Top 10 Celebrity Sibling Feuds
#10: Kevin, Joe & Nick Jonas
Top 20 Hilarious Kevin Hart Moments
Following the dazzling realm of Disney Channel fame, four albums, and gearing up for their 8th world tour, the JoBros made a surprising announcement: a hiatus. Then, in 2013, the crushing news came - the band was no more. Behind the scenes, whispers spoke of “creative differences” and a “deep rift within the band.” They openly discussed their split on numerous occasions, even revealing Nick, the youngest, initiated the tough conversation. While apart, each brother delved into their own career, growing individually as artists. This personal evolution paved the way for their eventual reunion in 2019. In their “Chasing Happiness” documentary, they seemed to seal this turbulent chapter, marking a triumphant return.
#9: Alec Baldwin & Stephen Baldwin
Picture a typical family gathering: your outspoken Democrat cousin chatting away beside your mega-conservative uncle. We’ve all been there, including the Baldwins. Alec, the vocal Democrat, found himself at odds with his conservative brother Stephen, an early Trump supporter. Watching Alec mock Trump on national TV probably didn’t do much for the relationship either. While Stephen admitted he found it amusing, he felt it went too far. During a 2018 interview, Stephen shared that he and his brother had not spoken since the 2016 election. In 2019, Stephen publicly criticized Alec for signing a pro-choice abortion petition, highlighting their ongoing differences. This family divide mirrors the political splits many experience today.
#8: Julia Roberts & Eric Roberts
You Had to Be There: Reliving the Julia Roberts & Kiefer Sutherland Drama of 1990
Years ago, Eric Roberts explained that his substance use disorder in the late ‘80s strained his relationship with his sister. He added that his difficult behavior at that time caused her and other family members to take a step back. Still, he insisted that the two never feuded; rather, it was a creation of the press after comments both of them made about not wanting to constantly be associated with the other. However, tension reportedly arose when Julia supported Eric’s ex-girlfriend, Kelly Cunningham, in a custody battle for their daughter, actress Emma Roberts. The siblings supposedly rekindled their relationship after Julia’s twins were born in 2004. Julia also had a challenging relationship with her half-sister Nancy Motes, who tragically ended her life, citing the difficult family dynamics.
#7: Britney Spears & Jamie Lynn Spears
Britney Spears' Memoir: Top 10 Shocking Reveals
It seems these sisters have had a tricky relationship, in part due to Britney’s long conservatorship. The elder Spears sister has repeatedly accused her family, including Jaime Lynn, of mistreating and taking advantage of her. Things escalated after Britney started speaking more openly about her experiences post-conservatorship. She accused her sister of exploiting her fame to sell her memoir and fabricating stories about their relationship and upbringing. Their disputes have played out publicly, mainly on social media, with both responding to each other’s claims. As of writing, it’s uncertain where their relationship stands.
#6: Prince William & Prince Harry
Prince Harry's Spare: Top 10 Most Shocking Reveals
In the public eye, the bond between the Princes, shaped by their upbringing and unimaginable family tragedy, seemed unbreakable. However, things apparently soured, largely due to concerns about Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle. Harry’s memoir “Spare”, on the other hand, suggests the first fractures appeared after the current Prince and Princess of Wales got married. Things seemed to escalate when the Sussexes chose to step back from royal duties. Their subsequent ventures, including a deal with Netflix and revealing interviews, only deepened the divide. Reports of royal snubs and high tensions became widespread, sparking rumors of peace talks and reconciliation; yet, the future remains uncertain for these once close brothers.
#5: Olivia de Havilland & Joan Fontaine
Top 10 Silliest Olivia Colman Moments
This sibling rivalry unfolds like a gripping Hollywood drama. Starting in childhood, their rocky relationship grew more intense as they pursued careers in Hollywood. Hostilities peaked at the 1942 Oscars when both sisters were nominated for “Best Actress.” Fontaine won and, soon, conflicting rumors surfaced about whether or not there was a congratulations from her sister, and whether or not it was ignored. Their ongoing rivalry was marked by claims to each other’s success and snide remarks. Fontaine also blamed her sister for not informing her about their mother’s worsening condition or inviting her to the memorial. Sadly, the sisters never reconciled.
#4: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson
Top 5 Facts About Michael B. Jordan
Sibling rivalry is natural, especially when you're both musicians aiming for fame. Jermaine initially left the Jackson 5 to pursue a solo career, igniting a chasm with his siblings. However, when his solo efforts didn't match his brother's success, he returned. In 1987, Jermaine released “Word to the Badd!!,” which many interpreted as a diss track aimed at his younger brother, Michael. Fortunately, it seems that they were able to talk things out. But, if you think that's bad, Jermaine also secretly dated and later married the mother of his brother Randy's children. Just imagine if your sibling did something like that? Could you forgive them?
#3: Kim Kardashian & Kourtney Kardashian
Top 10 Celebrity Scandals and Feuds of 2017
Despite being sisters, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian are like night and day which tends to lead to frequent clashes between them. While sibling disagreements are common, these two seem to argue more often than not, and Kourtney isn’t the only sibling with whom Kim has exchanged heated words. Kim and Kourtney’s conflicts even turned physical once, requiring Khloe to step in. Recently, tensions over-boiled when Kim discussed a Dolce & Gabbana contract with Kourtney, who accused her of prioritizing business over her wedding. Kim insisted she only wanted her sister’s happiness, but Kourtney retorted with some harsh words. They seem to have managed to talk through their differences, well, for now, at least.
#2: Madonna & Christopher Ciccone
Imagine this: you're a global music sensation, and your brother decides to capitalize on your fame by writing a tell-all book. To make things worse, it's not exactly flattering and dives into deeply personal subjects. Supposedly, the rift between the siblings started earlier when she allegedly didn't hire him as her tour director despite him being her previous personal assistant. She even accused him of theft, a claim he denies. But writing an exposé about your own sister? Ouch. Understandably, Madonna was profoundly hurt, sparking a feud. Last we heard, the pair had patched things up for the sake of their family.
#1: Liam Gallagher & Noel Gallagher
Top 10 Times Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Made Us Believe in Love
One of the most notorious and enduring feuds in the music industry involves the co-founders of the British rock band Oasis. Emerging from the band’s ‘90s fame, their clashes infiltrated not just their personal bond but also the band’s public image. During their 2009 tour, tensions reached a boiling point, leading to a dramatic fight and the band’s eventual split. Since then, the animosity has persisted, playing out in continuous public jabs. Their feud has endured so long that Liam even claims to have lost his brother’s contact details. But he’s hoping for a call that might bridge the chasm between them. Only time will tell if reconciliation is possible.
