In the world of celebrity splits, there have been many messy breakups that have captured our attention but some particularly dramatic ones have gotten our fingers tapping on our keyboards to weigh in.
Whether its cheating, harmful accusations or just exes being exes, some celebrity splits have caused fans to be super vocal online. Right now, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s divorce is eliciting that reaction.
Amid many articles accusing Turner of being absent from her kids lives and partying too much, fans have been quick to call out Jonas and his PR team for allegedly spinning a false narrative. This has been a rare and refreshing example of the internet recognizing mom-shaming and misogyny, but its not the only celebrity breakup that set the internet alight!
Here are eight celebrity splits that made the internet take side.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner
The internet was shocked when Joe Jonas filed for divorce from Sophie Turner in September after four years of marriage but they were even more surprised by what followed.
Jonas’s PR team was accused of pushing several negative, mom-shaming narratives about Turner.
If the goal was to make him look better, it has seriously backfired as fans have rallied to call out the misogyny Turner has allegedly been hit with by her ex.
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth
Though supporters were initially heartbroken about Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth divorcing after a lengthy and tumultuos love story, tides quickly changed.
When Cyrus alluded to Hemsworth cheating on her in several songs, fans quickly turned on the Hunger Games actor for not being a stand-up husband to his powerful ex-wife.
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp
The internet ruthlessly turned against Amber Heard during Johnny Depp‘s defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife over her domestic violence allegations against him.
The anti-Heard hate has even been labelled one of the “worst cases of cyberbullying” and domestic violence support groups raised concerns that the victim-shaming Heard faced will negatively impact abuse survivors for years to come.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston won the hearts and sympathies of the world when we watched her marriage to Brad Pitt breakdown in real-time after he very publicly moved on with Angelina Jolie.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
While Kim Kardashian has repeatedly experienced the wrath of the internet, she got plenty of support when her ex, Kanye West, came for her online.
West was accused of emotional abuse when he threatened Kardashian’s new partner, criticized her parenting and slut-shamed her.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner
As one of the most wholesome women in Hollywood, Jennifer Garner deserved all of the support when her 13-year marriage to Ben Affleck ended after allegations that he cheated on her with their nanny.
Affleck is back in the public’s good graces now but, if it came down to it, we’d always choose Garner’s side!
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren
The world was baffled when reports emerged that Elin Nordegren has smashed Tiger Woods‘s car with a golf club after finding out he was cheating on her in 2009.
Now, violence is never the answer but we couldn’t help but empathize with Nordegren when we heard this news!
Brandon Blackstock and Kelly Clarkson
While fans thought Kelly Clarkson had finally gotten the happily ever after she deserved, their initial heartbreak quickly turned to anger after they realized Blackstock was not taking the high-road in this split! #TeamKelly4Ever
