United States Presidential elections would bring Jennifer Aniston and Kanye West together? When Kanye West decided to run for president, Jennifer Aniston urged people to vote responsibly and not vote for an unqualified celebrity just because it was funny. She wasn't taking Kanye seriously, which quickly upset him, resulting in him calling her out and making fun of the iconic show Friends.
Though it's rare to see Jennifer amid celebrity beef, this is no isolated incident for Kanye.
Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus: The On-Stage Award Show Ambush
Being famous means that sometimes regrettable soundbites go viral very quickly. If celebrities don't think twice before speaking, they could end up in serious trouble. During one interview, singer Miley Cyrus began discussing why Nicki Minaj was more popular and why some of Nicki's music videos had more views than hers. It would have been fine if Miley didn't also mention that her team was trying to make her the caucasian version of Minaj and followed that with some less-than-body-positive comments.
If a singer is talented enough, they will get plenty of views on their music videos. But commenting on and criticizing a person's body is just problematic. Of course, Nicki wasn't afraid to call Miley out. "Miley, what's good?" she said on-stage at an award show shortly after Cyrus's comments.
Grimes and Azealia Banks: The Bizarre Musk Mansion "Hostage" Drama
One of the ways musicians up their profile is through collaborations with big-name artists. Azealia Banks and Grimes decided it was time to work on some music together, leading to Azealia being invited to the Musk Mansion, where Grimes was living at the time. Azealia flew out to LA, expecting a fantastic music-filled weekend. Everything would have been fine and dandy if Grimes had actually shown up at her own home. However, Azealia was left just waiting around the entire time.
Azealia went on social media and called Grimes out for not respecting her time. Oddly, the main insult that came out of this was that Grimes smells like a roll of nickels.
Jameela Jamil and Cardi B: The "Sh*t Your Pants" Detox War
Jameela Jamil is one of the most real actresses out there and is not afraid to call out other famous people who she thinks are problematic. One incident occurred between her and Cardi B, which made headlines. Cardi started endorsing a tea that aids in weight loss by essentially working as a laxative. While there is nothing wrong with selling a product you can stand behind, this is not considered a healthy form of weight loss.
Jameela had no problem sharing the facts and even went so far as to say that Cardi B didn't care about her fans by selling this product to them and just wanted to make money.
Elton John and Madonna: A Decades-Long War Over Lip-Syncing
It can be hard to keep a humble attitude when you are one of the world's most famous and loved singers. These iconic artists have built an empire and impressive careers, but that's not enough to excuse mean behavior. Elton John made a few comments about Madonna, claiming she lip-syncs and doesn't deserve a few of the awards she received because she simply wasn't good enough. Madonna had a response, but it might not be what you'd expect.
Madonna had her publicist release neutral and friendly statements about Elton and even sarcastically said at one of her concerts, "I'd like to dedicate this next song to a Mr. Elton John; I know he's a big fan of it."
Kanye West and Drake: The "Secret Son" Betrayal and Address Leak
The long-standing rivalry between Kanye West and Drake reportedly reached a boiling point during a series of high-profile escalations that captivated the internet. Tensions allegedly exploded when Kanye was accused of sharing information regarding Drake's "secret son" with a rival artist, leading to a massive public fallout. The drama intensified further when Kanye reportedly posted Drake's private residential address on social media, an act that many viewed as a serious escalation.
This complex feud involves years of cryptic lyrics, dueling album release dates, and middle-of-the-night "purple emoji" group texts that kept fans and tabloids guessing.
Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow: The Battle of Lifestyle Queens
Anyone growing up seeing Martha Stewart on television knows she is the ultimate homemaker, gardener, and chef. Martha can do it all and continues to do so, which is how she has remained a powerhouse in the wellness industry. Another star who is no stranger to lifestyle and wellness branding is Goop founder and actress Gwenyth Paltrow. Martha wasn't too happy that Gwenyth had entered the lifestyle space and decided to say a pretty unkind comment.
Martha reportedly said about Gwenyth, "She's a movie star. If she were confident in her acting, she wouldn't be trying to be Martha Stewart." Those are definitely some fighting words, and Paltrow did not enjoy hearing them.
Kim Kardashian and Chloë Grace Moretz: The "No One Knows You" Diss
No celebrity is without a feud here and there, and even Kim Kardashian and Chloë Grace Moretz could not help but get into a Twitter battle at one point. Kim is known for posting bikini photos and other images showing her famous physique. Instead of complimenting Kim, Chloë decided to Tweet the following comment, "I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies."
Kim did not enjoy this comment and decided to snarkily respond with a welcome to Twitter tweet since she considered Chloë a relatively unknown social media presence at the time.
Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan: A Decades-Long War of "Pathological" Lies and Stealing Ex-Boyfriends
Maintaining a friendship is hard, and it would appear to be even more complicated if you are constantly in the spotlight the way Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton used to be in the early 2000s. While the two lead quieter lives now, they used to be seen on the cover of every tabloid. During one of these paparazzi-caught moments in 2006, Lindsay was caught cozying up to one of Paris' exes, whom she then began dating.
Instead of addressing it privately, Paris made several comments about Lindsay's career and how it had become less successful than it was in the past. While the two have no beef today, they're certainly not friends after this years-long feud.
Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian: The Heartbreaking Hospital Room Cheating Reveal
Khloe and Tristan have been in an on-again-off-again relationship for years. The intimate details of their relationship have been heavily publicized on Keeping up with the Kardashians. At first, they seemed in love, but suddenly the tabloids were saturated with stories of Tristan's cheating and secret child with another woman. Khloe was devastated, but shockingly, despite all of this drama, they just welcomed their second child together. How could this be?
Khloe opened up about the scandal, expressing she still wants him in her life because he's a great father to their daughter. She also admitted one major thing: Their second child was only weeks away from being born by a surrogate when Tristan's scandal came out. So while the two will continue to co-parent, their romantic relationship is totally done after this latest scandal.
Ariana Grande and Piers Morgan: A Viral War Over Female Sexuality
Women in the limelight are often criticized and nitpicked for every career and personal choice they make. Piers Morgan, the broadcaster and journalist, is sometimes one of the people doing the prodding and poking. He always has something to share, and it's not always nice. He criticized many female stars, insinuating they're famous and make money only because of their looks, sexualizing themselves and capitalizing on it. But the renowned pop star, Ariana Grande, would not let that comment slide.
Setting the record straight, Ariana declared, "Women can be sexual AND talented. It's OUR choice." The entertainment industry is riddled with gender inequality, but people taking a stand like Ariana will bring the change that's so needed.
Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker: The Cold Truth Behind the Sisterhood
Sex and the City followed the lives of four best friends; it instantly rocked the nation when it aired, shocking audiences with how open and empowered these women were about their sexuality. While on-screen Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker were inseparable, the reality was much darker. Kim went on to publically bash Sarah and admitted she never liked her. She insisted people need to know who Sarah "really" is.
Kim spoke about feeling bullied while filming Sex and the City and said she would never step on set again. The reboot did, in fact, not feature her iconic character Samantha.
Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey: The Iconic “I Don’t Know Her” Diss by Mariah
Mariah Carey is known for being a diva, and this story surely earns her that title. She has long been an iconic figure in pop culture, famous for her music and unique whistle tone. But apparently, she has a particular distaste for Jennifer Lopez, who once also climbed the pop charts. Apparently, Mariah Carey claims she was supposed to use a sample in a song when Jennifer rushed to use it and release the song first.
Mariah Carey thought it was a shady move and never forgave her for it. When asked about her thoughts on Jennifer Lopez, she infamously responded, "I don't know her."
Taylor Swift and Katy Perry: A Pop War Over Stolen Tour Talent
These two pop stars have rocked the music world for quite some time. While they go head to head on the music charts, apparently, there's some personal competition too. Though Taylor Swift and Katy Perry's music is very different, their taste in partners is pretty similar. They share an ex-boyfriend John Mayer, but was this the reason for their catfight? Their feud seemed to be a compilation of subtweets and passive-aggressive comments, but what was the real problem?
It's unclear what was the actual cause of their rocky relationship; maybe the shared lovers or the desire to be the better pop star. Either way, these friends-turned-enemies–turned–friends again are back and better than ever.
Chelsea Handler and Angelina Jolie: The "Homewrecker" Late-Night Rants
The Chelsea Lately star, Chelsea Handler, is known for stirring the pot when it comes to celebrity commentary. She's never afraid to cross the line and talk about taboo celebrity culture. Notably, she has always had it out for Angelina Jolie, calling her names like homewrecker and demon. Even throughout Angelina's very public divorce, Chelsea kept going. She constantly talked about her, yet Angelina Jolie never snapped back or defended herself.
However, in the past few years, Chelsea had a change of heart. She spoke about how she crossed the line and should probably leave Angelina Jolie alone.
Katherine Heigl and Shonda Rhimes: The Infamous Emmy Withdrawal Insult
When you're an actor in Hollywood, having a bad reputation can affect the success of your career. It's never a good thing to have people talking about you, but that's what these two did to each other. Katherine Heigl starred in the hit TV show Grey's Anatomy, famously created, directed, and written by Shonda Rhimes. Oddly enough, Katherine withdrew her name for an Emmy award consideration for the hit series, and Shonda felt offended. Katherine then suddenly left the show, and Shonda couldn't hold back her contempt. She claimed Katherine was too difficult to worth with.
Katherine ultimately felt misunderstood by all and never seemed to mend her friendship with Shonda. Though she still has many fans, Shonda will never be one.
Jane Fonda and Megyn Kelly: The Plastic Surgery Question Fallout
Stars are used to being asked absurd and invasive questions all the time. There are no boundaries when it comes to their personal lives, even though they're regular people, just like everyone else. Usually, it would be considered rude to ask someone about their appearance if they didn't volunteer the information first. In this case, Megyn Kelly was interviewing Jane Fonda when she pried and asked her to talk about all the plastic surgery she had done.
Jane was visibly uncomfortable and later talked about feeling cornered. Though Megyn didn't care, she would later shame Jane Fonda on TV for not being open enough.
Priyanka Chopra and Rosie O’Donnell: The Cringey Mistaken Identity Blunder
We live in a day and age where gender equality is something that often makes the news, and you would think that two famous women would support each other. Rosie O'Donnell made a real social gaffe one evening while having dinner at the same place as Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. For some inexplicable reason, Rosie thought that Priyanka's last name came from Deepak Chopra, the famous author and alternative medicine advocate, who she thought was Chopra's father. Priyanka was rightfully offended and did not take it lightly.
Priyanka's father is not Deepak Chopra, and instead of apologizing to Priyanka personally, all she did was release a statement. Instead of calling Priyanka by her name, which is respectful, she just dubbed her the 'Chopra Wife,' which was a bit of a blow and undermined everything she had achieved in her career.
Katy Perry Vs. Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Katy Perry was indeed in a feud with a church; yup, that's right. The pop star was in the market for a new home when she came across a beautiful property that she instantly fell in love with. The only catch? It was formally a convent where the religious Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary lived. Though Katy insisted she purchase this new home, the nuns disagreed. Protests began, and the star was taken to court over the deal.
Eventually, the whole case was dropped, and Katy decided the trouble wasn't worth it. However, the nuns didn't quite forgive and forget so easily.
Azealia Banks and Lana Del Rey: The Infamous "Pull Up" Threat
Azealia Banks is no stranger to ongoing feuds with other artists, she has found herself in plenty, but this particular time it was with fellow musician Lana Del Rey. It all started when Lana spoke about her disdain for Kanye West because he wore a 'Make America Great Again' hat. Azealia immediately clapped back, posting all over her social media and calling Lana names, criticizing her music, and shaming her weight and appearance.
Lana didn't sit back and take it; she insinuated if Azealia said these things to her in person, the outcome would be very different. Singers to MMA fighters, anyone?
Jennifer Lawrence and Lala Kent: The "C-Word" Reality TV Rant
These stars are usually the ones on television being watched and criticized, but what do they do in their free time? Well, sometimes they also like to watch TV, and for Jennifer Lawrence, this got her in a bit of trouble. Jennifer shared in an interview that she enjoyed watching Vanderpump Rules and commented on how fake Lala Kent was. The reality star immediately shot back, tweeting, "You better pray I don't see you in the streets."
And that wasn't it. She started bashing Jennifer's career and calling her nasty names, but Jennifer hasn't said anything more since.
Whoopi Goldberg and Bella Thorne: A Viral Battle Over Victim-Blaming
Being in the public eye is challenging, and the lack of privacy is hard to come to terms with. Is it just the price you pay to be a celebrity, or does society have a warped view of stars and their boundaries? Bella Thorne and Whoopi Goldberg shared their hot take on this topic when Bella found herself in a sticky situation. Her phone was hacked, and someone threatened to post her revealing photos, so Bella had to think fast.
She immediately posted them herself, resisting the blackmail and empowering women not to feel shame for their bodies and sexuality. Whoopi criticized her and said she shouldn't have taken them in the first place, but Bella disagreed with her victim-blaming mentality.
Vin Diesel and The Rock: A War of Alpha Male Egos
Tempers can get pretty hot while filming action movies, and for Vin Diesel and the Rock, something happened on the set of one of the Fast and the Furious franchise films. It is unclear exactly what occurred, but it appears that it had something to do with one of them being unprofessional. Some comments were thrown around on social media, but fans were confused as to what the comments meant.
In 2019, both the Rock and Diesel seemed like they had made amends and the discord between them was no longer present on social media. But fans still really want to know what truly happened.
Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker: A Decades-Long Droid War of Disrespect
Star Wars films are some of the most widely recognized movies and have become a worldwide pop-culture phenomenon. People all have their favorite characters from the movies, but some of the most iconic ones to emerge from the Star Wars universe are the ones that aren't human! The droids C-3PO and R2-D2 were played by actors Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels. Though on-screen, they ended up as buddies; they haven't always been so fond of each other in real life.
Anthony Daniels, who played C-3PO, refused to do meet and greets with Kenny Baker and even said his role was irrelevant. He was definitely not a very supportive costar.
Axl Rose and Kurt Cobain: The Brutal "Shut Your B*tch Up" Showdown
The 1990s were a great time for rock 'n' roll; some of the most iconic bands were thriving and touring worldwide. These two rock stars, in particular, were terrific musicians but had just as big egos. When the lead singer of Guns N' Roses, Axl Rose, asked Nirvana's lead singer, Kurt Cobain, to open for them, he turned it down. Axl's reaction to this was uncalled for and would start a very public feud.
Kurt Cobain was adamant he didn't like what Guns N' Roses stood for and wouldn't compromise. Axl became so enraged that he began calling Kurt's wife at the time, Courtney Love, horrible names.
Jesy Nelson and Little Mix: The "Unfollow" Heard 'Round the World
Fans were shocked when they learned Jesy Nelson was leaving the girl group, Little Mix. In a very personal and vulnerable interview, she shared how much her time in the band was taking a toll on her mental health and happiness. "I've got to do a music video today; I need to starve myself. I need to go on an extreme diet so I can look like the other three."
Jesy could no longer handle the pressure and didn't like the unhealthy path she was heading on, so she decided to leave.
William Shatner and George Takei: A Fifty-Year War of Petty Snubs
Star Trek was known for its cultural influence on the world of sci-fi television. These actors, William Shatner and George Takei were well-known for their parts in the series and even worked on the same ship! However, in real life, they wanted nothing to do with each other. This feud between William Shatner and George Takei started in the 1960s and is still ongoing! Ironically they both wrote books and admitted harsh things about each other.
George Takei claimed William Shatner ignored him the entire time they worked together. At the same time, Shatner accused Takei of not inviting him to his wedding and being sick in the head. Probably a good idea they're not friends.
Jimmy Kimmel and Sean Hannity: From Melania Jabs to Indefinite Suspension
While the general concept of what these two men do seems similar, the difference is significant. Jimmy Kimmel reports news and pop culture for entertainment, whereas Sean Hannity's goal is to inform and persuade people about the latest news and politics. However, hostility and competition were felt between the two when a sudden confrontation bubbled to the surface. Jimmy and Sean began going back and forth on air, passive-aggressively insulting each other.
What was the point of this bitter feud? Jokes were made in ill favor and then taken to heart, but since then, Kimmel apologized for making a joke about Hannity and wants to put it in the past.
