10 famous family feuds that revealed issues at celeb homes

Families feuding is not something unusual. But when it comes to celebrities, everything becomes news, even their issues at home and the dynamics they share with their relatives. Below is the list of ten such celebrities whose family feuds made headlines over the years.

1. Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough

The death of Lisa Marie Presley was devastating for her family but what was more shocking was Lisa’s mother Priscilla and her daughter Riley fighting for the late singer’s estate. About the drama, the 34-year-old daughter of Lisa reportedly said, “When my mom passed, there was a lot of chaos in every aspect of our lives. Everything felt like the carpet had been ripped out and the floor had melted from under us. Everyone was in a bit of a panic to understand how we move forward, and it just took a minute to understand the details of the situation, because it’s complicated."

2. Miley Cyrus family rift

The Cyrus family has reportedly now been divided into two parts after Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus decided to live separate lives in 2022. Soon after that, a mole reportedly claimed that the divorce “put a strain on [Miley's] relationship with her dad and it's been hard to connect with him in the last year. She hopes they can eventually work on their relationship.” Not only that but other children of Tish and Billy have also chosen their sides.

3. Meghan and Thomas Markle

Meghan Markle’s relationship with her father Thomas Markle reportedly got fully damaged when it was disclosed that he staged pictures taken by paparazzi before the 2018 royal wedding despite claiming  earlier that he hated the limelight.

4. Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight

Angelina Jolie does not reportedly share a good relationship with her father, Jon Voight. The actress is the second child of Marcheline Bertrand and Voight, who got married in 1971. But soon after Jolie’s birth, they separated because of Voight’s infidelity. “Jon Voight was a terrible father to her back then. He cheated on her mother. Marcheline was broken-­hearted. She told me Jon had emotionally abused her,” a family pal reportedly once shared.

5. Julia and Eric Roberts

Julia and Eric Roberts reportedly share a complicated relationship. In 2018, Eric reportedly stated, “I was exhausting to be around: complainy, blamey, unable to enjoy enjoyment. Everyone in my world needed a break sometimes, and that must have included Julia.”

6. Madonna and Christopher Ciccone

Madonna does not have a good relationship with her younger brother, Christopher Ciccone, and it’s apparently because of the singer’s former husband Guy Ritchie. There was a time when they were very close and used to work together. Ciccone was Madonna’s personal assistant before serving her as her concert and tour director. But in 2021, things changed, and later the 63-year-old reportedly revealed, “From the moment I found out that I wasn't doing Drowned World, to her and Guy's wedding, everything became a bit of a blur, a dark, fairly negative period of time for me.”

7. Prince William and Prince Harry

Once a powerful brother duo, Prince William and Prince Harry are believed to have drifted apart. The reasons behind their strained relationship are many but it began to get deeper when the Duke of Sussex decided to leave the royal family for a life in the US with his wife, Meghan Markle.

8. Melania and Ivanka Trump

Donald Trump’s third wife Melania and his daughter Ivanka were reportedly entangled in an “internal power struggle” while the 77-year-old was in power. As per Katie Rogers’ book – ‘American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden’, “[Melania] was aware that her husband had suggested that his eldest daughter would be helping to share the responsibilities of being First Lady, and this was not a development that pleased her."

9. Jay-Z and Solange Knowles

The sister of Beyonce, Solange Knowles, and Jay-Z were reportedly involved in an elevator fight after a 2014 Met Gala afterparty. Later, the trio shared a statement, saying, "As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it.” Also, in 2017, Jay-Z reportedly added, “She's like my sister. I will protect her. That's my sister, not my sister-in-law. My sister. Period.”

10. Jamie Spears and Britney Spears

Britney Spears has a tense relationship with her father, Jamie Spears. In 2008, she was put under a conservatorship, making Jamie her conservator. However, after a long legal fight, the conservatorship ended in November 2021. In June of that year, Britney reportedly disclosed, “The control he had over someone as powerful as me — he loved the control to hurt his own daughter 100,000%. He loved it.”
