1. Selena Gomez

Selena has called out her ex, Justin Bieber, ​on more than one occasion, so let's go in order.

November 2013

The first time came in 2013 when the on-and-off again couple were ​off​. On November 26th, Justin dropped a teaser for his "All That Matters" video, in which he makes out with a model that's ​not​ Selena. Three days later, Selena posted this gorgeous no makeup selfie to Instagram with the caption, "I thought he only liked the Latina category. Smh... #nomakeup #hatewhengirlssaythat ?​."

Some fans thought Sel's caption was directed at Justin, and the model from the vid, Cailin Russo​, agreed. "It was clearly directed at him with me in the video, but... I was just doing my job," Cailin told Cosmopolitan.com about the whole controversy.

​August 2016

The second time Sel called out the Biebs came after he blasted his fans for hating on his new bae, Sofia Richie, and threatened to quit the site in the caption of an Instagram pic on August 14th. Selena called him out for not appreciating his fans in the comments.

2. Justin Bieber

Justin didn't appreciate Selena cosigning Beliebers' belief that he didn't care about them in his Insta comments and responded by accusing her of using him for attention.

Although it's doubtful Selena was trying to use him for attention (she prob just called him out in the heat of the moment because she hated seeing pictures of her ex with a new girl all over her feed), Selena ended up apologizing, admitting what she posted was "selfish and pointless."

3. Calvin Harris

After Taylor Swift's team confirmed rumors that she wrote Calvin's hit "This is What You Came For", Calvin blasted the move on Twitter, explaining that Team Swift didn't give the whole story and was just trying to make him look bad.

Then things got personal: Calvin accused Taylor of trying to "bury" him like she did Katy Perry and told her to focus on her new relationship with Tom Hiddleston if she was happy (complinsult of the year).

4. Jai Brooks

Ariana Grande was in a long-term relationship with the Aussie YouTube star until they broke up in late 2013 amid rumors that Ariana was cheating on him with her Almost is Never Enough" collaborator, Nathan Sykes. Jai didn't hold his tongue post-breakup and slammed Ariana in an EPIC Twitlonger confirming the rumors that Ari cheated — well, at least Jai ​believed​ she did.

5. Ariana Grande

You didn't think Ariana Grande — the flawless, powerful, feminist icon she is — would let Jai lay into her like that, did you?

The pop star fired back in her own Twitter rant, saying Jai was just desperate for her to take him back and accusing him of threatening to embarrass her in the press if she didn't.

6. Iggy Azalea

Despite leaked video footage of Nick Young appearing to admit he cheated on her, Iggy stayed with her former fiancé. But three months later, the couple called off their engagement. Iggy put Nick's cheating ways on blast soon after, explaining on Twitter that she caught him cheating on her in their home.

SMH.

7. James McVey

The Vamps guitarist James McVey had the unpleasant experience of being reminded that his former girlfriend Kirstie Brittain (maybe?) cheated on him when fans began tagging him in a picture that appeared to show her kissing another guy.

James asked fans to please stop tagging him in the pic (because who wants to see their ex kissing another person?) and vented on Twitter about how there was no trust or loyalty in his former relationship.

8. Chris Zylka​

​

​The Amazing Spider-Man​ actor dated ​Lucy Hale for a year back in 2012. They seemed totally in love, but things didn't work out, and when they split, he didn't have very nice things to say about the Pretty Little Liars​ star.

When a fan asked him about Lucy on Twitter, Chris dissed the actress majorly, saying she dumped him because she thought she was too good for him. He took a dig at her talent too, writing, "There's a difference between celebrities and movie stars. Celebrities fade away, while movie stars stick around forever,​" according to E! News.

Chris later apologized for blasting his ex in such a derogatory way, insisting she is an amazing person and that he'd always love and support her.
