The 2010's decade is going out with a bang and that's because 2019 was a wild year. 2019 was full of explosive moments that got the attention of anyone who wasn't living under a rock, and by explosive moments I mean shady celeb feuds that will go down in history. There's no doubt you remember what you were doing when the whole Jordyn Woods, Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian cheating scandal broke or the fact that you actually watched all 43-minutes of Tati Westbook's YouTube video "exposing" James Charles. It looks like some of the celebs involved in 2019's messiest feuds eventually made up, while others might still have to continue avoiding each other on the red carpet. Here's a recap of some of the craziest celeb feuds of 2019.

Jordyn Woods v. Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner

At one point Kylie Jenner and Jordyn Woods were considered inseparable best friends. Kylie even gifted her former bestie two cars and collaborated on a makeup collection for Kylie Cosmetics. But 2019 was the year that Kylie and Jordyn would prove us all wrong. In February, rumors swirled that Khloe's boyfriend and father to her daughter, True, Tristan Thompson, had cheated on her with Jordyn. Jordyn ended up at a house party back at Tristan's house, where other party-goers alleged that Jordyn and Tristan had gotten cozy and made out. The rumors of course put a rift between Jordyn and Kylie, Khloe and the rest of the Kardashian family. What followed was weeks of subs and unfollowings on social media.

In March, Jordyn appeared on Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table Talk to clear up what really went down at the party. She revealed that she ended up back there after she and some friends ran into him at a bar. Jordyn said that she was wrong for ending up at Tristan's house, but revealed that she didn't get intimate with him. However, she did admit that he did kiss her on the lips as she was leaving the party.

Khloe tuned into Jordyn's interview and accused her of lying and "being the reason her family broke up," though Khloe eventually backtracked on that statement. Jordyn never reconciled with Kylie or Khloe and as of now, it seems like Kylie and Jordyn's friendship is pretty much over.

Taylor Swift v. Katy Perry

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry's feud had been brewing for a few years. The two were once friends but things started to get a little tense when Katy got close to Taylor's ex, John Mayer. Things then turned all out bad in 2014 when Katy allegedly hired dancers that were supposed to be a part of Taylor's tour. The dancers had previously danced with Katy, but had gotten gigs performing for Taylor's Red Tour.

But when Katy went off on her Prism Tour, those same dancers asked Katy if they could join her. Katy said they could, but that they would have to leave Taylor's tour half-way through, and it seems like that's what they did. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Taylor accused "another female pop star" of "basically trying to sabotage an entire arena tour." "She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me," Taylor told the mag.

Katy also addressed the feud herself when she appeared on James Corden's Carpool Karaoke. In the segment, Katy revealed that the feud really was over her hiring the dancers, but that she was ready to move on. "She started it, and it's time for her to finish it," Katy said.

In 2018, Katy tried to squash the feud by literally sending Taylor an olive branch with a note that seemed to include the words "deeply sorry." Taylor shared a video of the gift to social media, but it wasn't until this year that the beef was officially over.

In June, Katy shared a photo of a plate of cookies with the words "peace at last" written on it and she also tagged Taylor. A few keen-eyed fans noticed that the picture may have been taken in Taylor's kitchen, meaning the two may have been hanging out.

So, it seems like Taylor and Katy's friendship is once again thriving.

Taylor Swift v. Scooter Braun and Justin Bieber

In late 2019, we were all invested in the feud between Taylor Swift, Scooter Braun and Justin Bieber. To give you a quick recap, Taylor's latest album, Lover, is the first one she's worked on under her new deal with Republic Records. Before signing with them, Taylor's contract was under another label called Big Machine.

Big Machine owns the master rights to all of Taylor's old music and it was put up for sale earlier this year. Scooter Braun ended up purchasing the label for $300 million, but Taylor claimed that she was never alerted that the label was even going up for sale.

Taylor was also disappointed that Scooter Braun was now the person that owned all the rights to her music. In an open letter to Tumblr, she said that Scooter had been a bully to her over the years. She recalled a time when Justin Bieber posted a photo of him FaceTiming with Scooter Braun and Kanye West, another person who she has feuded with, and captioned it "Taylor swift what up."

Taylor called out the former owner of Big Machine, Scott Borchetta, too, claiming that he was familiar with her rocky relationship with Scooter. She felt that Scott and Scooter had made the deal with malicious intent.

"These are two very rich, very powerful men, using $300 million of other people’s money to purchase, like, the most feminine body of work. And then they’re standing in a wood-panel bar doing a tacky photoshoot, raising a glass of scotch to themselves. Because they pulled one over on me and got this done so sneakily that I didn’t even see it coming. And I couldn’t say anything about it," she told Rolling Stone back in September.

How much control Taylor has over her old masters remains unseen, though she was able to perform her old hits when she was honored at the American Music Awards despite worries that she wouldn't be able to.

Scooter Braun, on the other hand, claims that his family has received death threats due to his ongoing feud with Taylor and said he was committed to rectify the situation. Taylor may possibly be planning to rerecord her old music, but it looks like this feud isn't one that that's going to end anytime soon.

James Charles v. Tati Westbrook

The Dramageddon of 2019 began when Tati Westbrook uploaded a more than 40-min video to YouTube called "Bye Sister" publicly "cancelling" James for a history of what she said was problematic behavior.

Tati called out James for promoting a hair vitamin company called SugarBearHair while he was at Coachella. She said she was deeply hurt that James would create a promotional post for the competition to her own hair vitamin company called Halo Beauty.

Tati also accused James of manipulating a waiter into hooking up with him, though James and the waiter both clarified that the hookup was consensual.

The video caused James to lose nearly 3 million subscribers. He tried to rectify the situation by uploading a quick apology video where he asked his fans and Tati to forgive him for disappointing them, but that didn't stop people from calling for James' "cancellation."

Other YouTubers quickly took sides. Nikita Dragun released the texts that allegedly proved that James' SugarBearHair post was a spur of the moment thing, while Jeffree Star took to Twitter to slam James and call him a "danger to society."

More than a week after Tati's explosive video, James then went on YouTube to post a 40+ minute long video called "No More Lies." In the video, James runs down through everything that Tati accused him of and what really happened with those situations. The video included screenshots of the conversations James had with the waiter in question, info about his relationship with Jeffree Star and a reiteration that his SugarBearHair post wasn't the result of a deal he worked out before Coachella.

Both Tati and James took a break from social media following their online feud until things died down. James is now back and thriving. He has since regained all the 3 million subscribers he lost and Tati is back on a regular posting schedule.

But James said that the situation has left a last effect on his mental health.

"I'm not mentally in a place where I want to be," he admitted. "What's even harder to swallow is that it's been six months since all the drama happened. I thought by this time I'd be completely good— back to normal, if you will— and that's not the case," James told Paper Magazine back in November.

Bella Thorne v. Tana Mongeau

Bella Thorne and Tana Mongeau were once couple goals, until their breakup earlier this year. Tana and Bella first started dating in 2017 and and remained together for over a year. Tana even penned the sweetest tribute to Bella back in 2018 when the couple celebrated their one-year anniversary.

But pictures of Tana and Bella together slowly started to become less and less, leading fans to believe that the two had split. Bella broke the breakup news back in February 2019, when she tweeted that Tana and her were no longer together. Tana also chimed in, writing "I love her forever don’t get that twisted. She changed my life forever. Don’t really wanna talk on it.”

During their time together, Tana and Bella were in an open relationship. Bella was also dating rapper Mod Sun, while she was still with Tana, but a few months after announcing her split from Tana, Bella and Mod Sun also broke up.

Tana and Bella were on good terms until Tana announced her engagement to Jake Paul, which did not go well with Bella. Bella posted a series of tearful photos to Instagram, including one with the caption, "When ur ex gets engaged."

Not too long after that Bella then called Tana out on Twitter, writing "Tana and I are no longer good. She broke girl code I'm over it." Bella never specified what it was Tana did, and even Tana herself was confused because she replied, "????? imagine taking every time ur mad at me to twitter but then telling ppl how much u care about me.................... wtf is this b :/."

Things then took an even bigger turn when Bella accused Tana of dating her for Twitter.

Tana was seriously hurt by what Bella said and tweeted back at her, writing, "dude what are you doing bella? like i have no idea why you’re mad, i’ve been texting you every minute since you tweeted, and for you to be tweeting me something as hurtful as saying I dated you for Twitter is literally f*cking nuts & if you honestly think that damn i lost you."

Though it's still not clear what Tana did to upset Bella, rumors were that Tana was spotted going to dinner with her ex Mod Sun.

Tana went on to marry Jake Paul, though people have speculated about whether the marriage is real or not, and it seems like she eventually patched up things with Bella behind the scenes, too.

In October, Tana helped Bella celebrate her birthday, alongside Tana's new boyfriend, Benjamin Mascolo, so it looks like there are no lingering hard feelings between the two exes.

Alissa Violet v. FaZe Banks

Alissa Violet and FaZe Banks were one YouTube couple that fans thought might tie the knot eventually, but that hope faded when the couple announced their split back in 2019. At the time, it seemed like the breakup ended amicably.

In his tweet about the breakup, FaZe admitted that he still loved Alissa. "Alissa and I decided about a month ago that we should take some time apart. Love that girl to death and always will. I’ll never say a bad word about her. This sh*ts about as hard to deal with as it gets. Please respect our privacy through this. 💔," he wrote.

He even added that the breakup was a mutual decision, "To clarify too, this wasn’t one sided by any means. Just like everything else we’ve ever done, it was a team decision. Alissa is the most amazing soul I’ve ever come in contact with. She deserves love and support. She’ll continue to have mine forever."

Alissa addressed the breakup, too, except she only used three words. "Single violet thrives," she tweeted.

But behind the scenes it seems the breakup wasn't so amicable after all. In early December, Alissa seemingly outed FaZe for cheating on her in the guest house of their own home. In response to a tweet that asked how she found out she was being cheated on, Alissa wrote, "i was asleep upstairs with our dogs and he wasn’t next to me so i checked our guest house and caught him naked in bed with a random girl."

That tweet set off a wave other accusations, including one that said that FaZe asked Alissa to ship off their dogs to her parents' house after she asked FaZe for help taking care of them, to which FaZe replied that he didn't understand why they were airing out their dirty laundry on Twitter.

In reply to the thread, FaZe decided to pen a long note of his own. Part of it read, "We had issues and couldn’t fix them. We were miserable together for a while and couldn’t ever let each other go. I think I speak for both of us when I say the love was and always will be a very REAL thing. Which is why I refuse to let our very intimate, private relationship become a spectacle online. It’s heart breaking. Social media really isn’t the place."

FaZe also added that he still loved Alissa. "Liss if you’re reading this love you, it hurts me a lot that you’re hurt, but I promise hurting me won’t make you feel better. I wish every day that it could’ve been different. I will never ever not love you and I’ll always be here. I truly do wish the best for you."

The Twitter beef died down after FaZe's note, but chances of the two working it out seem slim to none.
