15 Times Celebs Were Dumped Worse Than You've Ever Been

To say that breaking up is hard to do is an understatement, but nothing is more embarrassing than being a public figure going through heartache. Celebrities are already under public scrutiny as they live their lives in the limelight, but trying to not only navigate careers but also love lives in front of the entire world can cause pressures in relationships.

There's no perfect way to break up with someone, especially when you're trying to hold onto the very little bit of privacy you have left. We like to think of the rich and famous as having all of the things that we wish for, but no matter how bad your last break up was, these famous relationship fall outs go to show that no one is immune to a tragic love gone sour. Whether it's Tiger Woods' public humiliation or Hugh Grant getting caught with a prostitute, these Hollywood break ups have gone down in history as some of the worst ways to have a relationship end.

15 Rita Ora And Calvin Harris

We're going to keep you guessing on just how many time we're going to mention Taylor Swift's name on this list. The "Bad Blood" singer is known for using her break ups to write chart-topping songs exploiting her heartache, so we can't forget about the back in the day when she dated Joe Jonas. Fans across the globe thought that the two pop stars would be together forever, but alas, another celebrity couple bit the dust.

Taylor would go on to tell Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show that Joe kicked her to the curb over the phone. Oh, it gets worse! The call only lasted 27 seconds. However, Joe would later say that he wasn't the one who ended the call abruptly, hinting that he probably called to break up with Taylor but she hung up on him. She would go on to write a number of songs about him and as bad as the break up was, it definitely helped them make a profit.

13 Minnie Driver And Matt Damon

Before she was dating guys like Mac Miller or Big Sean, songstress Ariana Grande's heart belonged to Jai Brooks. The two were a young on-again-off-again couple whose relationship was beloved by tweens everywhere. There were rumors that she worked too much and he was too immature for her, but whatever the reason they pair decided to call it quits on their romance. She went on to post a long message on social media bout the importance of having someone in your life for both the good and the bad. As enigmatic as that was, she was a bit more direct during an interview with Complex where she answered a series of questions, including one about relationships where she she alluded that Jai dumped her via text message.

"The worst way I've been broken up with was probably over a text message the opening night of my tour right before I was about to go on stage." Ouch.

11 Brandi Glanville And Eddie Cibrian

Brandi Glanville became a queen of reality television, but before that she and her actor husband Eddie Cibrian were enjoying a blissful Hollywood life together. Then everything imploded when news traveled - and quickly - through the blogs that Eddie was in a new relationship. If that wasn't shocking enough, his new love was country icon LeAnn Rimes. The two met on the set of Northern Lights and, like many celebrities who work together, they found behind the scenes. Too bad for them Eddie had a wife and kids at home and LeAnn was married to Dean Sheremet. The new lovers left their partners, got divorces, and quickly married. Brandi was later cast on The Housewives of Beverly Hills were she didn't hold back on how horrible her breakup was while Eddie and LeAnn posed for the paparazzi showing everyone just how blissful their relationship is and continues to be.

10 Katy Perry And Russell Brand

The Russell Brand and Katy Perry match-up threw everyone for a loop. The wild-eyed comedian and America's pop star princess didn't seem as if they were a good fit but, at least for a while, showed that their love was real. Then, in October 2010, the two exchanged "I dos" in a traditional Hindu ceremony. However, by December of the following year, the relationship was already over. Everyone expected them to be in the midst of newlywed life but instead, they were announcing their split.

Russell was more vocal about the two getting divorced while Katy admitted that she found out that her loving hubby was over their relationship when he told her through a text message. Too bad that matching tattoos and sharing a cat couldn't make it work, but neither gave up on love. Brand spent much of 2016 with girlfriend Laura Gallacher while Perry was linked to John Mayer for quite sometime before breaking up with him and moving on to hottie Orlando Bloom.

9 Big Sean And Naya Rivera

When this Detroit rapper hooked up with this "Glee" star, we thought we had a new hot hip hop couple. What ended up happening is one of the messiest break ups in hip hop history. The two had a whirlwind romance and before we knew it, they were engaged. The world was ready for these two to walk down the aisle and when they called it off, everyone was shocked.

In her autobiography Sorry Not Sorry, Naya wrote that she and Sean were fighting for almost a week while he was away. When he got home, he didn't want to see her, and Naya would later catch him home alone with Ariana Grande - the person he dated immediately after the break up. Naya also said that she found out from the internet that their wedding was called off and their relationship was over. Yikes.

8 Chad Michael Murray And Sophia Bush

He was the "One Tree Hill" hunk married to his hottie co-star. It was a match made in young-adult-drama-series history, but imploded in front of everyone's eyes. Rumors surfaced and Chad and his House of Wax co-star Paris Hilton were sharing more than screen time, and after only five months of marriage, Sophia filed for an annulment. She cited the reason behind she and Chad's split was "fraud" and would go on to call him a few names in the press that we can't even repeat here.

To make more awkward, the two did this all while still working together on One Tree Hill. Even after their divorce, the pair continued to have a professional working relationship for five more years. "We were two stupid kids who had no business being in a relationship in the first place," Sophia said. 'To all the other co-stars who've worked it out, more power to you.'

7 Tiger Woods And Elin Nordegren

He may be one of the greatest golfers in the history, but Terrible Tiger went through a few moments in his life when he hoped he could crawl into a hole. When Elin Nordegren first met Tiger, she was seeing someone else and had no interest in dating him. However, fate would bring them together and they were married in 2004. They were the face of the perfect golf family, that is, until tales of Tiger's infidelities hit the internet. Women came out of the woodwork claiming to have slept with the sports star including escorts, waitresses, and models. Text message conversations were printed in the tabloids and it seemed that women were selling their stories left and right. Elin stood by her man as long as she could and then called up her divorce lawyer. She got $100 million in the divorce and if there's anything that can ease the pain of a break up, it's that.

6 Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart

They were the hot Twilight couple that weren't only lover on screen but in real life, so it floored all super fans when Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart broke up. Back in 2012 Us Weekly published candid photos of Kristen and married director Rupert Sanders canoodling together. The two had worked on Snow White and the Huntsman together, apparently taking their professional relationship to another level. The situation was uncomfortable for everyone, including readers who were looking at the photos at the same time as poor Robert. Kristen and Rupert tried to make their cheating relationship work but that soon fizzled as well. Don't worry about Robert, he's moved on and has been dating singer FKA Twigs since 2014. The two have been pretty private about their relationship and while there are rumors that they've called off their engagement, others say they're planning their wedding in secret.

5 Sandra Bullock And Jesse James

One of the most awful break ups in celebrity history is that of Sandra Bullock and her bad boy husband, Jesse James. These two were another Hollywood couple that people didn't expect to get together, but America's sweetheart and her tattooed love bug seemed to make it work. That is, until the messy explosion that was their relationship's downfall. After 5 years together, in 2010 a number of news sources claimed that Jesse had been cheating on Sandra for years. To add insult to injury, Jesse slammed Sandra in the media saying that she never made him feel loved. He moved on to tattoo star Kat Von D, but she would later say that Jesse cheated on her as well. It's safe to say that when Sandra walked away from this one, she dodged a bullet and is now enjoying the mommy life.

4 Jordin Sparks And Jason Derulo

These two former lovebirds weren't shy about their budding romance, and fans were quick to jump on the bandwagon. The singers seemed to be making beautiful music together and we were all looking forward to a Jason and Jordin wedding, especially since the two had been together for three years. Unfortunately our hearts were broken along with Jordin's when Jason decided that he no longer wanted to be with her. She's publicly said that he dumped her over the phone and, after picking up the pieces, she moved on with her life. It was confusing because Jason had just written a song about how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Jordin, but we guess he had a change of heart once he realized how long that actually was. He mentioned in interviews that the pressure to get married was too much for him.

3 Elizabeth Hurley And Hugh Grant

Actress and model Elizabeth Hurley and actor Hugh Grant were together for 13 years, and while they never got married, everyone treated them like relationship royalty. It all came crashing down when Hugh was embarrassingly arrested for soliciting prostitute Divine Brown. No one could understand why he would ever need to cheat on Liz, and like others, she tried to stand by her man. They stayed together for two years after his cheating scandal but parted ways. The pair remained good friends to the point of Hugh becoming godfather to Liz's son Damian. Talk about being able to have healthy relationships with people who did you wrong. Liz later married Indian textile heir Arun Nayar, but four years later divorced him, citing his behavior as "unreasonable."

2 Tiki Barber And Ginny Cha

Rihanna sings about being a savage, and Tiki Barber exemplifies exactly what that means. The ex-giants football star was married to pregnant wife Ginna Cha for 11 years when he broke up with her. The couple already had two sons and were expecting twins when Tiki made the decision to move on. He hadn't made it much of a secret that he had a hot, blonde, 23-year-old girlfriend, and he couldn't wait to get rid of his relationship baggage. The divorce was long and bitter but eventually settled. Double savage? Tiki and his mistress boo Traci Lynn Johnson married only eight days after his divorce to Ginny was finalized. Let's hope for Traci's sake history doesn't repeat itself and hopefully Ginny can find someone who won't drop her for a newer model.

1 Kevin Federline And Shar Jackson

Shar Jackson had a successful career as an actress when she met dancer Kevin Federline. If you don't recognize Shar's name, you'll know her as best friend Niecy on the hit show "Moesha" with singer Brandy. The two were together for three years and while Shar was pregnant with their second child, Kevin jumped ship and moved on to Britney Spears. Their relationship was played out in the media for all to see and Shar had no problem letting everyone that the pop diva stole her man. Since then they've all made peace with Shar and Kevin even doing "Celebrity Fit Club" together. He apologized to her on national television and have been co-parenting to the best of their abilities. Kevin has two more kids with Brit-Brit, and two other with his current wife, Victoria Prince.
