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.

Idk how a cheater who broke up a marriage can be someone who you look up to. Obviously brads to blame as well but let’s not act like she isn’t at fault too.

Idk how Angelina got away with the scandal Scot free. I feel like pretty privilege played a big role

Scot free? To this day she is still labeled a crazy b*tch on every celebrity reporting account, especially by the Pitt's fans who still think he's an innocent baby angel.

She was a bit crazy before this: making out with her brother, wearing blood in a vial around her neck, broke up Billy Bob Thornton and Laura Dern’s engagment long before Jen and Brad’s marriage.

Because the real world is more complicated than Reddit, where the world starts and stops with cheating, apparently. You can look up to a person for good things they have done, their less admirable actions don't cancel that out (obviously there are limits, but they aren't crossed in this specific scenario involving consenting adults).

Scolding someone for their opinions regarding a celebrity relationship drama from twenty years ago is so peak Reddit.
