Although she's one of the most respected and
decorated actresses in Hollywood, Charlize Theron's career hasn't been without its hiccups. She's feuded with costars, snubbed other celebrities,
and generated more than her fair share of tabloid headlines. Here's a look at the seriously shady side
of Charlize Theron. Ghost stories For awhile, Theron and Sean Penn were one
of the weirdest power couples in Hollywood. Then, according to Us Weekly, Theron reportedly
ghosted Penn at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, a claim that spawned a whole national conversation
about the concept of ghosting itself. When she finally broke her silence on the
breakup, Theron told WSJ Magazine those reports were hooey. "When you leave a relationship there has to
be some f**king crazy story or some crazy drama. And the f**king ghosting thing, like literally,
I still don't even know what it is… We were in a relationship and then it didn't
work anymore. And we both decided to separate. That's it." Their awkward reunion at the 2016 Cannes Film
Festival to promote a film they'd worked together on the year before just got tongues wagging
even more — but only the two of them know what really happened. Zach Galifianakis probably could have told
Penn what a heartbreaker she is. "The image of me and you… like like… me naked in a pool, with like
a fat garden gnome like.. hahaha." She feuded with Tom Hardy Theron has been more than open about the feud
that erupted with co-star Tom Hardy on the set of the 2015 Oscar-winning thriller Mad
Max: Fury Road, telling Esquire magazine in April 2015 that they "f**kin' went at it"
on set and "drove each other crazy." Director George Miller told WSJ Magazine that
it was just a natural byproduct of their intense on-screen relationship. "I'm not saying that they were seething right
through, but the trajectory of the characters can't help but seep into the work. When they first meet each other, they're trying
to kill each other. As the two characters come together out of
necessity and rather reluctantly, they have to find a degree of trust. And to some extent that was the trajectory
of [Charlize and Tom's] relationship as well." Her rivalry with Angelina Jolie runs deep Theron's Hollywood feuds allegedly extend
to Angelina Jolie as well, with the tension supposedly stemming from roles that the actresses
have fought over, including the remakes of Murder on the Orient Express and Bride of
Frankenstein. A source told Radar, "The hate fest between
these two started a long time ago and just won't stop. It's as though directors are getting a buzz
out of playing them against each other, by dangling a script to both of them then leaving
them to b**ch and slug it out." She was sued for $20 million In February 2007, Theron was slapped with
a shocking $20 million lawsuit for breach of contract after she allegedly wore a watch
by Christian Dior to an event while she was contractually obligated to exclusively wear
watches designed by Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil. They were further enraged when a billboard
at a Swiss trade show featured Theron wearing a watch by rival Montblanc. According to the New York Daily News, Weil
claimed the incidents "demonstrate a total disregard by [Theron] for any of her obligations
under the agreement." After settling the suit, Theron became a spokesperson
for Dior watches. Ouch! She squabbled with Tobey Maguire Although it doesn't sound as intense as her
time on Mad Max: Fury Road, Theron has admitted that she also went at it with co-star Tobey
Maguire on the set of the 1999 movie The Cider House Rules. The Oscar-winning actress told V Magazine,
"Tobey and I had a bit of a rough time, yeah. I mean, we're good now. It was a difficult movie. Whether it's the weather, or the writing isn't
there, or you don't get along with your castmate, you have to be able to go to something else
that's just as powerful. Does it make it as enjoyable? Probably not. I mean, there were just a couple of days that
Tobey and I had a rough time. The rest of the movie, we actually had a really
good time." While she went on to declare that she loves
Maguire, she also saved room for a not-so-subtle dig. "I'm kind of glad we had that experience on
that movie. It teaches you different things. It taught me that I could fall in love with
somebody in my head while looking at someone else." Spin control Memo to those who take SoulCycle spin classes
with Theron: you probably shouldn't approach her and say hello. Actress and reality TV star Tia Mowry allegedly
learned this the hard way, telling InTouch "She wasn't very nice to me. I said, 'Hi,' and she actually rolled her
eyes and said, 'Oh my God.' "I wasn't over-the-top. I know how to approach another celebrity. Charlize was just mean. I'm just being honest." Mowry later backtracked on her
comments. "I don't know Charlize. Um.. It was all blown out of proportion. I respect her I think she is amazing, she's
wonderful." However, a source told InTouch that after
switching gyms, Theron was was continuing her diva antics at the new location too. "She always arrives late to class with a scowl
on her face and has the nerve to ask people who are already settled on their bikes to
switch. She always causes a scene. People know to steer clear of her!" "No...no, I don't like these people" "I have to leave." Hey, they don't call her Furiosa for nothing. "(scream)" Thanks for watching! Click the Nicki Swift icon to subscribe to
