Some Petty & Juicy Celebrity Grudges You Probably Didn’t Know About

Hollywood might seem like a place of endless smiles and red carpets, but behind the scenes, egos clash, and feuds simmer. Some of these celebrity grudges are so petty they are hilarious, while others are downright legendary.

Buckle up because these are the juiciest ones you probably didn’t know about.

Mariah Carey and J.Lo

If there is one grudge that refuses to die, it is this one. Mariah Carey’s infamous “I don’t know her” comment about Jennifer Lopez is one of pop culture’s most iconic shade moments. But the feud started way before that meme-worthy moment.

Carey has long claimed that her ex-husband, Sony exec Tommy Mottola, played a role in stirring the pot. In 2001, Lopez worked with Mottola on her album J.Lo, and things got messy when Lopez’s hit “I’m Real” ended up using a sample Carey had originally planned for her own song.

Carey wasn’t thrilled and made subtle digs in interviews. Decades later, she still insists she doesn’t know J.Lo. And honestly? That is a commitment to a grudge.

Elton John and Madonna

This one is interesting! Elton John and Madonna started off friendly, but things took a sharp turn when John publicly slammed Madonna’s Bond theme “Die Another Day.” He didn’t hold back, saying the song had no melody and wasn’t fit for the franchise. Ouch.

YT / Madonna, never one to back down, didn’t respond directly but made it clear through her actions that she wasn’t bothered by Elton John’s words.

However, John didn’t stop there. Over the years, he kept taking jabs at her, calling her lip-syncing “a disaster” and saying she dressed like a “fairground stripper.” He later apologized. But let’s be real: This grudge had already made its mark.

Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker

On-screen, they played best friends, but off-screen? Not so much. Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker’s “Sex and the City” feud wasn’t just a rumor. It was very real. It all started with Cattrall feeling underpaid compared to Parker, who was the clear star of the show. When Cattrall asked for more money, things turned frosty.

After years of tension, the situation exploded in 2017 when Cattrall made it clear she wanted nothing to do with a third “Sex and the City” movie. Parker played it cool, but Cattrall didn’t. She called Parker out publicly, saying she “could have been nicer.”

When Parker offered condolences after Cattrall’s brother passed away, Cattrall shot back, calling her actions fake. Talk about a grudge that won’t quit.

Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

If there’s one celebrity grudge built on pure ego, it’s this one. Vin Diesel and The Rock were once brothers-in-arms on the “Fast & Furious” set. But things got rocky in 2016 when Johnson made a cryptic Instagram post calling out some of his male co-stars for being “candy asses.” Spoiler: He was talking about Diesel.

Despite attempts to smooth things over, the feud kept revving up.

Marca / Vin Diesel claimed he had to give The Rock “tough love” to improve his performance, which The Rock found laughable.

For years, they avoided each other, and Johnson even skipped “Fast 9.” But in 2023, Johnson shocked everyone by returning to the franchise. Could this grudge finally be buried? Only time will tell.

Martha Stewart and Ina Garten

They both rule the world of home cooking, but their relationship is anything but sweet. Martha Stewart and Ina Garten started off as friends – Stewart even helped launch Garten’s career. But when Stewart went to prison in 2004, things shifted.

According to Stewart, Garten completely ghosted her. She described the silence as “distressing” and said it felt like a betrayal. Garten, on the other hand, sees things differently. When asked about the feud, she simply said Stewart’s version of events “wasn’t accurate” and that it’s time to move on.

The tension may have cooled, but the bitterness? Still there.
