Take a look back at some of Hollywood’s ugliest feuds of all time!
Megyn Kelly vs. Jane Fonda
Donald Trump vs. Megyn Kelly
Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly first clashed at the GOP debate she moderated on August 6, when she questioned his statements about women. In a follow-up interview, an incensed Trump called the Fox News host a "lightweight" and told CNN's Don Lemon that "you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever." This initial spat turned into a bigger feud between Trump and Fox News, which has repeatedly stood behind Kelly amid Trump's comments about her on air and on social media. The drama escalated when the Trump campaign announced on January 26 that the 2016 GOP presidential hopeful refused to participate in the final debate because Kelly was one of the moderators. "Unlike the very stupid, highly incompetent people running our country into the ground, Mr. Trump knows when to walk away," the real estate mogul's formal statement read. "Roger Ailes and Fox News think they can toy with him, but Mr. Trump doesn't play games." Fox News, for their part, replied: "We can’t give in to terrorizations toward any of our employees. Trump is still welcome at Thursday night’s debate and will be treated fairly, just as he has been during his 132 appearances on Fox News & Fox Business, but he can’t dictate the moderators or the questions.”
Vivica A. Fox vs. 50 Cent
50 Shades of cray! Vivica A. Fox created a firestorm on social media in November 2015 when she implied on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live that her ex-boyfriend 50 Cent was gay. "I mean, we had a great time," she said on the show. "He just seems like he's got something that's not quite clear." Fox brought up an old magazine cover featuring 50 Cent, who she dated in 2003, and Soulja Boy. "He just looked like a booty snatcher on that one to me," Fox remarked. Her ex caught wind of the comments and replied on Instagram: "Now she thinks I'm gay because I let her lick my ass. Wait, I didn't want her to, she forced me, my hands were tied. 50 shades of grey." He added in another post: "Bitch remember when you told me f--k Halle Berry? And you could have played all the roles she did better then her? And I just looked at you … like what the f--k kind [of pill] s--t did you take?LMAO."
The feud reignited in March 2018 when Fox called her sex life with the rapper “cherished and special” but PG-13 in her book Every Day, I’m Hustling. “I’m waking up to this s--t,” he responded on Instagram. “That was 14 years ago. Smh who does this? What the f--k!”
Taylor Swift v. Nicki Minaj
Communication. The 1989 songstress got into a heated argument with the rap artist in July 2015, after MTV announced its nominees for Video of the Year. Nicki Minaj — whose "Anaconda" was memorably excluded from the pack of nominees (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran,BeyoncĂ© and Mark Ronson) — tweeted that the show "celebrates women with very slim bodies.” The always-slim Swift was not pleased, assuming that Minaj was referencing her and tweeted: "@NICKIMINAJ I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot…" The spat got so intense that Sheeran, and even Kim Kardashian, chimed in.
Weeks later, Swift and Minaj buried the hatchet and performed together at the 2015 MTV VMAs. "I send text messages now," Swift said in a subsequent interview with NME. "If there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding, I go to someone's management, I get their number and I text them."
Megyn Kelly vs. Jane Fonda
The Megyn Kelly Today host asked the Oscar winner about her experience with plastic surgery during an interview in September 2017. Visibly taken aback, Fonda responded, “We really want to talk about that now?” The feud reignited the following January when Lily Tomlin joked on the Today show that she and Fonda have been friends since before the Grace and Frankie star’s “first face-lift,” to which Fonda replied, “We don’t need to hear that. Who are you, Megyn Kelly?” The former Fox News anchor apparently caught wind of the comment and responded days later, saying Fonda “appears to be fixated on an exchange I had with her months ago.” She went on to call Fonda “Hanoi Jane” because of the actress’ controversial trip to the city during the Vietnam War.
Kailyn Lowry vs. Jenelle Evans
The feud between Teen Mom 2 stars Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans was reignited over Twitter on December 29. The costars are battling over sharing stories about each other in the media and the cease and desist letter Evans’ sent Lowry last month. Hustle & Heart author tweeted at her costar, “@PBandJenelley_1 Jenelle don’t ever f—ing try to scare me with a cease & desist when you’re posting this BULLS—T.” Lowry was referring to a story about the paternity of 5-month-old son Lux that Evans shared via Instagram Story. Evans responded calling Lowry “thirsty."
Vicki Gunvalson and Meghan King Edmonds
Real Housewives of Orange County costars Vicki Gunvalson and Meghan King Edmonds started a new feud after Gunvalson told Us Weekly that she didn’t know why Edmonds was a part of the Bravo reality show. “She lives in St. Louis, she’s pregnant, she has her husband, they’re going to have six kids, she’s not friends with anybody. I don’t know what the correlation with her is,” Gunvalson said on December 12. Edmonds responded the next day: “She’s so desperate. She says she doesn’t care about me, yet she’s one of my top engagers on Instagram — I don’t even follow her — and she’s talking about me. It’s laughable. Additionally, I’m really close with Tamra and Shannon, so goes to show how little she knows them.”
NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak
Real Housewives of Atlanta costars NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak got into a feud on Instagram on October 5 over a Snapchat video taken by Zociak's daughter Brielle Biermann, that showed roaches crawling on Leakes' bathroom floor. Leakes shared the clip, calling Biermann "racist" and Zolciak a "trashy mom." Zolciak responded: "I had hoped for many yrs you would have seen the bigger picture but it's evident you haven't, I will continue to pray for you."
Tyrese Gibson and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
Tyrese Gibson pointed fingers at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in October 2017 when the Fast and Furious 9 film got pushed back, writing on Instagram, “Congratulations to @TheRock and your bother in law aka 7 bucks producing partner @hhgarcia41 for making the fast and furious franchise about YOU.”
He also added, “Diversity, love, multi ethnic worldwide multi generational, United Nations, One Race, Fast Family...... Until Dewayne showed up I guess this whole time he had a problem cause he wasn't the ONLY ONE on the movie poster.” Johnson has yet to respond to the accusations.
Jef Holm and Arie Luyendyk Jr.
Holm slammed his ex pal after the race car driver was announced as the next season 22 Bachelor in September 2017. "Oh the stories I could tell…" he tweeted. "I stopped being friends with him years ago because he's disgusting." The two appeared on Emily Maynard's season 8 of The Bachelorette in 2012. Maynard chose Holm (the exes have since split) and Luyendyk Jr. was the runner-up.
Kanye West vs. Jay-Z
West complained about his former pal Jay-Z during an October 2016 concert, claiming the rapper didn’t call after West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, was robbed at gunpoint in Paris, and complained that their kids never get to play with Jay-Z and wife Beyonce’s daughter, Blue Ivy. During another concert a month later, he continued ranting about the superstar couple, claiming that the “Formation” songstress wouldn’t perform at the VMAs unless she won Video of the Year over the notoriously outspoken rapper, and again complained about Jay-Z not calling. The “4:44” rapper addressed the beef during an August 2017 interview with Rap Radar podcast, saying that lyrics on his 2017 album were “not a diss” against West, but he admitted there was still hard feelings between the two. “What really hurt me was you can’t bring my kid or my wife into it,” Jay-Z explained. “You brought my family into it, now it’s a problem with me. That’s a real, real problem. And he knows it’s a problem.”
Neil Patrick Harris vs. James Woods
The actors sparred on Twitter after Woods posted a photo of a family supporting their son at Pride and compared the 8-year-old to a murderer. “This is sweet. Wait until this poor kid grows up, realizes what you’ve done, and stuffs both of you dismembered into a freezer in the garage,” Woods tweeted on Saturday, July 9. “Utterly ignorant and classless, Mr. Woods. I'm friends with this family. You know not of what you speak, and should be ashamed of yourself,” the 44-year-old Emmy award winner shot back.
Corey Taylor vs. Chad Kroeger
The rockers started sparring in June 2017 when Nickelback frontman Kroeger called Slipknot a “gimmick” and referred to the band as “Nickelback Lite.” Slipknot singer Taylor responded by saying that Kroeger has “a face like a foot.” He continued, “All I know is I’ve been voted ‘Sexiest Dude in Rock’ [while] wearing a mask. You’ve been voted ‘Ugliest Dude in Rock’ twice without one.” Taylor still couldn’t let it go when asked about the feud in a later interview, adding, “Chad Kroger is to rock what KFC is to chicken.”
Debra Messing vs. Susan Sarandon
The actresses battled it out several times on Twitter during the 2016 presidential election. Sarandon was a Bernie Sanders supporter while the Will & Grace alum rooted for Hillary Clinton. "She’s not very well informed and so sometimes she gets in areas that she really hasn’t thought through, maybe? She’s Trumpian a little bit like that," Sarandon said during Watch What Happens Live in May 2017.
Chelsea Handler vs. Angelina Jolie
Handler called Jolie a "f—king lunatic" shortly after the Maleficent actress announced her split from Brad Pitt in September 2016. (The comedian is friends with Pitt's first ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston.) Handler went on to joke about his "emancipation" while attending a charity event honoring celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who represented Jolie in the split.
Gwyneth Paltrow vs. Martha Stewart
Beef in the kitchen. The feud began when Stewart took a jab at Paltrow's lifestyle website, Goop. "She really wants to be part of the lifestyle business. … She's a charming, pretty person who has a feeling for lifestyle. She wants to be a lifestyle arbiter. Fine. Good. I think I started this whole category of lifestyle," she said on Bloomberg TV in 2013. The following year, she used Paltrow and Chris Martin's "conscious uncoupling" divorce expression in her magazine. Paltrow's response? She posted a "jailbird cake" recipe, seemingly referring to Stewart's five-month jail sentence in 2004 for fraud.
Jennifer Lopez vs. Mariah Carey
It all began in the early 2000s when Carey reportedly told paparazzi "I don't know her" when asked about Lopez. (She'd repeat the phrase during a Watch What Happens Live appearance in 2016.) Lopez, however, claims that there is no bad blood. "I would love to meet her, and I would love to be friends with her. I think she's incredibly talented, and I've always been a fan of hers," she said on WWHL in 2015.
Rihanna vs. Ciara
Oh, snap! In February 2011, Ciara said during Fashion Police that the "Stay" singer "wasn't the nicest" when they crossed paths. RiRi's response? She tweeted, "My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u?"
Dwayne Johnson vs. Vin Diesel
Hot head alert! In August 2016, The Rock ranted about an unprofessional Fast and Furious 8 costar on social media, which was rumored to be about Diesel. "I don't think the world really realizes how close we are, in a weird way," Diesel would later say on the Todayshow in April 2017. "I think some things may be blown out of proportion. I don't think that was his intention. I know he appreciates how much I work this franchise. In my house, he's Uncle Dwayne."
Chloe Grace Moretz vs. Kim Kardashian
Moretz took Bette Midler's side in her feud with Kardashian in March 2016, after the singer-songwriter called out the reality star for posting nude selfies on social media. "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," the If I Stay actress tweeted at Kardashian, who sniped back with a tweet of her own. "Let's all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to twitter, since no one knows who she is. your nylon cover is cute boo."
Kanye West vs. Wiz Khalifa
#AllDisrespecttoWizKhalifa! Wiz Khalifa was the one to first ignite this crazy feud, calling out Kanye West for changing his album title to Waves. "Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him," Khalifa blasted on Twitter. West initially ignored the Pittsburgh native, but ultimately blew up on January 27, after mistaking a "KK" reference made by Khalifa to be about his wife, Kim Kardashian. (Khalifa, however, was referring to his Khalifa Kush.) "You let a stripper trap you," West tweeted about Amber Rose in one of his replies. "You own waves???? I own your child!!!!" West eventually deleted his comments but he concluded the spar with this message: "I’m happy that I now know that KK means weed… please excuse the confusion … now back to #WAVES."
Donald Trump vs. Megyn Kelly
Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly first clashed at the GOP debate she moderated on August 6, when she questioned his statements about women. In a follow-up interview, an incensed Trump called the Fox News host a "lightweight" and told CNN's Don Lemon that "you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever." This initial spat turned into a bigger feud between Trump and Fox News, which has repeatedly stood behind Kelly amid Trump's comments about her on air and on social media. The drama escalated when the Trump campaign announced on January 26 that the 2016 GOP presidential hopeful refused to participate in the final debate because Kelly was one of the moderators.

"Roger Ailes and Fox News think they can toy with him, but Mr. Trump doesn't play games." Fox News, for their part, replied: "We can’t give in to terrorizations toward any of our employees. Trump is still welcome at Thursday night’s debate and will be treated fairly, just as he has been during his 132 appearances on Fox News & Fox Business, but he can’t dictate the moderators or the questions.”
Vivica A. Fox vs. 50 Cent
50 Shades of cray! Vivica A. Fox created a firestorm on social media in November 2015 when she implied on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live that her ex-boyfriend 50 Cent was gay.

Miley Cyrus v. Nicki Minaj
What's (not) good? After Miley Cyrus called out Nicki Minaj for her "not so nice" comments about Taylor Swift in a New York Timesinterview, the "Anaconda" rapper unexpectedly called out the 2015 MTV VMAs host at the August show — on live television. “And now back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me in the press: Miley, what’s good?" Minaj said on stage, as she accepted her award. The Pink Friday rapper also mouthed, "Don’t play with me, bitch!” Cyrus (as well her family members, the audience and well, everyone) appeared shocked from the side. No reconciliation has been reported.
