There is nothing more awkward than watching someone pick a fight with a person who doesn't even know they're in one. While some celebrity feuds are legendary battles between icons, others are just embarrassing to watch.
From decades-long grudges to obsessive fan accounts, these celebrities spent a lot of energy attacking stars who remained completely unbothered.
Here are 15 times famous people tried to start drama only to realize they were the only ones actually participating.
#1 Club Chalamet vs. Kylie Jenner
Club Chalamet, an LA-based fan account run by Simone Cromer, became infamous in 2023 for a one-sided campaign against Kylie Jenner. After TimothĂ©e Chalametâs romance with the beauty mogul went public, Cromer obsessively posted about the Dune star while conspicuously avoiding naming Jenner.During a viral Twitter Spaces rant, she repeatedly questioned the relationshipâs legitimacy, even suggesting that the actor was blackmailed into the pairing.Cromer has been frequently blaming the unnamed girlfriend for any professional setbacks. For instance, after Chalamet lost an Oscar in 2025 for the Best Actor award for A Complete Unknown.Surprisingly, Cromer claimed the âguestâ he brought âdid not complement his attendance.âWhile Jenner remains completely unbothered, the internet, however, turned the account into a meme about parasocial fandom.Even Vanity Fair joked, âClub Chalamet, our heart goes out to you,â prompting a defiant reply from Cromer, âIâm always here for TimothĂ©e. Always!â

The singer invited the media personality to dance onstage; however, she froze and awkwardly clapped instead.Years later, the late music icon guest-starred on New Girl, where a party scene originally included a cameo from members of the Kardashian family.According to Zooey Deschanel, Prince was so against having a Kardashian on the episode that his team literally burned the scripts mentioning them.ââWho are the celebrities? I hope itâs not a Kardashian,â shared Deschanel during an appearance on Conan in 2016.Despite the shade, the Kardashians never publicly responded.

In the late â80s and early â90s, Cher took a blunt swipe at Madonna during the height of the pop iconâs controversy. She dismissed her as ânot unbelievably talentedâ and branded her simply as ârude,â despite acknowledging her creativity.The comments stood out, especially coming from another trailblazing female artist who understood what it meant to challenge norms.Madonna, however, never seemed to take the bait. While other stars publicly critiqued her provocative image, she kept pushing boundaries, letting her music, tours, and cultural impact do the talking instead of engaging in a war of words.Years later, Cher herself softened her stance, finally admitting in 2023 that Madonna had an unmatched instinct for staying ahead of the curve.

The one-sided beef between Taylor Swift and Charli XCX began when the latter dropped Sympathy Is a Knife in 2024, a song about feeling small next to a bigger female artist.

Swifties were quick to point out lyrics that felt like a sharp jab back.The lyrics read, âI heard you call me âBoring Barbieâ when the cokeâs got you brave.âLater, Swift fueled the speculation by describing the song as being about a âone-sided, adversarial relationshipâ she had realized was happening behind her back. While XCX has kept things chill, Swiftâs lyrics suggested sheâs the one still holding the grudge.
