“[Chrissy] wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself. Things like, ‘I can’t wait for you to die,'” Courtney alleged.

2. Billie Eilish called out Jimmy Kimmel for their viral 2019 interview where he asked her who Van Halen was.

“Do you remember last time I was here? And you made me look a little stupid?” she asked Jimmy. “I thought it was funny because I was playing along, and everybody thought I was actually serious and didn’t know anything.”

3. Of all the opponents of Scott Disick and Amelia Hamlin’s relationship, Amelia’s mom — Lisa Rinna — was a pretty consistent fan of calling out the pair for the 18-year age difference between them.

She previously described finding out about the relationship as “a ‘What the fuck?’ moment. You’re like, ‘What the fuck?’ She’s 19. He’s 37 with three kids.”

4. Although not just aimed at Harry Styles himself, Billy Porter called out Vogue for featuring Harry in a dress as their first male solo cover star.

5. Back in 2017, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted on Instagram about a “candy ass” Fast & Furious 8 costar of his — which many people assumed was him calling out Vin Diesel. This year, he doubled down on the sentiment behind his comments.

“When I tried to break legal contract and quit Disaster Artist because James Franco is a sexual predator, they tried to bribe me with a bigger acting role,” they wrote. “Seth Rogen was one of the producers on this film, so he definitely knows about the bribe and why I quit.”
