We’ve all heard that love is blind, and unfortunately for the male population, so is heartbreak. More often than not, women are on the receiving end of cheating while male victims are seemingly few and far between. Be that as it may, there are some glaring examples in the entertainment world that reflect that cheating knows no gender.
Yesterday’s bitter rants from Rob Kardashian on Twitter got us thinking, if a stud like Rob can be stepped out on (allegedly), how many other of his Hollywood peers have been burned? And his manhood took a mean hit because just one day after alluding to Rita Ora’s promiscuous ways, Rob has let off another round of tweets claiming he wasn’t talking about Rita. Hmm…
Here is a list of 5 male celebrities who have been scorned by the lady in their life.
Kris Humphries
In the eyes of society Kim Kardashian is free as a bird after filing for divorce from her 72-day “marriage,” but she is still legally a married woman.
After Kanye’s now infamous verse on “Way Too Cold,” the twosome started stepping out for the world to see (including Kim’s husband). To add fuel to the fire, Kanye’s lyric that he “fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in love with him” adds to the speculation from Kris’ camp that Kim was stepping out on their union long before she’s admitting. The accusation went as far as to have Yeezy deposed for the divorce proceedings. A cuckold or not, Kris is definitely a scorned man.
Justin Timberlake
Before Bieber and Gomez, America’s favorite pop star couple was Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. But when allegations of infidelity swirled around about Britney Spears and her choreographer Wade Robson, the bubble gum duo were in for one very public and messy split. When Justin’s 2002 solo effort was released (emphasis on solo), he dished on his and Brit’s breakup on the now infamous “Cry Me a River” cut. Timberlake took the ultimate revenge on his blonde Britney look-a-like in the video, bursting Britney’s bubble gum image for good.
Lil’ Scrappy
Most rappers shy away from admitting they are in a relationship, let alone admitting to heartbreak. But “Money in the Bank” rapper Lil Scrappy went against the grain completely on his stint on VH1’s Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. The reality show focused more on Scrappy’s messy love life than his attempt to come back into the rap game. Scrappy confessed to being heartbroken by his ex-girlfriend, fellow rapper Diamond.
According to Scrappy, Diamond and Soulja Boy hooked up while they were still an item and he was left in the proverbial dust. As he continues to try to recover from the breakup, we can probably infer that tear drop tattoo may have taken on a different meaning.
Robert Pattinson
If you weren’t bitten by the Twilight bug, allow me to fill you in on the real life drama of Robert Pattinson and his costar/girlfriend Kristen Stewart.
After many years of dating after meeting on the Twilight set, the two were inseparable until recently when Kristen was caught with her married director of the film Snow White and the Huntsman. All hell broke loose once the paparazzi caught wind of the affair, and Kristen wasn’t seen with her beau for weeks. Kristen even released a public statement apologizing for her infidelity. Robert has since forgiven her and they’ve been strutting red carpets together again.
All is well for the “Twihards”.
Ne-Yo
We all have heard the heartbreaking story about deadbeat dads, but what happens when a man is taking care of a child he believes is his, only to find out that isn’t the case?
Before Ne-Yo was known to the world as the superstar he is, he met and fell in love with a woman named Jessica White. The two had a baby boy named Chimere (Ne-Yo’s middle name). All was well until years later when Jessica told the R&B star that he wasn’t the biological father of the little boy he called his son. Even after the bomb was dropped, Ne-Yo still assumed the father role. In the State of California if a man puts himself out there as the father of a child (even if he isn’t the biological father), he is responsible for child support, so the bad news kept coming.
Thankfully, the “Let Me Love You” singer parlayed his heartbreak into songwriting material and now has a very successful career and a growing family.
