Top 10 Most Unexpected Hollywood Feuds

Top 10 Most Unexpected Hollywood Feuds

Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for our fave messy celeb fights we never saw coming.

#10: Martha Stewart vs. Gwyneth Paltrow

It all started in 2013 when Stewart made eyebrow-raising comments about Paltrow regarding Goop. She questioned Paltrow’s authenticity and implied she was a copycat who was coming after her lifestyle brand. Stewart added that she wouldn't do that if she were confident in her acting. Whoa! Paltrow responded by stating Stewart seeing her brand as competition was a compliment. The two went back and forth with the feud - this included giving their recipes shady titles and Paltrow hiring Stewart’s former CEO. To be honest, we wouldn’t want to be on either of their bad sides.

#9: Zayn Malik vs. Jake Paul vs. Gigi Hadid vs. Logan Paul

In February 2020, Jake Paul made a now-deleted Tweet saying Zayn is a little guy with a big attitude. Gigi Hadid, who was his girlfriend at the time, replied to Paul and essentially called him irrelevant. Paul later apologized, saying he was intoxicated. Then, Jake’s brother Logan Paul got involved. He shared a video to show how the two went to Malik’s hotel room to talk to him while Malik wasn’t having any of it. And neither were his fans, who were quick to point out that in that video, the Paul brothers pretty much harassed Malik. Case closed.

#8: Debby Ryan vs. Skai Jackson

Alright, “Jessie” fans, do you remember this one? Years ago, Debby Ryan got a message on Tumblr from someone saying Skai Jackson had been saying bad things about Ryan online. The fan went as far as to say they got screenshots and shared some of the accusations Jackson allegedly made against Ryan. Ryan responded, saying if she were 12 like Jackson was at the time, she’d be insecure, too. However, she went on to say she wishes all child actors, especially the ones whose parents are malicious, would be more emotionally secure. Ouch. It’s unclear if the two patched things up or not, but later on, Jackson said she actually loves Ryan.

#7: Demi Lovato vs. Selena Gomez

From sharing fun videos together to later working together, Lovato and Gomez were BFF goals back in 2008. Who could forget about their so-called feud with Miley and Mandy?! Iconic. But what happened between them? According to the rumors, the two slowly began to drift apart as their lifestyles entered drastically different pathways. By the time 2010 came around, Lovato said she would turn to Miley Cyrus when times were rough. Meanwhile, Gomez was BFFs with Taylor Swift. In 2020, Lovato confirmed she was no longer friends with Gomez. Their BFF break up remains a private and unresolved matter.

#6: Drake Bell vs. Josh Peck

This one all started when Bell called out Peck publicly for not inviting him to his wedding. He added that their ties were officially cut. Fast forward to a couple of months, and they have seemingly fixed their broken friendship. However, later on, Peck revealed that he and Bell weren’t in touch at all in the 10 years after “Drake & Josh” finished. Bell calling him out on the night of his wedding took him by complete surprise, and Peck revealed he sternly asked him to apologize to his wife. Bell and his wife claimed that Josh also added a lot of other information about them that wasn’t really true. How messy!

#5: Doja Cat vs. Noah Schnapp

One summer's day in 2022, "Stranger Things" star Noah Schnapp decided to share a screenshot with his fans. It exposed the singer Doja Cat asking Schnapp to connect her with Joseph Quinn. Doja Cat quickly fired back and called Schnapp exploitative over sharing a private conversation. However, fans took Schanpp's side due to the two's age difference and called her out for messaging the 17-year-old actor in the first place. Doja Cat was fuming, but things eventually simmered down. Schnapp revealed he apologized and added that he still follows her and loves her music. And that’s that. The feud is over!

#4: Sarah Jessica Parker vs. Kim Cattrall

In 2017, Cattrall dropped a bombshell, saying she was never friends with her “Sex and the City” co-star Sarah Jessica Parker. Fast forward to the spin-off series "And Just Like That..." which featured the main “Sex and the City” actresses apart from Cattrall. Cattrall wasn't too happy about that, according to comments on X that she liked. Parker then said that she wouldn't be happy if Cattrall returned to the SATC world due to public drama. Cattrall called Parker cruel, which Parker denied being. When Cattrall did eventually appear on the new show, she didn’t interact with any of her "Sex and the City" coworkers during the filming. The feud remains unresolved.

#3: Ariana Grande vs. Piers Morgan

This one began when Piers Morgan started to criticize Little Mix on X after seeing their sultry photos. Their friend Ariana Grande wasn’t happy about his comments and publicly replied to him. Morgan pointed out that Grande shouldn’t sexualize herself to advance her career. But Grande stated that women can be sexual and talented at the same time. The two had a heated back-and-forth exchange, and Grande declined to appear on Morgan’s show to discuss it further. However, it seemed like since then, they’ve met in person and have had a face-to-face discussion, which made them bury the hatched.

#2: Taylor Swift vs. Katy Perry

It was all rumors until 2017, when Katy Perry confirmed that things were not all too well between her and Taylor Swift. Years before, Swift revealed her hit single “Bad Blood” was about a woman in the music industry, and fans speculated it was about Perry. Swift said that the woman did something so bad it turned them against each other instantly. Apparently, the feud started over Perry’s backup dancers, who danced on Swift’s Red tour but left to go back to Perry before Swift’s tour ended. The two had very public back-and-forth exchanges over this, but eventually, it all ended when Perry sent Swift a literal olive branch.

#1: Will Smith vs. Chris Rock

How could we possibly forget about this one?! The moment where Will Smith slaps Chris Rock on stage at the 2022 Oscars went absolutely viral and took everyone by surprise. But, according to the rumors, Rock and Smith weren’t on good terms for quite some time. Rock has made public comments about Smith’s wife prior to the Oscars, and the slap was a result of Smith being pushed to the edge. Reactions to this feud are mixed. Some say Rock absolutely deserved it after unfairly joking about Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia. Others state Smith was extremely unprofessional and should’ve handled that privately.
