"I heard that something unfortunate and humiliating had happened to this person. And my reaction was deep relief and happiness."

Gwyneth and Winona have both stayed pretty silent about their friendship ending, although in 2009 Gwyneth did write about a former "frenemy" in a Goop post that many speculated was Winona: "Back in the day, I had a 'frenemy' who, as it turned out, was pretty hell-bent on taking me down," Gwyneth wrote. "This person really did what they could to hurt me... one day I heard that something unfortunate and humiliating had happened to this person. And my reaction was deep relief and happiness."

Lauren later claimed MTV forced her to attend Heidi and Spencer's wedding in 2008 — even locking her in the basement so she couldn't leave. It seems the pair still aren't on speaking terms to this day.

During a Today appearance the same year, Nicole said the pair "just grew apart" and that it had become "a much bigger thing than it is." The next season of The Simple Life saw the pair largely film separately.

While their fight was messy, by 2007, they had reconciled, with Paris saying, "There was no reason why we were fighting; it was just silly. We believed what other people were saying. ... People are really two-faced in this town, and they were trying to play us against each other. It made me sadder than any breakup with a boyfriend. It was just like the worst feeling ever."

Paris retold this story on Call Her Daddy in 2024, when she and Nicole appeared to promote their new show, Paris & Nicole: The Encore. "It was mostly the media spinning things and creating drama that didn't exist," she said

"It's that combined with — we were in our 20s, we were just so young that we didn't even know how to communicate with each other," Nicole added. "It makes me sad to think about a time without my friend."

But their friendship seemed to wane when the power dynamics shifted as Paris was no longer the It celebrity — and Kim suddenly was, thanks to the launch of her own reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2007.

In 2008, Paris made some unkind comments about Kim, saying her butt was "gross" and like "cottage cheese inside a trash bag" (gotta love those unhinged body standards of the '00s). Although Paris did apologize, her friendship with Kim seemed well and truly over.

In 2011, Kim said, "We don't really talk. ... There comes a point in life where you just grow apart and realize you’re not as similar as you thought."

The two apparently reconnected in 2016 at Kris Jenner's Christmas Party and have been seen together since, seemingly friends once again.

Franco denied the lawsuit's allegations but later did admit to sleeping with students at his now-defunct acting school (who were not involved in the case), calling it "wrong."

The 2018 allegations against James marked the end of his friendship with Seth, despite Seth initially saying he'd continue working with James. In 2021, Seth addressed the matter, saying, "What I can say is that I despise abuse and harassment and I would never cover or conceal the actions of someone doing it, or knowingly put someone in a situation where they were around someone like that."

He added, "I look back to that interview in 2018 where I comment that I would keep working with James, and the truth is that I have not and I do not plan to right now. ... It has changed many things in our relationship and our dynamic."

In 2024, James confirmed the pair were no longer in touch, telling Variety, "I haven’t talked to Seth. I love Seth, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it’s over. And not for lack of trying. I’ve told him how much he’s meant to me."

Their friendship appeared to become strained when Rihanna briefly got back together with Chris Brown in late 2012, and Katy didn't approve. By 2013, Katy allegedly refused to sit next to Rihanna at the Grammys.

In 2014, they both attended a party for Major Lazer and seemed to be getting along, and by 2015, they were besties again.

It's unclear why, but by 2018 their friendship seemed to be on the rocks again. Although they posed together at the Met Gala, there were reports that they were "forced" to do so, and Rihanna — who was hosting that year — apparently excluded Katy from the afterparty. The pair haven't been seen together since, and presumably aren't friends anymore, although neither has officially commented on it.

In 2014, Jay and Beyoncé famously did not attend Kanye's wedding to Kim Kardashian, although Beyoncé did congratulate them on Instagram. Kanye later said he was "hurt" by their absence.

Still, when Jay launched TIDAL in 2015, Kanye was there to endorse and support it. But during a performance in 2016, Kanye publicly called out Jay for not checking on him and his family after Kim was robbed in Paris, saying there would never be a Watch The Throne II and that "our kids ain't never even played together."

Jay seemed to reference his beef with Kanye on his 2017 album 4:44, rapping, "But you got hurt because you did cool by 'Ye / You gave him 20 million without blinkin’ / He gave you 20 minutes on stage, f–k was he thinkin’?" Kanye then claimed TIDAL owed him $3 million.

The following years saw Kanye's mental health struggles and his public persona becoming more and more troubled. Amongst many offensive things he said on social media, Kanye posted an attack on Jay and Beyoncé's youngest two kids seemingly out of nowhere before deleting the post and later saying he felt "bad" and that he "felt like the black sheep" of the family, suggesting that Jay and Beyoncé weren't there when he "needed them."

In January 2026, Kanye took out an ad in the Wall Street Journal apologizing at length "to those I've hurt," which presumably includes Jay-Z (amongst many others), but there haven't been any signs of a friendship renewal yet.

In 2016, after the birth of Louis' son Freddie, Zayn said in an interview that he wished Louis luck but that the pair were "not talking on friend terms." Later that year, when Louis' mother Johannah Deakin died, Louis performed a tribute to her on The X Factor, with his former One Direction bandmates in the audience as support — except Zayn, who was a no show, something that deeply hurt Louis, especially after one of his mother's dying wishes was that he and Zayn would reconcile.

In 2017, Zayn said he and Louis were "civil", but in 2018, Zayn released a song, "Good Years," which many thought was about his struggles in One Direction, and within hours, Louis cryptically tweeted, "Proper confused. What a hypocrite!"

Unfortunately, there have been recent rumors that the pair are fighting once again, and even allegations that they had a "physical altercation." Of course, this is unsubstantiated gossip at this point, and only time will tell how it all pans out.

By 2013, the pair seemed to have reconciled, with Demi sharing they had become closer again after she entered rehab and Selena called her. In 2014, Selena said she regretted not being there for Demi when she was struggling.

But it wasn't long before things became shaky again — later in 2014, Demi unfollowed Selena on Twitter, and said, "I think it's just one of those things where people change and grow apart."

The next year, they appeared to have made up once again, but in 2018 they unfollowed each other on Instagram. In 2020, Demi said she and Selena were "not friends" anymore.

In October 2016, they were photographed on a night out with Serena Williams and Dakota Johnson in one of their last notable public interactions. Karlie posted an enthusiastic birthday message to Taylor on Instagram that December, but there seemed to be no interaction between the pair in the next year. Karlie did wish Taylor happy birthday in December 2017, but it didn't put an end to speculation about what had gone down between the two.

In March 2018, Karlie told The New York Times, "Don't believe everything you read," and later that year she attended Taylor's Reputation tour, posting about how "proud" she was and later telling Vogue that the pair were still "really good friends."

But when Karlie married Joshua Kushner in 2018 and held another wedding in 2019, Taylor attended neither due to "prior commitments" — although Scooter Braun did attend the 2019 event and later was seen hanging out with Karlie not long after he had purchased Taylor's masters.

In 2023, Karlie attended the Eras tour but wasn't seated in the VIP section like other celeb attendees, fueling further speculation about a rift.

Taylor, meanwhile, has never commented about what happened with Karlie or if they're still friends, but many fans, of course, believe some of her lyrics allude to the end of their relationship.

Their friendship seemed to end around the same time Lena broke up with Jack in 2017, causing many to speculate it was because Jack had had an affair with Lorde (one fan even produced an infamous 29-page PowerPoint presentation about it). Jack dismissed the rumors as "dumb heteronormative gossip," and Lorde also said, "Jack and I are not dating."

Lena, meanwhile, said, "I don’t think anything happened between them. I can never know someone else’s life. I have never spoken to Ella about it. We haven’t talked since Jack and I broke up. It was awful, and I couldn’t do anything about it except trust that what he was saying to me was true."

Debbie and Elizabeth stopped speaking and Debbie and Eddie divorced, with Debbie left to raise her two kids Carrie (yes, the Carrie Fisher) and Todd as a single mother. Eddie and Elizabeth married in 1959, but Elizabeth left Eddie for Richard Burton in 1965.

The following year, Debbie and her new husband, Harry Karl, wound up on the same ocean liner as Elizabeth and Richard on a journey to London. Debbie and Elizabeth exchanged notes and decided to have dinner to "get this over with," but according to Debbie, they had a "wonderful evening." She later said Eddie was the "selfish one" in the whole affair, and joked, "If your husband's going to leave you for anyone, it might as well be Elizabeth Taylor."

In the end, Debbie and Elizabeth remained friends until Elizabeth's death in 2011, with Debbie sharing a bit of one of their last conversations: "I said, 'Getting old is really shit.' And she said, 'It certainly is. It certainly is, Debbie.'"
