Whether the fights were between co-stars or once close friends, the shade just kept coming. Let's take a look back at the most intense celebrity feuds of the year.
Blac Chyna vs. Rob Kardashian
Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian's split turned a new level of nasty when the former couple exchanged wild accusations against one another in a heated, NSFW social media war in June. Kardashian shared graphic naked photos of Chyna, accused her of cheating on him multiple times and also accused her of being on drugs. Meanwhile, Chyna took to Snapchat to accuse Kardashian of also cheating on her and being physically abusive. One month later, a judge granted Chyna's request for a temporary restraining order against Kardashian. The two now appear to be keeping it amicable when it comes to their daughter, 1-year-old Dream. In September, the two reached a custody agreement, but Chyna is still suing Kardashian, his mom, Kris Jenner, and his sister, Kim Kardashian West, over the cancellation of E!’s Rob & Chyna.
Dwayne Johnson vs. Tyrese Gibson
The drama between the Fast and Furious co-stars began in September, when Gibson left a comment on Johnson’s Instagram post, asking him not to let a rumored spinoff film starring Johnson’s character, Agent Hobbs, push back the planned release date of Fast 9. The feud escalated one month later, when Gibson called out Johnson on Instagram and slammed his critical and commercial flop, Baywatch. The two then went back and forth throwing shade at each other on Twitter. Although Gibson Instagrammed in November that he was out of the Fast and the Furious franchise if Johnson was in, he later claimed he was "never mad" at Johnson, but still continued to slam him.
Kanye West vs. JAY-Z
The two close friends and collaborators' falling out continued this year, after West publicly called JAY-Z out during an onstage concert rant last November. In July, West reportedly left JAY-Z’s Tidal over a money dispute, but there is hope for those wishing for a Watch the Throne part two. During a Q&A with New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet for T: The New York Times Style Magazine in November, JAY-Z had a few conciliatory words for West, whom he still referred to as his "brother," though he did admit that there's currently tension between them.
Camila Cabello vs. Fifth Harmony
Things turned messy between girl group Fifth Harmony and Camila Cabello pretty quickly after she announced she was leaving the group last December, and the remaining members -- Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei and Dinah Jane -- claimed in a statement that they only learned of her departure through her representatives.In an interview with Billboard in February, Cabello talked about the “intense” split and admitted she hadn’t spoken to her former bandmates. Then in their own Billboard interview in July, Fifth Harmony wasn’t shy about alluding to the bad blood. However, the shadiest moment definitely happened at the MTV Video Music Awards in August, when before their performance of "Angel" and "Down," a a fifth member of the group -- presumably meant to represent Cabello -- fell backwards off the stage. However, the group denied they were slamming Cabello during an interview with Good Morning America.
Kim Cattrall vs. 'Sex and the City' Cast
Rumors have floated around for some time now that Kim Cattrall didn't get along with her Sex and the City cast members, and they were pretty much confirmed this year, after Sarah Jessica Parker announced that there would be no Sex and the City 3 film. The Daily Mail later reported that it was Cattrall's "demands" that put a stop to the project, claiming she insisted that Warner Bros. produce other movies she had in development before signing onto SATC 3. Cattrall denied the report on Twitter. Cattrall then specifically called out Parker during an interview with Piers Morgan for ITV's Life Stories and also said she was never friends with her SATC co-stars, including Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis.
Katy Perry vs. Taylor Swift
The epic Katy Perry vs. Taylor Swift feud continued with the promotion of both their respective albums this year, Perry's Witness and Swift's Reputation. Perry didn't hold back during her "Carpool Karaoke" segment with James Corden in June, addressing the beef head-on. Though Swift stayed silent on Perry's comments about her, she let her actions do the talking, surprisingly announced on June 8 that her entire catalog will return to all streaming services at midnight -- right when Witness dropped. Swift also took thinly veiled digs at Perry in her "Look What You Made Me Do" music video that dropped in August, dressing up very similar to the "Swish Swish" singer in the shade-filled video and gets into a car crash -- a moment that looks very close to the accident in Perry's "Unconditionally" music video. She also pointedly holds a GRAMMY, highlighting that she has 10 accolades, while Perry has zero.
Caitlyn Jenner vs. The Kardashians
Caitlyn Jenner's relationship with the Kardashian family deteriorated after the August release of her memoir, The Secret of My Life, which didn't exactly paint the Kardashians in a positive light. Kris Jenner claimed on Keeping Up With the Kardashians that Caitlyn's stories about her were "all made up." In September, Caitlyn said she hadn't spoken to Kris or Kim since the book's release. Currently, the relationship is showing no signs of repair. The I Am Cait star spoke to students at Cambridge Union in England in November, where amid discussing her 2015 transition and its aftermath, she revealed that she and Kim haven't spoken in "a year."
Drake Bell vs. Josh Peck
The state of the Drake & Josh co-stars' friendship made headlines in June, when Bell made it clear he was upset that he wasn't invited to Peck's wedding to Paige O'Brien. Although Bell wasn't present at the ceremony, Peck's Grandfathered co-star, John Stamos, was, as well as Jason Nash, whom Peck also acted with on Drake & Josh, and Bell made his feelings known in now-deleted, angry tweets. For his part, Peck made it clear that he no longer had a close relationship with Bell during his appearance on the Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss podcast. To solidify that the two had no hard feelings, they later reunited at the MTV VMAs in August.
Justin Bieber vs. Marilyn Manson
One of the most bizarre feuds of the year was between pop star Justin Bieber and goth rocker Marilyn Manson. During an interview with Billboard in September, Manson said he confronted Bieber at a bar when he saw that the "Sorry" singer was selling shirts with Manson's face on the front and Bieber's name on the back, as part of his official Purpose World Tour merchandise. Manson said he got revenge by not showing up to a planned duet between the two at Bieber’s show that he suggested. The "Beautiful People" singer later claimed Bieber apologized to him through text during an appearance on Howard Stern's Sirius XM show. Quoting Bieber’s supposed texts, Manson read, “Honestly, I totally thought we hit it off. My bad. If I was an a**hole, it wasn't my intention.”
