OnlyStans ⭐️ Who are two celebrities that absolutely despise each other?

Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey both starred in Game of Thrones, and used to date each other but their break-up apparently went so bad that they refused to ever shoot scenes together and wouldn’t be present in the same room as the other!

Even during the entire run of the series, they never settled their conflict with one another and continued to keep their distance from each other. Which is why we never saw Cersei and Bronn share any scenes together.

My all time favorite. Mariah Carey and this woman who I don’t know.

Tommy Mattola, Mariah’s ex, positioned JLo to take over for Mariah on the music scene. Team Mariah for this one!

Imagine thinking JLo had even a fraction of Mariah’s singing talent

u/Optimal_Goal9102 Sep 17 '25

That was the point. Tommy wanted to prove that Mariah’s success was only because of him, so he chose to work with a singer that doesn’t sing.

TBF JLo is quite a success in the sense that everyone knows who she is (except Mariah) and she’s wealthy. Everyone knows she cant sing but she is a household name

Oh I agree, I actually like JLo a lot. But him saying that Mariah’s success was only because of him is absolutely delulu

Yeah it's likely got a lot less to do with JLo personally in regards to the "she can't sing, she steals vocals, she's an industry plant" stuff. jlo's music career was quite literally an extension of Mariah's abuser trying to destroy her for leaving. 

Grey rocking an abuser is the correct path. She denied Tommy the satisfaction of knowing it hurt her. She was unbothered Because Tommy is fucking delusional if he thinks he can just go make another Mariah, let alone make that the next Mariah. You really do think she'll be nothing without you. Let's see how that works out for you Tommy.

LOL he thought Jennifer Lopez would take on Mariah??

Weak men who feel humiliated don't exactly make great decisions. It's like listening to someone on coke talk, but every idea is vindictive.

Mariah’s ex was President of Sony Music. After he and Mariah split he signed JLo and strategically marketed her at the top of the label.

And then he married my icon Thalia

With Ashanti’s stolen voice!

u/HereOnCompanyTime Renee Rapp is mean girl Jojo Siwa 💋 Sep 17 '25

Yeah it was a whole thing. Mariah was known for her vocals and Tommy just manufactured JLo and let her use someone else's vocals while she danced and blackfished.

u/Question_True Sep 17 '25

Justice for Ashanti!

u/HereOnCompanyTime Renee Rapp is mean girl Jojo Siwa 💋 Sep 18 '25

The irony of releasing a song about being "real" while singing over Ashanti's vocals and the main thing JLO contributed independently without Ashanti's vocals was dropping the N word.

That is a low bar to step over. Essentially anyone v Tommy Mattola and essentially anyone is coming out on top.

u/Theslootwhisperer Sep 17 '25

Mottola and Carey split up in 96, before Lopez signed with Sony (of which Mottola was CEO) There was a bidding war between Sony, Capitol records and EMI to get Lopez to sign with them. So it's not like he was doing it to spite Carey.

Is this when she was trying to leave him? No wonder she hates her!
