Reviewing Hollywood’s Biggest Feuds and Scandals of 2025

From on-set tensions to public breakups and legal battles, the entertainment world is brimming with high-profile conflicts that have left fans stunned. Some feuds are subtle, brewing beneath the surface, while others explode into full-blown scandals. Here’s a breakdown of the biggest celebrity clashes dominating headlines.

Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni

Fans speculated about tension between It Ends With Us co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni after their lack of interaction on the red carpet and in press appearances. Reports suggest the friction stemmed from on-set issues, including claims that Baldoni created a difficult work environment. A particularly contentious moment involved a scene where he allegedly made Lively uncomfortable about her postpartum body.

Further complicating matters, the two reportedly had conflicting visions for the film, leading to separate edits. While Baldoni downplayed rumors by suggesting Lively should direct the sequel, the situation escalated when Lively filed a lawsuit in late December, accusing him of sexual harassment and a smear campaign. Baldoni and his team denied the allegations, calling them an attempt to salvage her reputation. Despite the controversy, the film performed well at the box office, but Baldoni has confirmed he won’t return to direct the sequel.

Madison Bailey & Rudy Pankow

Rumors of a fallout between Outer Banks stars Madison Bailey and Rudy Pankow sparked after fans noticed they allegedly used body doubles for an intimate scene and had unfollowed each other on social media. The speculation grew when the co-stars, once friendly, seemed to avoid each other during press events and public outings.

Despite the rumors, sources close to the show insist there’s no bad blood, pointing out that Bailey and Pankow filmed most of their scenes together without issue. During interviews, both remained professional and gave no indication of a rift. In an apparent move to quiet speculation, Bailey recently shared a photo with Pankow, suggesting they are at least on civil terms. While neither has publicly addressed the rumored feud, their interactions—or lack thereof—will continue to fuel curiosity as Outer Banks moves into its next season.

Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia & Zach Bryan

After Zach Bryan and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia’s relationship ended, things quickly turned ugly. Bryan announced their split publicly, reportedly without informing Brianna first, leaving her blindsided. In the months following, Brianna accused Bryan of emotional manipulation, claiming he isolated her from friends and family and created an unhealthy dynamic.

During a podcast appearance, she described their relationship as toxic, alleging that Bryan’s controlling behavior made her fearful of making mistakes. She also accused him of infidelity, claiming he had cheated on her throughout their relationship—even after purchasing an engagement ring. Bryan has yet to respond to the allegations, which Brianna claims is because he knows the accusations are true. As the controversy unfolds, fans remain divided, with some supporting Brianna’s claims and others questioning the timing of her revelations.

Dorit Kemsley & Kyle Richards

The tension between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Dorit Kemsley and Kyle Richards has been brewing for some time, but things reached a boiling point this season. Dorit expressed frustration over feeling sidelined by Kyle, especially in the wake of Kyle’s separation from Mauricio Umansky. She claimed Kyle had become distant, leaving her questioning their friendship.

The drama escalated when Dorit revealed that Kyle sent her a long text “silencing” her before the Season 13 reunion. Kyle also downplayed their friendship on Amazon Live, calling Dorit’s past statements an “exaggeration.” For Dorit, this was the breaking point, leading to an emotional confrontation. While the two women have hinted that they’ve worked through some of their issues, their friendship may never return to what it once was. Fans will have to wait for the reunion to see if they can truly mend things.
