14 Biggest Talk Show Controversies And Feuds

So many rumors have rocked Hollywood over the years. While many of them are so obviously false, there have been a number of others that seemed as though they could be true — and some of them have turned out to be just that. We have 12 celebrity tales that turned out to be true:

12. Ben Affleck and His Nanny

When news broke in 2015 that Ben Affleck was having a relationship with his children’s nanny following his split from Jennifer Garner, the Argo star threatened to file a lawsuit but failed to do so. It wasn’t until Garner gave an interview to Vanity Fair in 2016 that she confirmed what everyone already suspected – that the rumor was 100% true. “We had been separated for months before I ever heard about the nanny,” the former Alias star said. “She had nothing to do with our decision to divorce. She was not a part of the equation. Bad judgment? Yes.” According to her, one of the toughest parts was explaining it to their three children. “It’s not great for your kids for [a nanny] to disappear from their lives,” she said. “I have had to have conversations about the meaning of ‘scandal.’”

11. Bill Cosby’s Sexual Assault Allegations

For years, women came forward accusing Bill Cosby of sexual assault. In 2005, the National Enquirer was going to publish an interview with Beth Ferrier, a model who accused the actor/comedian of sexually assaulting her in the mid-‘80s. Also in 2005, Andrea Constand accused him drugging and sexually assaulting her. Cosby managed to convince the National Enquirer in 2005 to bury Ferrier’s story by giving the magazine an exclusive interview. As a result, it wasn’t until 2014 when Hannibal Buress brought up the allegations during one of his standup routines that the world took notice. More and more and women came forward and Constand’s accusations from 2005 resulted in criminal charges against Cosby. Although the 2017 trial ended in a mistrial, in 2018, The Cosby Show star was found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault and sentenced to three to 10 years in prison.

For years there were rumors that Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall did not get along on or off the set of Sex and the City; however, they were professional and kept whatever beef there was between them to themselves.

You are not my friend.
