Celebrity BFFs Who Ended Their Friendships: Lauren Conrad and Heidi, More

✇Us Weekly News
By: Johnni Macke

Best friends aren’t always forever — just ask the celebrities who have said goodbye to their famous BFFs for one reason or another.

From Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato growing apart to Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag’s explosive feud on The Hills, not even the biggest stars can make their friendships last forever.

In November 2021, Big Short director Adam McKay revealed that his more than 20-year bond with Will Ferrell went sour in 2019 over a casting decision. “I f***ed up on how I handled that,” McKay admitted to Vanity Fair.

It’s safe to say these bonds can be broken — but they can also be repaired if both parties are willing to let bygones be bygones, which was the case for Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

Scroll down to see why these former celeb besties are no longer pals — and if any have made amends:

Cattrall and Parker costarred on Sex and the City from 1998 to 2004 and later reprised their roles for two movie sequels in 2008 and 2010. During negotiations for a third SATC movie in 2010, Parker claimed Cattrall made requests from the studio that didn’t come through, so the cast decided not to move forward without her. That is when Parker and Cattrall’s rift allegedly began.
In 2017, Cattrall claimed during an interview with Piers Morgan that the two have “never been friends.” Cattrall alleged that Parker “could have been nicer,” during their time on set, claiming, “I don’t know what her problem is.”
The following year, Cattrall slammed Parker after the actress offered condolences to Cattrall after her brother died. “Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend,” Cattrall fired back via social media in 2018. “So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona.”
In response, Parker told Extra in October 2018, “She has felt perfectly comfortable to say lots of things. That’s the beauty of living in a democracy, but I have no apologies, meaning, this isn’t a catfight. This is someone who chose to talk about something, and myself, I remain grateful for her work and the role she played on and off camera for all the years we spent together.”
When Parker revived her SATC character, Carrie Bradshaw, for HBO Max’s And Just Like That sequel series in 2021, Cattrall did not sign on. She did, however, make a cameo during a 2023 episode.

Franco and Rogen met while starring on the 1999 series Freaks and Geeks. They went on to work together on several movies, including Pineapple Express, This Is the End, The Disaster Artist and The Interview.
Their decades-long friendship hit a snag in 2018 when Franco was accused of sexual misconduct by five women, four of whom were his acting students. Franco, who later confessed to sleeping with different students while teaching college courses, settled a sexual misconduct lawsuit with two of the former students in 2021.
After the legal drama simmered down, Rogen told The Sunday Times in 2021, “The truth is that I have not and I do not plan to [work with Franco] right now.” That December, Franco confirmed that their personal and professional relationship had stalled.
In October 2024, Franco gave an update on their dynamic, 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.”

Jenner and Woods were inseparable for years until news broke in February 2019 that Woods was spotted getting cozy with Tristan Thompson. It was later revealed that Woods kissed the NBA player. At the time, Thompson was dating Jenner’s sister Khloé Kardashian and they already shared one child. (Thompson now shares daughter True and son Tatum with Kardashian.)
Kardashian took Thompson back after the scandal, but they called it quits for good in June 2021. Jenner, meanwhile, chose to take a break from Woods following the incident.
“She was very conflicted initially, but after observing all the chaos across the board, she knew she had no choice to step away from the friendship,” a source exclusively told Us in February 2020 of Jenner’s decision.
After three years apart, Jenner reached out to Woods in July 2023 to reconnect. The following year, Jenner revealed during an episode of The Kardashians that she had “a lot more healthy distance in the relationship” with Woods, noting that they talk “once a month.”

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costars' friendship took a turn for the worst after getting into an argument over the PuppyGate scandal in 2018. After the fight, Vanderpump stopped talking to Richards and exited the Bravo series one year later.
In May 2022, the Halloween Kills star got candid about how much she "missed" her former friend while appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “On a scale from one to 10 … two to three,” Richards quipped.

Rumors of an alleged feud between the two actresses began in November 2022 after Gomez said that Taylor Swift was her only friend in the industry.
Raisa — who donated her kidney to the Only Murderers in the Building star in 2017 amid her battle with lupus — expressed her disappointment in being left out and commented "Interesting" on a post that included Gomez's quote and unfollowed her.
Gomez clapped back on a TikTok explaining the drama and said, “Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know."
In July 2023, the pair appeared to be back on track after Gomez wished Raisa a happy birthday via Instagram, calling her a “special human being.” Gomez added, “No matter where life takes us, I love you. ❤️ @franciaraisa."
Three months later, Raisa poked fun at her alleged feud with Gomez by creating sweatshirts that read, “No Beef, Just Salsa.” She later posted a photo with Gomez wearing the cheeky merchandise together.

The Bachelor Nation alums had a falling out after Bristowe took on a role as a mentor following Harrison's exit from the franchise in 2021.
“They offered me the position to come in, and what the Bachelor franchise said [I was there to do] was to mentor Katie,” the former Bachelorette explained during a January 2023 episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. “[They said] I wouldn’t be replacing Chris. Then all these articles started coming out, saying, ‘Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe replacing Chris Harrison.’”
Bristowe said she reached out to the former host about the situation and never heard back. Harrison, for his part, explained his silence on a February 2023 episode of the “Most Dramatic Podcast Ever" with the Dancing With the Stars alum.
“I was the mentor — somewhat of a father figure — where I listened. And I asked questions, and I was all about you and your life, because that was my job and I care. And I took a lot of pride in that and that’s how our relationship started,” he said. “This time, I needed that flip of just the, ‘Hey, how are you? Are you OK?’ Not, ‘Are you OK with me taking the show and you’re irreplaceable.’ And I appreciated those words, but it was just at that time, I didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with all of that.”

The former producing partners, who had been friends since the ‘90s, called it quits on their professional and personal relationship in 2019.
In an interview with Vanity Fair two years later, McKay explained that he thought a casting decision is what hurt their friendship. He cast John C. Reilly in a series about the Lakers over Ferrell — and didn’t let the Stranger Than Fiction star know.
“I f***ed up on how I handled that,” McKay explained in 2021. "[Ferrell] took it as a way deeper hurt than I ever imagined and I tried to reach out to him, and I reminded him of some slights that were thrown my way that were never apologized for.”
He continued, “The whole time it was like I was saying it out loud, ‘Let’s not become an episode of Behind the Music. Don’t let it happen.’ And it happened.”

The heiress and the Freaky Friday star were inseparable until 2006, when Lohan started dating Hilton’s ex, Stavros Niarchos. The frenemies spent years taking shots at each other until June 2017 when it seemed as if the two had made amends.
However, later that year, Hilton threw a bit of shade Lohan’s way, accusing the Parent Trap actress of crashing her infamous 2006 night out with Britney Spears. She did it again in May 2019 after Andy Cohen asked her to list three nice things about Lohan on his talk show Watch What Happens Live. “She’s beyond, lame and embarrassing,” Hilton replied.
Soon after, Lohan fired back at the time through her spokesperson, who told Us Weekly, “Obviously, Paris needs to feel relevant and is desperate for attention.”
The two appeared to be on the road to reconciliation in December 2021, when Hilton congratulated Lohan on her then-recent engagement to Bader Shammas via her podcast.
In January 2022, Hilton confirmed that they were back in good graces. “I just feel that we’re grown-ups now,” Hilton said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. “I’m married [to Carter Reum], she just got engaged. We’re not, like, in high school. I think it was very immature and now everything is all good.”

Holm slammed his ex-friend in September 2017 after it was announced that the race car driver would be the season 22 Bachelor. "Oh, the stories I could tell …" he tweeted. "I stopped being friends with him years ago because he's disgusting."
The two appeared together on Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette in 2012. Maynard picked Holm, while Luyendyk Jr. was the runner-up. However, Maynard and Holm called it quits later that year.

Thiessen told Howard Stern in 2012 that when she first joined the cast of Beverly Hills, 90210 in 1994, “the girls were not very nice to me.” However, after Garth “actually apologized” for her behavior towards her, “Jennie and I became very good friends,” the White Collar actress revealed. 
However, it wasn’t meant to last. Thiessen didn’t go into detail as to what led to their breakup, but she told Stern, “I was the one who was hurt, let’s just say that. I was the one who was hurt.”

What caused the former BFFs to split? "Ken is sick of her cycle of dumping friends when she's with a guy," a source told Us in 2010 of Simpson. "She doesn't care about the world, only herself. All she talks about is men, love, and sex."

Though they've been friends since 1999, a source close to both stars claimed the women had a major falling out in June 2010. "They don't speak," the insider told Us. "I can't tell you exactly why they had the falling out, but Gwyneth can be jealous and competitive."
In April of that same year, the Goop founder hinted that she and the “Material Girl” singer weren’t as close as they once were. When talking to British Vogue about Madonna’s former trainer Tracy Anderson, Paltrow sniped, "Yeah, it's good that [Tracy] doesn't train Madonna anymore. It was too much. She keeps people waiting — it takes up your whole day.”

After being shut out of Charlotte Ronson's private Hollywood party at Chateau Marmont in 2009, Richie reportedly dissed Lohan by ignoring the actress as she walked by her. "Everyone's turned on me," Lohan later told Us.
Five years later, the Simple Life alum opened up about her brief friendship with the Mean Girls star on a 2014 episode of Watch What Happens Live, saying, “[I] haven’t spoken to her in a while,” choosing not to elaborate any further.

After Pratt's violent outbursts got him kicked off The Hills, Jenner opened up about his rift with his former castmate. "Lately, it's hard for me — even as someone who used to be best friends with him — to see what's real and what's not as far as he goes," Jenner explained.
Nine years later, the two came to blows during a 2019 episode of The Hills: New Beginnings.

Gosselin became fast friends with Lindsay Lohan's estranged dad in the Hamptons in July 2009. But their friendship was doomed after Michael began dating Gosselin's ex, reporter Kate Major, later that year. (The couple divorced in 2018 after four years of marriage.)
One year later, Michael accused the Jon & Kate Plus 8 alum of cheating him out of money.
"Jon knows what the deal was. I kept him out of harm's way... and he stabbed me in the back," the amateur boxer told Access in 2010. "When you open your door to somebody and you give them a safe haven and a place to go and then they turn around and bite the hand that feeds or stab you in the back, that doesn't sit well with me."

Though Goreski claims his professional split with Zoe was amicable, a source close to the styling duo says otherwise. "Brad has gotten a little big in the head and Rachel is not happy," a source told Us. As for Zoe? "She's so focused on everything else that he was doing all of the work."
During a July 2021 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Zoe admitted, “I don’t see him,” later adding, “People should be professional. They should.”

The once inseparable BFFs reportedly grew apart when Gomez befriended Swift. When Lovato was asked in January 2010 if they were still close to their Princess Protection Program costar, they shot back coldly: "Ask Taylor."
A decade later, the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer told Harper’s Bazaar that they no longer keep in touch with the Only Murders in the Building actress.
"When you grow up with somebody, you're always going to have love for them. But I'm not friends with her,” Lovato said in April 2020. "I will always have love for her, and I wish everybody nothing but the best."

"All my cast members hate me," Spelling told Ryan Seacrest of her former Beverly Hills, 90210 pals. The problem? Spelling believes the actors — especially Thiessen — disapprove of how she met her husband, Dean McDermott. "She doesn't talk to me anymore," Spelling said.
While a source told Us Weekly in 2016 that the two had ended their 10-year feud, Spelling’s appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race one year later reignited the rumors that the two weren’t on the best of terms.
After a performer paid homage to Thiessen’s 90210 character, Valerie Malone, her former costar Jennie Garth refused to say the Saved by the Bell alum’s name. Spelling then chimed in, "Just say, 'That which we don't speak of.'

Mascara-tears galore! Conrad and Montag's friendship fell apart as the cameras rolled on the set of their smash reality series The Hills. The former roommates and BFFs memorably feuded over Montag's boyfriend-turned-husband Spencer Pratt, along with the infamous accusation from Conrad, that the couple had leaked a sex tape.
In August 2021, Montag accused her former costar of treating her like a “dog,” but also said she feels “so much love” for the designer.
“It didn’t have to go that way,” she said during an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast of their long-running feud. “She chose and wanted it to go that way, and then kept following up with that, and then kept blaming things on me and blaming her [rumored] sex tape on me.”

When Paltrow and Ryder dated Ben Affleck and Matt Damon respectively, the actresses were inseparable in the '90s — until Paltrow reportedly stumbled upon the script for Shakespeare in Love at Ryder's home. Adding salt to the wound, Paltrow won an Oscar for the role she allegedly stole from her BFF.

Influencer Details Being Randomly Punched in the Head in NYC

✇Us Weekly News
By: Kaitlin Simpson

Influencer Kindra Hall had a frightening encounter when out and about in New York City.

“On Wednesday, May 14th, around 10:30am I was punched in the head by a passing stranger,” the author, 44, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, May 22. “I wasn’t going to post this as a reel … but there are a few pieces of the story I hadn’t shared and I think they are important for my UES community and fellow NYers to know.”

In the post, Hall included a clip of surveillance footage from the event which showed her getting punched and knocked down on the ground while on a walk.

“FIRST. I wasn’t on my phone when it happened. I wasn’t distracted,” she continued. “It wasn’t an unsafe hour. I even made note of the guy when I saw him, but it wasn’t until I saw a strange flick in his hand (you can see in the footage) that I realized something wasn’t right.”

Lana Del Rey, More Take a Stand When Their Boundaries Are Crossed

Hall grabbed her phone and recorded the stranger who then threatened to “slit” her throat, according to the footage. The stranger also shared a location where Hall could find him. The motivational speaker then called the police and wanted to file a report. Hall claimed to have issues with the authorities.

“SECOND. The police took [approx] 30 min to arrive and once they did, even after showing the video with the guy shouting threats, acted like it wasn’t a big deal,” she alleged. “I remember saying, ‘So since I’m not bleeding, a punch to the head is ok?!’”

She continued: “THIRD. When I refused to back down and only after I told them I had a headache … They agreed to go to the address the man shouted in the video and MADE ME GO WITH THEM, despite having video footage clearly identifying him.”

Hall added that making her confront her assaulter was a “terrifying” experience. She also claimed that the police did not assist in getting the security footage, that was something she and her husband, Michael, accomplished.

“The cops walked into the nail salon when I pointed out the camera, but said only the owner had access to the footage,” she said. “Michael, my husband, went back later and the salon happily put him in touch with the owner who immediately found the footage and sent it to him. It took five minutes.”

Brynn Questions Whether Her 'RHONY' Costars Believe She Was Assaulted

While the incident was scary for Hall, she expressed how “grateful” she was that it wasn’t “worse.” Hall sustained “some swelling at the point of impact” near her jaw and ear. She also had ”a headache.”

“I’m grateful it was me and not someone who couldn’t take the hit or the fall. I’m hopeful the man gets the help and services he clearly needs. And I’m heartbroken and furious that this is how it is — so much apathy,” she wrote. “Stay safe and stay aware. And if it happens to you, don’t let anyone convince you to let it go. The problem is SO big and SO layered but pretending nothing can be done is not the solution. I ❤️‍🩹 NYC.”

Justin Baldoni's 'Jane the Virgin' Costar Weighs In on Blake Lively Drama

✇Us Weekly News
By: Johnni Macke

Jane the Virgin alum Brett Dier is weighing in on former costar Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal drama with Blake Lively.

“It’s a really intense situation,” Dier, 35, told Fan Mail in an interview published on Thursday, May 22, confessing, “I probably shouldn’t say much, but I’ll say this: I always loved Justin.”

Dier shared that Baldoni, 41, has “always been an amazing friend to me.” He noted, “I’m just hoping everything resolves in time.”

Baldoni and Dier have been friends since they costarred on The CW’s Jane the Virgin from 2014 to 2019. Dier played Gina Rodriguez’s first husband, Michael Cordero, while Baldoni played her character Jane Villanueva’s other romantic love interest, Rafael Solano.

Everything Justin Baldoni's Costars Have Said About Working With Him 

Dier confirmed on Thursday that even though the show ended six years ago, he stays connected with a “good amount” of his former castmates from the series, which he recalled being a “wild ride.”

Although Dier didn’t identify Baldoni — or anyone specific from the cast — as someone he is close with, he previously supported the actor when his movie It Ends With Us hit theaters.

Dier and Yael Grobglas, who played Baldoni’s first wife on Jane the Virgin, went to the theaters together in August 2024 to see the film. “Our genius friend @justinbaldoni made a phenomenal film,” Grobglas, 40, wrote via Instagram at the time. “I cried an embarrassing amount and tried to hide it but probably failed.”

Justin Baldoni Alleges Blake Lively Pushed Cast to 'Shun' Him

She shared a photo with Dier inside the theater after the showing, adding, “I am so proud of you, and I love you friend !!!!”

While Baldoni — who was the director and one of the movie’s stars — received praise from his former castmates, the project has since been a source of contention. Baldoni has been embroiled in a messy legal battle with his It Ends With Us costar Lively, 37, since December 2024 when she filed a sexual harassment complaint against him.

Baldoni has denied all accusations made against him in Lively’s lawsuit, which included accusations of him creating a hostile work environment and causing her “severe emotional distress” while making the film.

Can Either Blake Lively or Justin Baldoni Win Amid Their Legal Battles?

Baldoni later filed his own $400 million lawsuit against the Gossip Girl actress, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloane. He accused the trio of trying to “destroy” him, his team and their respective companies by “disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media.”

Lively and Reynolds, 48, have denied the allegations and filed to dismiss the motion completely.

“The entirety of Mr. Baldoni’s case appears to be based on Mr. Reynolds allegedly privately calling Mr. Baldoni a ‘predator,’ but here is the problem, that is not defamation unless they can show that Mr. Reynolds did not believe that statement to be true,” Reynolds’ attorneys Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson said in a statement shared with Us Weekly in March. “The complaint doesn’t allege that, and just the opposite, the allegations in the complaint suggest that Mr. Reynolds genuinely believes Mr. Baldoni is a predator.”

Justin Baldoni's Wife Loves 'The Man, Husband and Father' He Is Amid Drama

The statement continued, “Mr. Reynolds’ wife has accused Mr. Baldoni — privately and in multiple complaints — of sexual harassment and retaliation, and as pointed out by Mr. Reynolds’ motion, Mr. Baldoni has also openly spoken about his past of mistreating women and pushing the boundaries of consent. Mr. Reynolds has a First Amendment right to express his opinion of Mr. Baldoni, which should be comforting to a group of people who have repeatedly called Ms. Lively and Mr. Reynolds ‘bullies’ and other names over the past year.”

Baldoni’s attorney Bryan Freedman told Us in a statement at the time that Reynolds was allegedly actively involved in the situation “far beyond just being a ‘supportive spouse.’”

Freedman claimed, “Mr. Reynolds was a key player in the scheme, defaming Justin around Hollywood, strong-arming WME into dropping Justin as a client, and trying to destroy Justin’s career however possible. His fingerprints have been all over this smear campaign against Justin and the Wayfarer team since day one.”

Lively and Baldoni’s trial is scheduled for March 9, 2026.
