What’s going on Youtube, I'm your host joce, welcome back to top 10 beyond the screen.
You can find us outside of this screen by giving us a follow on our social media pages,
they are linked below.
And make sure you stick around until the end of this video to join in on some fun when
I handpick some comments and respond to them.
We’ve all gone through a heartbreak right?
Probably more than 1.
Nothing sucks more than getting dumped, actually, that’s not true.
Getting dumped through a text message sucks more.
And believe it or not, this happens to celebrities too; they really are just like us in some
ways.
Let’s check out some times this happened to them with today’s list of Top 10 Celebrities
Who Were Dumped Via Text.
10) Starting off the list at number 10 is Katy Perry.
This one was more than just a breakup; the pop star was married to Russell Brand for
14 months before receiving a text message saying that it was over.
Not only did they end via text but his message was actually sent to let her know that he
was filing for a DIVORCE.
During an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, she told the story saying: let’s just say
I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me on December
31, 2011.
Cold Russell, very cold.
He tried to make things better by casually wishing her good luck on her Superbowl performance
a few years later.
He wished her luck on Twitter, which just offended her more than anything.
A friend of hers told The Daily Mail: she couldn’t believe he’d say that after everything
he put her through.
This was the man who, quite literally, destroyed her heart.
He slagged her off publicly around the world.
Yup, but most importantly he ended their marriage through a TEXT.
9) Up next at number 9 is Charlie Sheen.
Is it bad if I don’t feel bad that he made it on this list?
I’m still shocked that someone would even date him in the first place to be honest.
But hey, to each their own.
Turns out he got dumped via text back in 2011 by his girlfriend, porn star Bree Olson.
Well his number 1 girlfriend that is, they were in an open 3 way relationship with Natalie
Kenly.
Both girls had joined him on his tour but during his show in Fort Lauderdale he answered
a fan’s question about how he and his two goddesses were doing.
He responded by saying: not well, because one left.
Turns out she had enough and left the tour but sent him a quick text before doing so.
Because that’s the respectful thing to do, obviously.
8) Coming in at number 8 is Lindsay Lohan.
Remember when Lindsay dated Samantha Ronson back in 2009?
The DJ?
Well word on the street is that Sam dumped her via text because she was such a hot mess
at the time.
Reports say that the two girls had a pretty nasty argument which led to the final text
message that ended the whole thing.
We aren’t sure what the heated fight was about, but E News reported that the text message
said, I quote: go find someone else.
You make me effing sick to my stomach.
If you come anywhere near me or my house, i’ll make you wish you hadn’t.
That’s all I have to say.
You’re disgusting.
Only a few days later Lindsay appeared to be putting on a brave face and tweeted out:
I love being alone.
Feels safe coz I can only trust myself.
Ya, sad.
But I’m cool with it.
I feel that Lindsay, same girl.
Same.
7) Sliding into number 7 is Simon Cowell.
It might be a little surprising to hear that he was dumped via text and not the other way
around, I just feel like breaking up with someone in text is totally something he would
do.
I don’t know why, he just seems like that type.
Regardless of my own personal judgement though, back in 2008 he revealed that his ex-girlfriend,
Terri Seymour, ended things with him via text.
Rumours were swirling when they first split, claiming that he gave her a 5 million dollar
breakup parting gift, but he set everything straight during an interview with Extra.
He said that there is no way that was true because she was the one who ended things and
it was done in text message.
However, he didn’t have anything bad to say about her or about the texted break up.
He actually insisted that they remained as best friends afterwards.
Can’t say that I would have had a similar reaction, I might need to give this man more
credit.
6) At number 6 is Jessica Simpson.
We all know that for a long time she was hitched to the 98 Degrees singer, Nick Lachey, so
you may have forgotten or never realized that she briefly dated Adam Levine.
I don’t know if we can say dating but they had a little fling, ya, let’s call it a
fling.
It was back in 2004 when they were spotted getting cozy one night while partying with
a group of friends.
A source who was at the Sunset Marquis Hotel where they were partying, told the New York
Daily News: Jessica and Adam were very close in the booth, and she kept putting her hand
on his leg.
It was obvious that something weird was going on.
A few days later, Adam was talking about how he and Jessica had gotten it on in the hotel
that night.
Apparently it was just kind of a fling.
But not too long after that Elle reported that they had split and it was all on Adam’s
terms.
Turns out he ended things with a text message that had only 4 words to it.
4 WORDS.
They were, drum roll please, Really busy.
Need space.
Prick.
5) Half way through the list at number 5 is Perrie Edwards.
The English singer started dating One Direction’s Zayn Malik when they both appeared on The
X Factor.
They were together from 2011 until 2015 and even got engaged for 2 years, so when they
ended via text, it was breaking off wedding plans too.
He first announced that he was leaving the One Direction band and not long after that
it was announced that they had split.
But their relationship was having hardships as Perrie stuck by him even though he was
seen holding hands with another woman.
But, he clearly wanted out and the best way to do that in his mind was through a text
message.
That is so messed up.
She later spoke about the split saying: it was horrible, the worst time in my life.
A 4-year relationship, two-year engagement, ended by a simple text message.
Just like that.
Worst part is, she was busy with work and received the text as she was about to walk
through airport security.
So she had to sit through her entire flight after reading it.
What a nightmare.
4) Here we are now at number 4 with Kevin Federline.
This guy faced a double whammy when he was dumped by his wife, Britney Spears.
Why was it a double whammy?
Well for 1, she ended their marriage via text message, and 2, he received the text while
on camera.
It was back in 2006 when he was filming an episode for the reality show called Exposed.
A camera crew from Much Music was following him around, and he spent the episode talking
about how strong his relationship with Britney was.
Which is what made things even more awkward when he received a text saying that wanted
a divorce.
They were married for 2 years and had 2 sons together at that time.
Kevin was so thrown off guard and it all happened really fast; the split was finalized in 2007
and they’ve been co-parenting ever since.
3) Alright guys, at number 3 is Kim Kardashian.
I know she’s had a lot of husbands so it’s hard to keep up, but back in the day she dated
football player Reggie Bush.
They were a cute couple and dated for 2 years but Reggie called it quits and he did it through
text message.
If Kim K can get dumped via text then I really have no chance at finding love.
Not only did he end it through a text message but he used the classic line: it’s not you,
it’s me.
Reggie was 25 at the time and Kim was 29; it was said that she received the texts while
she was in Miami.
Turns out he actually sent 3 text messages, where he tried to explain that he needed some
time and space to himself.
But then he finished it off with a bang saying it’s not you, it’s me.
I literally hate that.
Don’t ever say that to me in a breakup.
Say anything else but that, tell me I’m ugly I don’t care, anything but that.
2) In spot number 2 is Jennifer Aniston.
Totally forgot that at one point in time she was cozied up with John Mayer.
The two of them dated on and off from 2008-2009 and after their split, fans started to claim
that his song Heartbreak Warfare was about her.
However, he quickly set the record straight and said that it’s not true and said that
Jennifer is the sweetest, kindest person.
The two of them had issues regarding social media apparently; Jennifer felt that he used
his Twitter too much and people thought that's why they broke up.
During an interview he spoke on that saying: that wasn’t it, but that was a big difference.
The brunt of her success came before TMZ and Twitter.
I think she’s still hoping it goes back to 1998.
She saw my involvement in technology as courting distraction.
And I always said, these are the new rules.
Turns out, it wasn’t Jen who ended things though.
Jennifer tells the story saying he had a 20 minute phone call conversation with her where
he said: I can’t take it anymore, and hung up.
Then he sent her a quick text saying: that’s it- the end.
Well, simple and straight to the point I guess.
1)Taking the number 1 spot on our list is Ariana Grande.
Take the texting part out of it, how does someone break up with Ariana Grande in the
first place?
That’s absurd.
She openly talked about the time she got dumped via text when she did an interview with Complex
magazine.
She said the worst ways he’s ever been broken up with was when her ex Jai Brooks ended things
in a text.
Not only that, but he did it at like the worst most insensitive time ever.
During her interview she said: 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.
Uhhh, talk about stage fright I would’ve been a complete mess.
But of course, Ari handled it like a boss.
Well, that’s all I got for you guys.
Give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and tell me if you’ve ever been dumped
via text.
I actually haven’t been dumped via text but I dumped someone in a text.
I was an asshole, and we were young.
I’m not proud of it, don’t judge me.
