Things have been taking a wicked turn for Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater’s relationship this past year, with fans being very vocal about their opinions.
The two were both married to their respective spouses when they started filming Wicked back in December of 2022.
However, seven months later, rumors swirled that Grande had split from her husband Dalton Gomez when she was seen without her wedding ring. Just days later, her alleged relationship with Slater made headlines.
The latter subsequently filed for divorce from his wife and high-school sweetheart, who he’d been seeing since 2018.
Fans were enraged, calling the Thank U, Next singer a “homewrecker,” and the one responsible for destroying Slater’s family.
In late February, Grande addressed a few of these comments, saying, “The thing is, we know this about the tabloids and about the media. Am I crazy? Don’t we know this?
“We selectively remember that this is what the tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether or not we like the person.”

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox have certainly been the talk of a lot of drama this year.
Back in early December, during Thanksgiving weekend, TMZ reported the two had parted ways because “Megan found material on MGK’s phone that was upsetting, and it made her want him to leave the trip early.”
To dive even deeper into the juice, an insider revealed to Page Six that Megan grew “suspicious” during their vacation and “decided to go through his phone. [She] found text messages involving other women and decided she was done.”
According to Cosmopolitan, the rapper allegedly denied the cheating rumors while requesting to be present for the birth of his child to the Transformers star — a question that left the 38-year-old “fuming.”

Offset created a stir during Cardi B’s Instagram Live back in late September with a bold cheating accusation, writing, “U f–cked with a baby inside tell the truth !!”
When the WAP singer later tweeted, “AND DID !!!!!!” many fans were confused, thinking it was a response to her estranged husband’s comment.
Until, of course, she made sure to set the record straight, as reported by Billboard.
During her attendance at Paris Fashion Week, Cardi B once again took to the social media platform to blast the rumors out her way as she said, “I’m too much woman for you. I’m too much of a boss b–tch for you.
And I always been too good for you… I don’t make you feel like you’re that n–gga in this home. I make you look good.”

The Espresso singer and Barry Keoghan have decided to “take a break” after a year-long relationship, and the simple statement has caused people to go wild as they point fingers — specifically at the latter.
Some internet sleuths “snooped around” and said Keoghan had messed around with TikToker Breckie Hill, who added to the fuel of these claims by ignoring all the comments accusing her of the incident, as reported by The Mirror.
Neither party has explicitly confirmed or denied these statements, but the highly scrutinized former couple had their own words on what happened.
“It’s challenging when personal issues become public fodder,” Carpenter said during an interview. “There are two people in a relationship, and only they truly understand what went on.”
Additionally, Keoghan has responded to the excessive hate — regarding the people who have been knocking on his grandmother’s door and sitting outside his son’s house in an attempt to intimidate him, according to the statement.
“I can only sit and take so much,” he wrote on X. “My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don’t respond [to].”

Lead singer of the Foo Fighters Dave Grohl isn’t trying to hide his truth.
Back in September, the musician announced on Instagram that he had welcomed a child with a woman who wasn’t his wife.
“I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,” he wrote. “I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”
But it appears his spouse Jordyn Blum knew about the affair long before Dave outed himself.
“Dave’s flirty behavior has been a hurdle in their marriage,” an insider told People. “It’s been hurtful to Jordyn.”
Although she hasn’t yet made a public statement, she was photographed in September without her engagement ring.

Martha Stewart does not care what other people think or say about her affair that happened decades ago.
As the well-known businesswoman spoke at a launch party for her 100th book in Manhattan, New York, her friend mentioned her “extramarital affair” that was revealed in the trailer for her Netflix documentary series Martha.
“If you’re looking for ideas [for another book], maybe you could talk about how you [had] an affair that happened 30 years ago and you kept it a secret, how is that possible?”
Stewart had a short and sweet answer: “Very easy, you have to be circumspect.”

The Hands To Myself singer had a special milestone to celebrate on December 11 when she became engaged to boyfriend Benny Blanco.
But back in September, fans had questioned whether or not she was staying loyal in her relationship.
A video of Selena Gomez “grinding” against her Emilia Pérez co-star Édgar Ramírez circulated on social media while she was having fun at Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N Sweet tour at Madison Square Garden.
It was most likely a simple, in-the-moment interaction, but some netizens appear to think otherwise.

“A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people,” an insider close to Foster said. “Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”
One viewer on Facebook labeled the entire interaction as a “sad” occurrence.
“Thought he was better than that,” they penned.
