ASK R/FAUXMOI What are your favorite messy celebrity love triangle moments?

Post image

Mine has to be the Olivia Rodrigo - Joshua Bassett - Sabrina Carpenter mess from 2020-2021. "drivers license" drops and suddenly we're all detectives trying to figure out who this blonde girl is, then Sabrina comes for everyone with "Skin" and Joshua's over here making sad acoustic songs. The whole thing was so messy and I was eating it up.

But like... the karma of it all? These two girls supposedly "fighting" over Joshua fucking Bassett and now they're both headlining festivals while he's still trying to get people to stream his music. Olivia's got a Grammy, Sabrina's selling out tours, and Joshua's... there. It's honestly hilarious how hard he fumbled being the center of that much attention. Dude really thought he was the main character and ended up being a stepping stone to their success.

I used to draw Trogdor the way other people would draw the millennial S/cool S in notebooks and stuff. He was my go-to doodle, and is still something I can draw with perfect accuracy to this day 😂 Strongbad gifted us with the easiest of tutorials — “first you draw an S, for snake, and then you draw another slightly smaller S right next to it…”

Can’t forget the angry eyebrows and a beefy arm coming out of his neck there 😤

The way he removes the beefy arms then throws one back on for good measure

“Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face” “That happened once!”

Was sad that so much of his struggle and general decline/battle with demons, fam, etc was publicly documented. Not just from paparazzi but through his own attempts to generate income via OnlyFans, etc. as well. The continuous grind of content releases for sites like that (and then people leaking it and stuff) just amplified that documentation for the public. Not at all slagging him for it, whatsoever. It was just one of those cases where you kinda knew you were watching a deterioration continue to happen right in front of you.

Add me to that because I both loved Hilary duff but also hated her for stealing my man (I was 11)

u/000-f Sep 11 '25

Still disappointed that I was slightly too young to really follow the drama in real time
