00:00I saw that look in your eye in my office.
00:02What look?
00:03That judgmental look.
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at 10 celebrity friendship splits that hurt even more than romantic breakups.
00:11I just want to say, I absolutely love Seth Rogen.
00:16Jenny Garth and Tiffany Amber Thiessen.
00:19Walking onto the set of Beverly Hills 90210 in 1994, Tiffany Thiessen didn't exactly get a red carpet welcome.
00:24You know, when Brandon told me you were hard on new people, I didn't take him seriously enough.
00:30You're dangerous.
00:32I think it's the other way around.
00:34The new girl reportedly got cold shoulders and awkward stares from female co-stars, especially Jenny Garth.
00:40But after Garth apologized, the two formed an unexpected deep bond.
00:44Thiessen was a bridesmaid at Garth's wedding, and even witnessed the birth of her first daughter, Luca.
00:48By 2005, the friendship reportedly unraveled.
00:50Meanwhile, Thiessen's close friend, Tori Spelling, claimed Thiessen doesn't talk to her anymore.
00:55A later RuPaul's Drag Race appearance seemed to subtly reignite tensions, when Garth avoided saying Thiessen's name during a tribute.
01:01As, how do you say it?
01:04Bethany.
01:05Just say that which we don't speak of.
01:06Yes.
01:07They've been photographed together since 2023, but whether the friendship is truly healed remains unclear.
01:12I caught Valerie in a lie.
01:14Well, maybe you did, but what's the point?
01:16Let it go.
01:1750 Cent and Floyd Mayweather.
01:19Few celebrity friendships have imploded quite like rapper 50 Cent and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather's.
01:24In the early 2000s, they were inseparable, attending each other's major career moments, including Mayweather's lavish 30th birthday party.
01:33They later launched Mayweather Productions in 2011.
01:36But in 2012, a $2 million unpaid debt set off a decade-long public war.
01:41Social media became their battlefield, with 50 publicly questioning Mayweather's literacy and challenging him to read Harry Potter for charity.
01:47Mayweather fired back, attacking 50's relationship with his son and claiming 50 at herpes.
01:52Comedian Monique tried to play Peacemaker in 2021, but did it really fix anything?
01:57I ain't never been good.
01:58I wasn't raised that way.
01:59Their relationship today is cordial, but distant, and the world mostly remembers their messy feud.
02:04Hey, 50, did you and Floyd get into a fight or a shoving match before?
02:08Yeah, yeah.
02:09Who won that?
02:10I won every time.
02:11Jennifer Aniston and Chelsea Handler.
02:13Onto the bright lights of Chelsea lately, Jennifer Aniston and Chelsea Handler's friendship kicked off.
02:17This onstage spark blossomed into real-life chemistry, and by the late 2000s, they were basically glued together.
02:23Vacations, red carpets, and photo ops everywhere.
02:26All right, calm down.
02:28But around 2017, whispers of tension emerged.
02:32According to reports, Handler's public commentary during Jen's divorce from Justin Theroux allegedly crossed Jen's privacy lines.
02:38Other reports hinted at awkwardness when Aniston reconnected with her first husband, Brad Pitt, though Handler insisted there was no feud.
02:45I think I read it that you said that being friends with Jen Aniston is, what, hard?
02:49I was joking.
02:50I was saying it's a burden to constantly be asked about her.
02:53Did Chelsea really cross the line, or were the tabloids just having a field day?
02:56It's still unclear, especially since Jennifer even invited her to her 50th birthday.
03:00Ultimately, the friendship may not have ended, but honestly, it was never quite the same again.
03:04Your just love and generosity just pours out of you.
03:08Well, I appreciate you telling that story on my television show.
03:11Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
03:13When it comes to celebrity frenemies, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan didn't just set the bar.
03:18They turned it into a full-blown 2000s spectacle.
03:20As Hollywood's reigning IT girls, they bonded over late-night partying and non-stop paparazzi, until jealousy allegedly crept in.
03:28Paris, say three nice things about Lindsay Lohan.
03:32The fallout exploded in 2006, when Lohan was reportedly linked to Hilton's ex, Stavros Nyarkos.
03:47This led to leaked videos, nightclub insults, and public slurs.
03:51I don't have something nice to say, I don't say anything at all.
03:54What followed was a messy loop of shade, denials, alleged prank calls, drink-throwing claims, and awkward reconciliations that never seemed to stick.
04:01I'm not here to talk about Paris.
04:02I know.
04:03If there was ever a genuine friendship here, didn't all that drama pretty much torch it?
04:07Sure, they've reunited lately and labeled their past behavior as immature, but the damage was already done.
04:12Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez.
04:13If there was any celebrity friendship we secretly wished wouldn't fade, it was Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez's.
04:19And this is my best friend in the entire world.
04:22This is my best friend.
04:23Ever since we were seven years old.
04:24Honestly, they started so pure, meeting as kids on Barney and Friends, and just clicking.
04:29They became inseparable, eating lunch together, and bonding in ways other child actors couldn't.
04:34Their Disney years were golden, co-starring in Princess Protection Program, making vlogs, and supporting each other's music.
04:40Through the world and the fame, we're anything but ordinary.
04:46But cracks appeared in 2010, when Lovato deflected questions about Gomez to Taylor Swift, sparking the first public tension.
04:53Over the years, it was alleged that Gomez wasn't always there for Lovato during her struggles, and in 2014, Lovato unfollowed her on Instagram.
05:00I think it's just one of those things where people change and people grow apart.
05:08By 2020, Lovato confirmed they weren't friends anymore.
05:11No feuds, no drama, just heartbreaking distance.
05:14Whatever happened to BFFs?
05:15This is a night I'll always remember.
05:19I hope so.
05:22Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker.
05:24Samantha and Carrie lit up sex in this city as the best of friends.
05:28Bold, glamorous, and untouchable.
05:30What's your age ceiling with men?
05:33Fifty?
05:34Factor in millions and millions of dollars.
05:36Fifty?
05:38Well, I just met the cutest older man.
05:41How old?
05:43Fifty?
05:45Sixty?
05:48Sweetie, is he on Medicare?
05:49Behind the scenes, however, Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker's real-life friendship was anything but sparkling.
05:55Tensions reportedly started during the show's run, with pay disparities and contract disputes.
06:00And I cannot believe that you would judge me after everything that we've been through.
06:06By 2017, when the third Sex in the City movie fell apart, Cattrall publicly called Parker toxic and insisted they were never friends.
06:14The feud turned painfully personal in 2018 after Cattrall's brother Christopher died.
06:18Parker offered condolences and Cattrall demanded she stop reaching out.
06:22Meanwhile, Parker maintained she never fought back.
06:24In the end, we can't help but ask, was there any real friendship, or was it just in our heads?
06:29Either way, good acting.
06:30Hey, I don't need therapy, I need new friends.
06:33Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.
06:35It would seem every friendship has a deal-breaker, and that was the case for Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow's connection.
06:40So you have a pint of Guinness with Madonna occasionally?
06:42Yeah.
06:44Yeah, but I go to her local.
06:46They became acquainted in the late 90s, bonding over Kabbalah, yoga, and wellness culture.
06:51Even sharing celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, Madonna reportedly helped Paltrow through postpartum depression.
06:57Paltrow, in turn, praised Madonna as fascinating and powerful.
07:00But paradise cracked a few years after the birth of Paltrow's son, Moses.
07:04According to Amy O'Dell's biography, Madonna allegedly showed up unannounced while Gwyneth and her ex-husband were vacationing on an island.
07:11She then insisted they join a large group dinner, and embarrassed her daughter, Lourdes, in front of everyone.
07:20Disgusted, Paltrow reportedly ended their friendship.
07:23Neither has publicly spoken about the fallout, but their friendship quietly evaporated.
07:27Well then I quit.
07:29Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
07:30It's hard enough to maintain a friendship.
07:32But when one man is the most powerful in the world, and the other the richest, chaos is almost guaranteed.
07:38I'm not just MAGA.
07:39I'm dark, gothic MAGA.
07:42Donald Trump and Elon Musk spent 2024 locked in a full-on power bromance.
07:47Musk donated serious money to Trump's campaign, and even landed a top role running the Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE.
07:54Thank you Elon.
07:55You're working very hard.
07:56He didn't need this.
07:58He didn't need this.
07:59For a moment, it was all bliss and back-slapping.
08:02Until mid-2025, Musk publicly criticized Trump's spending agenda, and suddenly, a fierce feud erupted.
08:08Social media jabs, public shade, and bruised egos everywhere.
08:12Look, Elon and I had a great relationship.
08:16I don't know if we will anymore.
08:18The surprise ceasefire came at Charlie Kirk's funeral, where they were spotted talking quietly.
08:22By early 2026, a Mar-a-Lago dinner confirmed the truce.
08:26Friendship healed?
08:27Maybe.
08:27Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself.
08:29James Franco and Seth Rogen.
08:31From the set of Freaks and Geeks, James Franco and Seth Rogen clicked instantly, forming an almost unbreakable bond.
08:37You know that Molly Hatchett shirt I was wearing the other day?
08:40I know the one with the executioner guy holding that bloody axe under his foot with a severed head?
08:45Yeah.
08:47That's my shirt.
08:48Over two decades, they became comedy's ultimate duo, starring in hits like Pineapple Express and The Interview.
08:54Lovely room.
08:55Yeah.
08:55Oh, yes.
08:56Lovely room.
08:56I'm gonna go take a shower now.
08:58Okay, I'll take one with you.
09:00Their on-screen and off-screen chemistry was nothing short of electric, with Franco describing Rogen as his closest collaborator.
09:06But in 2018, allegations of sexual misconduct against Franco threw everything into turmoil.
09:11Initially, Rogen tried to stand by his friend, but as the severity became clear, he realized he couldn't ignore it.
09:16By 2021, Rogen dropped Franco completely.
09:19When Franco confirmed in 2024 that the friendship was over, Rogen's response was quiet, but telling.
09:24In the end, he chose his conscience over loyalty.
09:27And honestly, who wouldn't?
09:28B-F-F-F.
09:30Best f***ing friends forever, man.
09:31Seriously.
09:32Before we get to our final entry, here are a few dishonorable mentions.
09:36Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag.
09:38Heidi moved out of her shared apartment with Lauren.
09:40We just saw her on such different paths at this point.
09:42Ashley Tisdale and Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore.
09:45The high school musical star alleged she was being iced out by the group.
09:48It's just so crazy because I can literally count 10 people that are like my friends that have babies.
09:54Joan Rivers and Johnny Carson.
09:55Their mentor-protege friendship ended in disappointment.
09:58He literally had me blacklisted.
10:01And to this day, I have not been on NBC late night ever.
10:04Drake Bell and Josh Peck.
10:06Peck reportedly didn't invite his on-screen pal to his wedding.
10:09I mean, I've only known the guy 20 years.

10:26Kanye West and Jay-Z
10:28Kanye West and Jay-Z literally turned friendship into brotherhood.
10:31They met in 2000, when West was an aspiring producer working on Jay-Z's The Blueprint.
10:36He's like, yo, play the next beat, play the next beat.
10:38I'll play another beat.
10:40He's just sort of like, yo, man, you a soulful dude.
10:42From there, the vibe began as his debut, the college dropout, cemented Jay-Z as his mentor.
10:47Over the years, their collaboration peaked with the iconic Grammy-winning Watch the Throne album and tour.
10:54But as with any high-profile bond, cracks appeared.
10:58Missed weddings, public confrontations, and feuds over family and finances made headlines.
11:03West even reportedly lashed out after personal tragedies, while Jay-Z fired back with a diss track.
11:12Complicated? Messy?
11:14Definitely their friendship took a hit.
11:15Yet despite the rollercoaster of betrayals and bruised egos, they still find their way back, undeniably brotherly.
11:25Which of these celebrity friendships ended in the worst way?
11:28Let us know in the comments section.
11:33Bye.
11:33Bye.
11:33Bye.
11:50Bye.
11:59Bye.
