Hateful Facts About Hollywood Feuds
“If only those who dream about Hollywood knew how difficult it all is.”—Greta Garbo.
One price of celebrity is that issues which would normally be kept private are followed with great interest by thousands, even millions, of people.
As a result, those petty squabbles that people get into all the time become blown out of proportion and turn into feuds that last years.
Hollywood has always provided its share of these feuds and rivalries, much to the delight of those who adore a bit of gossip. They even made a tv series about the infamous feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
But what other feuds were there besides those two? Here, presented for your viewing pleasure, is a list of feuds, great and small, that have graced the world of Hollywood.
Hollywood Feuds Facts
42. Is it Still a Good Thing?
When movie star Gwyneth Paltrow started Goop, her lifestyle business in 2014, it drew the ire of lifestyle figure Martha Stewart. The two took potshots at each other through their brands’ products, with Paltrow mocking Stewart’s jail time and Stewart making a jibe against Paltrow’ strange description of her divorce with Chris Martin.
41. Smell You Later
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air taught the world to love Will Smith… that is, everyone except for his fellow cast member, Janet Hubert-Whitten, who played Vivian Banks. Hubert-Whitten’s feud with Smith became so overbearing that she ended up leaving the show and was replaced by actress Daphne Maxwell Reid. In 2011, Hubert-Whitten was asked if she would ever reunite with her former castmates. She maintained that the hatchet was never going to be buried, even calling Smith an “a-hole”, which might just be the worst thing anyone’s said about Smith before After Earth was released.
40. The Money Wasn’t Good Enough, Apparently
In 2008, Oliver Stone released the film W., a tongue-in-cheek biopic of President George W. Bush. The film featured Richard Dreyfuss as Dick Cheney, but it seemed that Dreyfuss had a pretty bad time on the film. He later disparaged the film, saying that he had only acted in it for the money. Not only that, Dreyfuss denounced Stone as a “fascist” in an interview on The View. They have yet to work together again.
