This is a long-lost friendship. Swift and Perry were great friends in the early to mid-2000s. They frequently tweeted and gave birthday messages. By 2012 or 2013, the friendship had deteriorated. Over the past five years, there have been scores of small jabs, and the beef shows no signs of ending. The craziest part about this scenario is that neither person has mentioned the other by name, just through media and social media channels like Twitter. Both dated John Mayer, which may be a factor.
6. Jennifer Lopez & Mariah Carey

The start of this conflict is easy to pinpoint. In the early 2000s, Mariah Carey was interviewed by a foreign TV network. When asked about Jennifer Lopez, she replied, "I don't know her." A feud ensued. Since then, they've been throwing shade nonstop. These two don't like each other, whether it's a social media comment or an interview jab. They keep talking about the rivalry and have never said they're friends.
5. George Clooney & David O. Russell

This dispute goes beyond an actor and director disagreeing on site. Clooney and Russell had a physical argument while filming Three Kings in 1999. George confronted Russell after he verbally and physically berated certain cast members. Clooney grabbed Russell by the throat after Russell head-butted him. We're sure the two don't have bad blood now, but they did for a spell after this altercation.
4. Will Smith & Janet Hubert

This feud has lasted decades and won't end soon. Will Smith and Janet Hubert shoot The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (Hubert played Aunt Vivian for the show's first few seasons)? She quit after three seasons. Creative differences weren't the reason, as many believed. Since leaving, Hubert has said Will Smith caused her to leave. She was furious that the show's star wouldn't raise her. She's called him selfish and criticized him repeatedly, but Smith has been respectful. Hubert and Smith disagreed in 2017. This feud seems to have persisted over the years.
3. Drake & Meek Mill

This is possibly the most renowned rap beef of the decade, albeit it can't match the 1990s West Coast vs. East Coast beef. Meek Mill said on Twitter that Drake uses a ghostwriter. The battle began then. This feud dominated entertainment news for weeks as the two traded diss recordings and the rap world took sides. While things never became insanely violent, they could have if they had been together. Things have eased between these two, but a diss tune, or rap lyric may reignite the feud.
2. Tom Cruise & Brooke Shields

Tom Cruise's unusual public behavior in the early to mid-2000s included "climbing on Oprah's couch." He also considered Brooke Shields' use of antidepressants reckless. Scientologist who thinks psychiatry is nonsense. Tom Cruise was criticized by Shields and mental health campaigners for his comments. After giving birth to her daughter in 2003, Shields suffered from postpartum depression. He subsequently apologized, but it took him longer than it should have, and many doubted it was real.

These two had a fast, intense altercation that neither has avoided mentioning. They played adversaries in 1999's Any Given Sunday. As filming progressed, things heated up. One scene between the two got WAY out of hand. LL pushed Jamie Foxx, who wasn't in the screenplay, to make it more real. The two then hit each other multiple times, causing minor facial injuries. LL Cool J rapped on Foxx's manhood as the feud continued. In 2006, a mature LL Cool J and
Jamie Foxx reconciled.
