The only thing more intense than a Hollywood divorce is a bestie breakup. Maybe itâs the lack of money, kids, and property involved. They donât hold back when theyâve got nothing lose. Whatever the reason, many stars arenât afraid to burn a friendship bridge.
Losing friends is an unfortunate part of life for everyone. But for celebrity friendships, the feuding parties are losing some of the few people in their lives who genuinely understand the extremely strange and surreal experience that they share: being admired and judged worldwide by people who donât even know them.
These days, it seems apropos that BFF is so close to âbeefâ. For some of the former celebrity BFFs on this list, their issues have been marinating for years. Sometimes they stew in silence until something triggers them to boil over. Other famous friends like to keep the drama fresh and public.
With the advent of social media, a great many of these bestie breakups played out on Twitter or Instagram, giving fans front row seats to every sling of mud or toss of shade.
