Tom Brady is tackling his beef with Logan Paul face-to-face.
Indeed, the NFL quarterback turned sports commentator threw hands instead of a football during a spicy exchange with the professional wrestler, slapping Paul onstage at Fanatics Fest in New York July 17. But his reaction has fueled rumors that it was all just a stunt.
“I tried America,” Brady replied on X July 17 to the viral video—which fans suspect was a staged argument—before seemingly playfully ribbing Paul for good measure. “Will try again next time I see this nerd.”
For his part, the big brother to Jake Paul said on X that Brady’s barb, which was triggered by “roasting Tom for beating him in flag football,” should be categorized as a “horrible example for the kids.”
Meanwhile, New York Knicks player Karl-Anthony Towns—who stepped in between the two during the heated moment—also reposted the clip on X with a wide-eyed emoji.
But Brady and Paul do have a history of trading jabs, including on the Feb. 10 episode of the wrestler’s Impaulsive podcast titled “Logan Paul TRASH TALKS Tom Brady.”

“If you put me and Tom Brady up athletically, I bet I’d be more ‘athletic,'” Paul explained in the next episode. “He used the word ‘cute’ when talking about WWE. I think in many ways, football is also cute.”
He added, “I’m a boxer, and you can probably put most NFL players and basketball players in a ring and they’d probably get their ass kicked by real boxers.”
The theatrical moment has been just one of Brady’s many spotlight-stealing choices as of late. The 48-year-old also recently participated in his second roast for Netflix—this timeThe Roast of Kevin Hart as opposed to sitting in the hot seat himself. For his second time around, the University of Michigan graduate took on the final boss of celebrity punchlinesChelsea Handlerby comparing her to fellow comedian Nikki Glaser.
“What happened to Nikki Glaser? She looks like s–t,” Brady said during the outrageous May 10 event. “Oh, my bad. Sorry, Chelsea.”
Aside from roasting Handler, Brady saved some heat for the man of the hour, Kevin Hart.
“How did the G.O.A.T. roast go from me to you?” the New England Patriot mused. “I won seven Super Bowls. Kevin has been in two Ride Alongmovies. I’ve won five Super Bowl MVP awards. Kevin, you’re the third most famous person in Jumanji.”
In addition to turning heads for entertainment, Brady has also received attention for his private life this year following his divorce from Gisele Bündchen in 2022. The Good Nut drink maker sparked dating rumors with Alix Earle, 25, in January, after the pair was spotted together at a New Year’s Eve bash.
While it remains to be seen if Brady’s quarrel with Paul is real or staged, read on for a look at other famous celebrity feuds.

“I want people to know that Tan and I—we will be fine,” he told Vanity Fair. “There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewing—and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.”
In March 2024, Tan responded to allegations that he had campaigned to replace Bobby on Queer Eye with his friend Jeremiah Brent.
“Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting. I didn’t put my friend up for the job. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job,” he said on Instagram. “But I didn’t get them hired by getting rid of somebody else.”
He did not respond to her remarks publicly.
Five years prior, Sharon told Larry King that when Ashton appeared on The Talk in 2014, he had an “attitude” after she got his name wrong.
“He goes, ‘What are you, what have you done in this industry?'” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Kid, don’t start with me, because I’m gonna eat you up and s–t you out.’ So I was just like, ‘You don’t know what you’re dealing with, kid.'”
The two made amends. But months later, Candace was asked if she expects the Great American Family network, of which she serves as chief creative officer, to feature same-sex couples as leads in holiday movies. She said no, adding, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
JoJo, who came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, wrote on Instagram that the actress’ comment is “rude and hurtful to a whole community of people.”
“I was directing that movie for 13 days and then I was called into [producer] Jeff Katzenberg’s office and he said, ‘You have everything with you? Go home,'” he said.
Winkler did, however, seem to get along with Hanks’ four-legged co-star. “I got along great, great with that dog,” he said. “Love that dog.”
He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick.
Fans of The Hills will remember that iconic line, delivered by Lauren on the season three premiere. Their feud began when Heidi started dating her now-husband Spencer Pratt, and hit its peak when Lauren accused Heidi and Spencer of starting a rumor that she had made a sex tape with then-boyfriend Jason Wahler.
Tyrese then opened up about the feud, telling Van Lathan on The Red Pill podcast, “I have yet to talk to The Rock to this day, and we will have a conversation.” He shared that he did have a chat with the former wrestler’s producing partner, but not the actor himself.
“I found myself being the messenger on behalf of various people associated to the franchise, but stupid me was the only one who went public about those feelings, which is my own fault,” Tyrese said. “It’s not professional, it’s not cool.”
Taylor and Katy had been in a feud for years, their rift even allegedly inspiring Taylor’s song “Bad Blood.” The drama, which reportedly started over a backup dancer and competing tours, came to an end after Perry sent Taylor a literal olive branch before her Reputation Tour kickoff.
“So I just got to my dressing room and found this actual olive branch,” Taylor said in an Instagram video. “This mean so much.”
Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”
“What was your reaction to Kim Cattrall telling Piers Morgan that you were never friends just colleagues?” Andy Cohen asked SJP on a September 2017 episode of Watch What Happens Live.
As she explained, “Just…heartbroken. I mean that whole week, you and I spoke about it because I was just…I don’t know I found it really upsetting because that’s, you know, that’s not the way I recall our experience.”
“So…it’s sad but I’m kind of…I don’t know, I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience is the thing,” she contined. “It was a professional experience but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives. So I’m hoping that that sort of eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken. That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with is such a privileged.”
And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.
Shonda later opened up about Katherine’s decision during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter in 2012. “On some level it stung and on some level I was not surprised,” she said. “When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that [mantra] with me a lot. It has served me well.”
“For a while now she’s been taking a lot of shots at me,” Cardi said in W magazine’s Art Issue. “I spoke to her twice before, and we came to an understanding. But she kept it going.”
The real spark of the fight came when Cardi saw that Nicki had allegedly liked and then unliked a tweet about Cardi’s parenting skills, which Nicki has denied.
“I was going to make millions off my Bruno Mars tour, and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter,” Cardi continued. “I love my daughter. I’m a good-ass f–king mom. So for somebody that don’t have a child to like that comment? So many people want to say that party wasn’t the time or the place, but I’m not going to catch another artist in the grocery store or down the block.”
In February 2025, one day before the Grammys, Kanye updated his Instagram to follow only Taylor. He added no further comment, and his fellow musician did not respond publicly to the move.
Mariah and J.Lo’s supposed feud started when the Queen of Christmas was asked to give her opinion on several singers during a 2003 German TV interview. When asked her opinion on Jennifer, she replied, “I don’t know her.”
