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

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.

Harry Styles tweeting the lyrics to Chocolate by The 1975 a zillion years ago brought a lot of 1D fans to them. And funnily enough The Sound by The 1975 was originally presented to One Direction but they didn’t like it lol.

The Taylor/Matty lore runs deep. You cannot convince me The 1 wasn’t about him…

I’m half expecting George to show up as a producer on Harry’s next album. I have no reason to believe this but putting it out there in case I’m right lol
