10 Most Toxic Hollywood Relationships Ever

When it comes to relationships, we all love to say, “Only the couple really knows what’s going on.” True, but sometimes, you absolutely can tell something stinks. And when you add fame, ego, and a 24/7 gossip machine to the mix, that stench can turn into “disaster” very quickly.

Celebrity romances can be fun to follow, but some couples get more of a “Holy heck! Are they for real?” type of reaction than “aww, they’re so adorable.” Some relationships ended in courtrooms, some on tabloid covers, and some in songs and tell-all interviews.

Was it worth it? Here’s a quick rundown of Hollywood’s most toxic relationships.

Over seven years of legal battles, there were accusations of problem drinking, abuse, and money drama. They went from red carpet royalty to a very expensive, very public example of what not to do in a relationship.
