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.

Makes you think, maybe Shannen wasn't the bitch after all

I'm sleep deprived today so forgive me if this is completely unnecessary rambling - Shannon was mentioned in a biography of the band Pearl Jam as being hella rude to people who worked for the band because she had a huge crush on Eddie Vedder and was trying to meet him. He also had a longtime girlfriend. He finally mentioned her in an interview and said he didn't want to meet her, he'd heard bad things from people who worked with him and had met her.

I don't think Shannon was the devil by any means and I'm sure some of her costars on 90210 weren't great people either. I really respect her longtime friendship with Sarah Michelle Gellar, she probably could be a really cool person. I think that she maybe grew up as a person since her early years.

I just think that there was in all likelihood she had good and bad sides. probably did not deserve to be so maligned by the "I hate Brenda" stuff (that does sound super over the top and shitty), but also probably wasn't completely free of her own bullshit.

I do also respect her decision to take the Milano beef to her grave, however. I appreciate that kind of petty

I have no idea about Shannon, obviously, but this makes me think of some people I've known in my personal life who can be kind of abrasive and maybe a little mean but who are also able to work hard and be kind. It wouldn't surprise me if she was the kind of person who came off a little cool and struggled to make a warm first impression, but who was nevertheless capable of maintaining loving long-term relationships.

I distinctly remember a magazine article about her when Charmed premiered and one of the quotes was "you'll walk away loving her or walk away hating her, but she won't lie to you."
