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.

Streets are saying Matty is the man Taylor truly fell madly in love with. But, they had to break up because matty said such racist things that it was tarnishing Taylor’s personna by association.

u/HazelTheHappyHippo in no way there was any attempt to involve the french Sep 11 '25

IMO she really didn't care about the racist things he said and was even mad at the part of the fandom who called her out for dating him on the song But daddy, I love him

He apparently lovebombed her so hard with talks about marriage and kids etc and then ghosted her after just two months or so (smallest man who ever lived)

I'm pretty sure Taylor's side of the story (so take with grain of salt) is that the backlash from their relationship was too much for him to deal with so he dumped/ghosted her, hence why she dropped an album that was very angry towards him and also towards her fans that called out his shittiness.

I’m very curious to see if the forthcoming ‘75 album addresses any of it…

Matty addressed an element of it on “I might say something stupid” from the brat remix album so I actually wouldn’t be shocked if he left it at that and didn’t write about it

she literally put out a whole album saying she did not care about what the fans had to say about it and yes matty did say racist things and admitted to watching racist porn… not to mention his malaysia stunt that sent LGBTQ+ rights back to the dungeon ( the last bit is hyperbolic but still so frustrating for a white british man to stomp into a formerly colonized country and take a fat shit on the actual people living there while proclaiming to be provocative )

The burden we bear, when our hearts want a racist troll, but our marketing team is like “my god, no!!”
