00:04 Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most scandalous moments
00:08 where celebrity couples divulged a bit too much information about their private lives to the public.
00:14 "You had this very serious matter playing out in court, but it almost became
00:18 a real-life soap opera as well with the live TV coverage in it."
00:21 10. Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa
00:25 "The main part was the breakup. That had a lot to do with our animosity towards each other and
00:30 how we were treating the situation." Following her highly publicized split from Kanye West in 2010,
00:37 Amber Rose moved forward with rapper Wiz Khalifa, tying the knot in 2013. However,
00:42 after just one year together, Rose decided to call it quits and filed for divorce.
00:46 "I think that we just wanted different things in our lives. Being married in the public is
00:55 not easy." Amid rumors of infidelity on both sides, Rose took to Twitter to clear the air,
00:59 denying any wrongdoing while suggesting that Khalifa may have been unfaithful. A few months
01:04 later, Khalifa went on his own lengthy rant on Twitter, seemingly calling out Rose and
01:09 labeling her a "foul creature" for playing mind games with their son. Hopefully, the former couple
01:15 has found a way to resolve their differences privately, especially for the sake of their child.
01:20 "You see each other a lot?"
01:22 "Oh we do, I mean, you know, we co-parent so he's at my house a lot for the baby,
01:26 I'm at his house."
01:28 9. Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly
01:30 "You remember me?"
01:31 "See a lot of people, baby."
01:34 "Not like me you don't."
01:36 This couple first crossed paths in March 2020 while collaborating on the crime thriller
01:41 Midnight in the Switchgrass, and connected instantly. Since then, Megan Fox and Machine
01:46 Gun Kelly have been very vocal about their relationship, often leaving very little to
01:50 the imagination. "He was like, 'You're gonna be naked tonight.' And I was like, 'Whatever you say.'"
01:55 Whether it was revealing their intimate encounters on an Airbnb table, or discussing drinking each
02:00 other's blood for "ritual purposes only," they definitely kept the public updated. Sure,
02:05 fans enjoy glimpses into the lives of their favorite celebrity couples, but some things
02:10 are just better kept private. Thankfully, Fox seems to be learning that. In a March 2024 episode of the
02:16 Call Her Daddy podcast, she stated her intention to refrain from sharing further details about her
02:21 relationship publicly. "That is what I refer to as being my twin soul. And there will always be a
02:27 tether to him no matter what. I can't say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be
02:33 connected to him somehow. Beyond that, I'm not willing to explain."
02:38 8. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
02:41 In 2021, one year after departing from the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sat down
02:46 for a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey. During the special, the couple publicly discussed
02:51 intimate details of their struggles with the royal family. "And did that concern you in
02:56 being able to fit in? Did you think about that at all?" "Well, I thought about it because
03:03 they made me think about it." Markle disclosed instances of racism,
03:09 directed both at her and their then-unborn son, Prince Archie. She also spoke about the lack of
03:14 support from the institution, which led to her feeling isolated and even contemplating self-harm.
03:20 "These are the thoughts that I'm having in the middle of the night that are very clear,
03:24 and I'm scared because this is very real. This isn't some abstract idea. This is
03:29 methodical, and this is not who I am."
03:34 Harry later chimed in, highlighting his strained relationship with his father,
03:38 King Charles, and brother, Prince William. These revelations sparked a huge controversy,
03:43 with many questioning the couple's decision to air their grievances publicly
03:47 and the damage it posed for the royal family. "So you have Harry saying, 'I'm never going to
03:51 give the details of that conversation.' It's like, but you just have. And by not being specific,
03:57 you've sort of condemned the entire family."
04:00 7. Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher
04:03 "You got a Google alert?"
04:05 "Yes."
04:06 "She called him. What did you say to him?"
04:10 In her 2019 memoir, Inside Out, Demi Moore candidly shared her experiences,
04:15 including surviving sexual assault, substance use disorder, and her tumultuous marriage to
04:19 Ashton Kutcher. The two began dating in 2003, while Moore was 40 and Kutcher was 25, and tied
04:25 the knot two years later. Moore revealed that during their time together, Kutcher pressured
04:29 her into having threesomes, then eventually cheated on her.
04:33 "He admitted it right away. And I think my response was, 'Are you f---ing kidding me?'"
04:42 She also stated that he was dismissive of her alcoholism, even urging her to break her sobriety.
04:48 It took about four years for Kutcher to publicly address the claims. In a 2023 interview with
04:52 Esquire, the actor expressed feeling pissed about the memoir, and that the failure of
04:57 their marriage was humiliating and embarrassing.
05:00 "You know me. I probably did something to screw it up."
05:02 "Oh, stop it."
05:04 "Yeah, well, let the fossil record show that I am terrible with women."
05:09 6. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
05:11 "You think this story's gonna have a happy ending?"
05:13 "Happy endings are stories that haven't finished yet."
05:16 Ever since they met on the set of 2005's Mr. and Mrs. Smith, this former Hollywood power couple
05:21 has been under constant public scrutiny. Their affair became a scandal after it supposedly led
05:26 to Brad Pitt's divorce from Jennifer Aniston. The two stayed together for a decade before getting
05:30 married in 2014, but things quickly fell apart, culminating in Jolie filing for divorce just two
05:36 years later. "I don't want to say very much about that, except to say it was a very difficult time."
05:42 What followed was a seemingly never-ending battle, initially over custody of their children,
05:47 and later involving a winery they both owned in France. Amid the lengthy dispute,
05:52 several intimate details have come to light, most notably the allegations of Pitt's physical
05:57 and verbal assault of Jolie and their children, on multiple occasions.
06:01 "After interviewing various witnesses, the FBI agent who conducted the investigation
06:06 concluded that the government had probable cause to charge Pitt
06:10 with a federal crime for his conduct that day."
06:13 5. Shakira and Gerard Piquet
06:16 Although they never officially got married, Shakira and Gerard Piquet were together for 11
06:28 years after meeting on the set of her "Waka Waka" - this time for Africa - music video in 2010.
06:33 They welcomed two children, and even appeared on Forbes' list of "World's Most Powerful Couples."
06:38 However, in 2022, fans were shocked to learn that the two were separating,
06:42 allegedly due to Piquet's infidelity.
06:45 "I'm here to make you feel, chew, swallow, swallow, chew.
06:48 I'm not coming back with you, don't make me cry or beg."
06:52 Shakira has since addressed this situation in her music,
06:55 notably in her hit collaboration with Bizzerap, Bizzerap Music Sessions Vol. 53.
07:00 The singer has also openly shared her frustration over her ex's betrayal,
07:04 especially given the sacrifices she made for their relationship,
07:08 including putting her career on hold.
07:10 "You don't love her like I love you, because I'm not for you like you."
07:14 4. Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock
07:17 "Can't believe I let you in, I can't believe I stayed, as long as I stayed, yeah."
07:24 Nothing airs a couple's dirty linen quite like a nasty divorce.
07:27 We saw that in the case of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and a much similar scenario
07:32 unfolded with singer Kelly Clarkson and her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
07:36 Blackstock was the son of Clarkson's former manager,
07:39 and he assumed that role after they got married in 2013.
07:42 In 2020, Clarkson filed for divorce, which was finalized two years later,
07:47 and was chronicled in great detail in her album, Chemistry.
07:50 "There is sadness, there is rage."
07:52 "Rage?"
07:53 "Yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot. It's because you go through all those emotions."
07:57 Despite the divorce being finalized, their business settlements have
08:00 continued to drag on in court. In 2023, Clarkson won a $2.6 million lawsuit against Blackstock,
08:07 after it was determined that he had violated the law by making certain business deals on her behalf.
08:12 "Right when you think that you'll try again, they cross the line, and still you'll shine,
08:19 like you did mine."
08:22 3. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
08:24 There arguably has never been a civil trial that revealed as many intimate details about
08:28 a couple's life as that between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
08:32 "We all saw that saga unfolding and thought, 'How ridiculous.' But no one
08:37 knew the actual horror of what was going on behind the scenes there at the time in that relationship."
08:42 Although divorced since January 2017, Heard's accusations of domestic violence
08:47 prompted Depp to sue her for defamation. The ensuing trial captivated the public and unveiled
08:53 a plethora of information that left many bewildered.
08:56 "This is a case like no other that I've covered, but I've never before seen two Hollywood stars
09:02 fighting each other over the high courtroom and bringing basically all of their dirty laundry
09:08 from their marriage out into the open."
09:10 Depp countered that it was he who endured domestic violence in the relationship,
09:13 claiming that Heard hit him multiple times, put out a cigarette on his face,
09:17 and severed his fingertip. Perhaps most outrageous was the allegation that she
09:21 defecated in their bed as a prank.
09:24 "It's not the kind of thing that comes up normally in court anyway, let alone to have these household
09:28 names, these mega stars, fighting essentially over who might have done it."
09:33 Ultimately, Depp won his claims against Heard, but the only real loser here was us.
09:38 2. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
09:41 "This was not a guy that was going to take the end of his marriage lying down. I could see
09:45 in her eyes how much pain this woman is going through."
09:49 Kim Kardashian's short-lived but highly publicized marriage to Chris Humphries
09:53 left him emotionally scarred, a fact he's openly discussed. But it's her subsequent
09:58 union with Kanye West that gave the public TMI. During their marriage, West publicly shared
10:04 details like how they considered terminating their first pregnancy and his suspicions of her
10:08 infidelity. Even after they split, West continued to publicly air their private matters, and
10:13 targeted her new boyfriend, Pete Davidson.
10:16 "When you give 'em everything, they only want more.
10:19 Gucci and the Roolyard needs to do some chores."
10:22 He also didn't shy away from revealing details about their disputes,
10:25 particularly concerning their daughter, North, much to Kardashian's chagrin.
10:30 The oversharing bug also bit Kardashian's brother, Rob, who once posted explicit pictures of his ex,
10:35 Blac Chyna, resulting in his social media accounts being temporarily suspended.
10:40 "This is a person that I trusted. I just felt..."
10:44 "Betrayed?"
10:45 "Yeah, betrayed."

11:00 1. Will and Jada Pinkett Smith
11:05 "Coming to the table was like, we just felt like...
11:08 it got to the point where you gotta say something."
11:11 When people start a petition to stop reporters from interviewing you,
11:14 it's a clear sign that you have devolved too much publicly.
11:18 The marriage of actors Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have become a topic of public consumption,
11:23 inundating us with details that frankly, we never asked for.
11:27 "This is a very personal journey that became very public."
11:31 "Yes, absolutely."
11:33 "For whatever reason."
11:34 "So what happened, Jada?"
11:35 We know they've been in a non-monogamous marriage. We know that Jada was in an entanglement with
11:41 rapper August Alsina. We know that despite appearing in public together, the two have
11:45 actually been separated since 2016. We all know about the infamous slap, but also that Chris Rock
11:51 had previously asked Jada out on a date. At this point, the more appropriate question would be,
11:56 what remains unknown about the Smiths?
11:59 "If somebody looked through a crystal ball and said, 'This, this, this, and this is gonna happen,'
12:02 I'd be like, 'No way.'"
12:04 What other celebrity couple loudmouths do you think need to dial it down a bit?
12:08 "I don't like how all of this came to be. That doesn't matter."
