8. Katy Perry – Post Russell Brand
Katy Perry is an awesome example of not letting a bad break-up bring her down in any way, shape or form. Her high-profile relationship with Russell Brand was one to remember, considering their really outgoing personalities. Perhaps, it was the fame that just put their personalities on blast. That is what the comedian probably meant when he admitted he couldn’t stand the spotlight while dating the singer, in a trailer for his new documentary, BRAND: A Second Coming. During the trailer, the 40 year-old confesses, “Oh my f***** God. I’m living like this life of the very thing I detest: vapid, vacuous celebrity.” He certainly didn’t hold back his feelings while reminiscing his marriage to the “Roar” singer and believes it was the fame that inevitably led to their divorce.
The couple was married for 14 months before they split in 2012. Perry, on the other hand, didn’t necessarily blame Hollywood for her failed marriage with the funny man, but instead, believed it was his inability to accept her as an “equal,” as she told Vogue in 2013. “He didn’t like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour,” she said. The two bitterly went their separate ways but their messy downfall didn’t get in the way of Katy’s game. Although, the performer was open about her feelings towards the break-up in her own documentary, Katy Perry: Part of Me, she still managed to use her catchy music to express all her emotions. She looked good doing it, considering her style was still killing the game wearing this gorgeous funky outfit, seen above, at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
7. Naya Rivera – Post Big Sean
Another celeb who hasn’t let her past fail her is Glee star, Naya Rivera. She got engaged to then boyfriend Big Sean, but later he broke off the engagement. The relationship and split were anything but low-key. The two had met through social media when the actress started following the rapper on Twitter. Eventually, the two met and started dating in which they claim their relationship was just like any other regular relationship out there. Although, the couple believed they blended in with other normal relationships, they are in the spotlight so their split was pretty public.
Also through social media, the two decided to take their break-up online. Rivera tweeted “@bigsean stealing Rolexes from a lady’s house now. Maybe cuz I’m on Glee and making more money or something #triflin.” In response to his ex’s accusation, the “Blessings” rapper told Complex Magazine,“I felt like it was unnecessary drama cause in my eyes it wasn’t true. I wasn’t surprised by it. Even though I didn’t steal anything, I wasn’t surprised by it.” Later that year, his single “I Don’t F*ck With You” came out and obviously rumors that the song was about the brunette began spreading. Regardless if the song was aimed towards her or not, Rivera eventually moved on and married Ryan Dorsey and now has a son with him. She’s been looking happy ever since the nasty split from the rapper.
