Everybody loves a celebrity feud. Even if you pretend you don’t, you do a little.
There’s no shame in it (okay, maybe there is a little shame). It’s justgenuinely funto sit back and watch rich, famous people fight.

This year saw some damn good feuds, spanning so many levels of fame that there's really something for everyone. We had an actual superstar call out Justin Bieber's manager, we learned our favourite TV actresses were probably not friends after all and we met many reality TV stars, who kept us interested in their lives by... fighting with each other.
Plus, Australia's national carrier got in on the action.
Here's a list of 2019's greatest feuds:
Qantas vs The Veronicas.

Twin sisters Jessica and Lisa Origliasso, better known as singing duo The Veronicas, were removed from a Sydney plane in September and we all cared far more than we should.
The sisters were asked to leave Qantas QF516, which was bound for Brisbane, amid a disagreement with cabin crew. Qantas said two passengers refused to follow the cabin crew’s instructions and were “offloaded” before the plane took off.
The Australian Federal Police told AAP officers came on board amid an argument between the two passengers and staff before the women agreed to disembark, with no further issues.
According to Qantas, cabin crew gave instruction about bags and shifting their luggage in the overhead storage compartment. Company protocol is that cabin crew cannot manage passenger baggage, so crew advised the pair to seek assistance from another passenger if they were unable to reach their bags.
According to the airline, that’s when they allegedly started getting argumentative before videoing the crew involved.
The Veronicas, who said the incident was “incredibly intimidating and confusing”, disputed Qantas' version of events.
"The details reported are false and in conflict with video recorded during the event and witness accounts from the flight," they said on Instagram.
"The incident was escalated without explanation why from the cabin staff. We co-operated with all requests from authorities and exited the aircraft."
They later shared another post to their (now deleted) Twitter account with a series of statements and claims made my fellow passengers.
On November 4, the week before their reality show began on Foxtel, Jess told news.com.au Qantas was refusing to meet with them about the incident, adding that the pair want to show the video they filmed on board the plane which reveals “the truth” of what happened.
"Jess filmed it so we could take it to Qantas to review it so they could get the full story of what happened, obviously they’ve denied seeing it or wanting to meet with us, so we’re like what do we do with it?
"We’re only protecting Qantas by not showing the truth so we are considering putting it on the show."
Following the incident, the twins said they were getting legal advice.
Debra Messing vs Megan Mullally.

This was the feud that upset us the most.
After 11 seasons and 233 episodes, one of our comfort shows,Will & Grace, has hit a snag.
It appears two of the main characters had a falling out this year, and that’s why the show we all watch during a breakup/after a stressful day/while we’re chatting to our friends on messenger/scrolling on Insta/cooking dinner is coming to an end (for good this time).
In August, we discovered that Messing and Mullally, who play Grace Adler and Karen Walker on the show, had been dropping some big fat hints of a bubbling feud.
They unfollowed each other on Instagram and then Mullally posted a cryptic message in a now deleted Instagram post.
“One of the best feelings is finally losing your attachment to somebody who isn’t good for you,” she wrote.
She followed up with another post that read, “Don’t ask people for directions if they’ve never been where you’re going”.
Oh. :(
Messing, on the other hand, uploaded a photo a few weeks ago urging fans to vote for Will & Grace at the Emmys but didn’t tag Mullally in it.
She literally tagged everyone except Mullally including the series director and the co-creator.
Kochie vs Martha.

This one was really weird.
It all started on the Logies red carpet in late June, when Martha fromMAFS allegedly elbowed Kochie aggressively in the ribs.
Regardless of the existence and/or extent of Martha’s elbowing, Kochie escalated the feud by sharing his version of events on national television, with his friends Samantha Armytage and Natalie Barr.
On the Monday morning following the event, theSunrisecast were reflecting on Logies night when Kochie said: “I’ve still got bruises in the ribs from theMarried at First Sightwoman who elbowed me on the way through.”
They then made some jokes about 15 minutes of fame and had a good lol.
Look, the feud probably could've ended right then and there. But no.
With a 17 minute video titled 'THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LOGIES', Martha and Kochie momentarily became the James Charles and Tati Westbrook (more on them later) of Australia's TV world. Minus the rival supplement brands. And the level of fame. And a great majority of the controversy. But still.
In the YouTube video, both Martha and her partner Michael Brunelli raised their frustrations with the multiple media reports about what occurred at the Logies.
Martha and Michael discussed how unfair it was to put an allegation of elbowing out on TV without discussing it in person. "It becomes really childish," Michael said.
Throughout the week, Kochie and co-host Sam Armytage both made comments to various media outlets, with Kochie telling theDaily Mail"All I'll apologise for is putting myself in a dangerous position between her and a photographer".
Then days later Martha uploaded another video titled "My Final Say to Kochie and Sunrise".
"He just thinks that because I was on a reality TV show and am a reality TV star that I don’t deserve to get an apology for him. Perhaps that I’m beneath him," Martha said.
"I’m a person and I have feelings and Sam and Koch have caused me so much stress and anxiety these past few days and I just feel like it’s so unnecessary, like for what, for ratings?"
True to her word, it was her final say. And thank goodness, we were getting a little tired tbh.
Coleen Rooney vs Rebekah Vardy.
The feud that broke the internet and 100% the best news story of 2019.

In October, Coleen Rooney (author/TV personality and wife of former England captain Wayne Rooney) posted a lengthy social media post outing former friend and fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy (nightclub promoter and wife of English and Leicester player Jamie Vardy) for leaking stories about her to the media.
Coleen described the lengths she went to to find the culprit: "I blocked everyone from viewing my Instagram stories except ONE account. Over the past five months I have posted a series of false stories to see if they made their way into the Sun newspaper. And you know what, they did!"
At the end of the lengthy post she revealed the name: "It's... Rebekah Vardy's account," wrote Coleen.
Cue:frenzy.
This has been a burden in my life for a few years now and finally I have got to the bottom of it...... pic.twitter.com/0YqJAoXuK1

Rebekah quickly responded via social media, denying the claims completely, but then other WAGs came out on Coleen's side.
This story was so big in the UK that when it dropped, Rebekah’s name was being searched more than Brexit. BREXIT.
Plus, the feud coined the phrase 'Wagatha Christie' and that waseverything.
The MAFS cast vs The MAFS cast.

The 2019Married At First Sightcast has had so many internal feuds we honestly can't keep up.
On the show there were feuds involving face mask fighting, wine pouring and the throwing of fruit bowls.
Then, after the season finished in April, the feuds continued in the form of passive aggressive social media posts, straight up aggressive social media posts and many, manyDaily Mailarticles.
Take even one member of the cast and they would've been involved in at least one feud, or look at Jessika Power, Cyrell Paule or Martha Kalifatidis who have at one stage or another fallen out with... everyone.
Even past favourites Cam and Jules, who recently got marriedfor real, having been able to come away unscathed. A few of their fellow cast members have shaded them for selling their wedding rights to media, and Jules' former pal Mel Lucarelli was not happy about being cut from the bridal party.
With a new season ofMAFSstarting early next year, we can definitely count on even more feuding.
Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun.
(And Scott Borchetta)

In June, Taylor Swift announced that she had learned her long-time manager Scott Borchetta, who she parted ways with in 2018 after 12 years, sold his label Big Machine Records to Scooter Braun, the controversial manager of Justin Bieber and she was very unhappy about it.
Borchetta owned the rights to her music, which means Braun now stands to make millions off of Swift’s past releases.
This was especially problematic to her due to what she described as the “incessant, manipulative bullying” she had dealt with from Braun for years.
Taylor later confirmed she intended to re-record her first six albums from November 2020, presumably after the expiration of her contracts, thus taking back control of her masters.

Battle lines were drawn and celebrities were quick to make their sides clear, but after a while it all died down.
Until November, when Swift posted an uncharacteristically vulnerable message: "Don't know what else to do," she wrote across her social media, along with a series of screenshots of a long, desperate note she'd written on her phone.
"Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I’m allowed to next year," she wrote, claiming they were blocking her from performing her hits when she was honoured with the Artist of the Decade award at November's American Music Awards.
She also said that while working with Netflix on a documentary, Brain and Borchetta have refused them access to her older music and performance footage.
Braun and Borchetta issued a statement in response, but Swift's camp then put out another statement, pointing out that they hadn't actually provided any proof her claims were wrong.
Swift was able to perform a medley of her hits at the award show and her Netflix documentary has been announced for January.
