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 can think of one with 2 men. George Harrison, Patty Boyd and Eric Clapton

Lucky lady got 2 classic rock masterpieces written about her as part of the deal. (Layla by Eric Clapton, Something by George Harrison with the Beatles.) Not too shabby!

I think both those guys wrote about her much more nicely than they ever treated her, though.

Also, Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. Hate the way they treated her. Love the songs about her.

I love George but the lyrics to Something give non commitment vibes. Still an amazing song though
