Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin
Hell hath no fury like a teenage superfan. Hailey Baldwin found that out the hard way when Beliebers and hard-core Jelena (Justin + Selena) fans refused to accept that the singer moved on from Selena Gomez. Selena's album, Rare, which touches on her on-again, off-again relationship with Justin, didn't help. Selena's fanbase trolled the newlyweds, prompting her to post a message online urging her followers to be nice to the Biebers.

Harry Styles and Tess Ward
Honestly, this should read "Harry Styles and Anyone Ever," as he is known to have one of the most protective fanbases on the internet. So when eagle-eyed fans spotted British chef/blogger Tess Ward wearing Harry's Gucci button-down at a charity event, things heated up amongst the Stylers.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd
This time, it wasn't Jelena supporters that came for the relationship (although they weren't too pleased either). It was fans of The Weeknd's relationship with Bella Hadid that weren't pleased. But his fanbase changed their tune when the singer released a ton of popular music about how the Rare singer broke his heart. Great music > relationship status.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes
Fans who hoped Ryan Gosling would rekindle his relationship with his The Notebook costar, Rachel McAdams, were left with little to no hope when the actor got together with Eva Mendes in 2011.

Timothée Chalamet fans are pretty savvy at tracking down his new love interests (sure, the paparazzi helps too). So when the actor was spotted laying on poolside PDA with Eiza González post-split with Lily-Rose Depp, the consensus online was that Club Chalamet was not a fan.
