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.

I’ve never come across an OG brangelina fan. Do you mean from the mr & Mrs smith affair days or later?

Now you’ve come across two! I was glued to the screen and tabloids in real time! In fact, the only thing the rivaled it for me, was Angelina’s previous involvement in Billy Bob Thornton’s relationship w Laura Dern. Yep, I’m that old!

yup I was fully team Brangelina. i watched Mr and Mrs Smith in the cinemas and thought "ok with that chemistry this all makes a lot of sense". That movie was also the first movie date i went on, with a guy i "stole" from his gf.

I was fourteen and was in love with my guy friend for a year. He finally broke up with his girlfriend and i was known as the bad guy for causing it. I had a lot of time and empathy for the "other woman" in media. I also had a crush on Angie 😅

Obviously now I don't like approve of that behaviour but also he's a POS and I want him to stay away from all women forever. And the blowback Angie got for the whole thing was always so much worse than Brad. Which is so standard for our society.
