25 Of The Wildest Things Celebrities Have Been Seen Doing Post-Breakup

Breakups are painful and nobody likes seeing others wallowing in pain. But the human experience is such that at the same time, we also want to feel validated that what we are going through is totally normal. Breakups are usually something that strike hard, no matter how unemotional you may want to be. Our reactions tend to be abnormal during the grieving period right after a break up. Since our nervous-systems have gotten overwhelmed, acting out in rash ways that seem out of character are not unusual during this time.  No one is immune to the chaos breakups bring to one’s life. Even celebrities. Everyone goes through the gamut of emotional turmoil that is inevitably part and parcel of the deterioration of a relationship. Being in the public eye means that some of these extreme reactions to breakups happen to have an avid audience. Scroll below to check out some of the most intense displays of upheaval caused by a heartbreak that famous people have been spotted showing. Remember, if you’re going through something similar, allow yourself space and time to heal from one of the biggest emotional triggers still known to mankind, because we are all only human after all.  More info: Reddit 1 | Reddit 2

Image source: goshdarnkaren, TheEllenShow Not sure of the timeline of this incident in regards to their breakup, but I decided I was done with Russell Brand when he Tweeted that pic of Katy Perry without makeup after having startled her awake. He also texted her that he wanted a divorce when she was prepping to go on stage for a concert. And now the things he's done have made those seem super insignificant, but I definitely started avoiding anything of his after that tweet.

Image source: SuccessOk7850, TheEllenShow As a OG Swiftie, I have to say when Taylor was promoting “fearless” after her breakup with Joe Jonas and said on Ellen’s show “When I find the right guy I’m not even going to remember the boy who broke up with me in a 25 second phone call when I was 18” had to be a pretty funny moment when I was a kid because she was brutally honest and then she actually said it was 27 seconds. It’s been 17 years and I wonder what was said in that 27 second phone call?. buzzfeed_sucks: She used to also make YouTube videos at the time, BTS stuff. She held up a Joe doll and a doll of her and goes “see, he comes with a phone so he can break up with other dolls. Stay away from him.” She was so messy lmao. echoesandripples: People who got mad she staged a pap walk to look hot after a breakup and then her friends unfollowed her ex would never be able to handle the wrath of young Taylor about Joe Jonas What made me a Swiftie was the YouTube joke about the doll having a phone to break up with the other dolls.
