15 Savage AF Public Celeb Breakups
Breakups can be savage. Reason being is that the main two emotions enmeshed in them are sadness and anger. Oh yes, good ol' anger… the lighter fluid heaved onto an already kindled flame. In times of separations or/and divorces, things get realer than real - property of the other party (e.g. clothes, vehicle, photos; actually, anything belonging to the ex is fair game) gets vandalized or completely destroyed, characters get defamed, secrets get exposed, real true feelings and thoughts come out; basically, the gloves come off and the bell gets rung for Round 1 to begin.
Then you have the breakups that are so savage, they end up spilling into the streets by default. Like when Craig and Uncle Elroy watched D'wana key the heck out of Day-Day's BMW and then mercilessly pepper spray him in the face before walking off. As if that's not enough, D'wana and Baby D' (her cousin) also chased Day-Day around his job's parking lot thereafter, prior to busting out the windshield on his BMW with a brick. Whoa, now that's savage - however, D'wana and Baby D' have got nothing on the following 15 Savage AF Public Celebrity Breakups.
