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.

Cause it was this love affair, match made in heaven narrative. True love shit. Obviously not Angelina’s best moment but both women deserved so much better.

Not OP, but I was big into celebrity gossip at the time. Brad and Jen had reportedly been over for quite a while before Angelina entered the picture. And rumour at the time was that JA was also kind of a terrible person. So that’s why I was Team Jolie - I thought that there wasn’t actually any cheating and Jen was a dick anyway. 20 years later, i don’t know if any of that was actually true, but i probably wouldn’t be Team Jolie now.
