Here are 14 times celebs called each other out for shady social media comments:

THE COMMENT: Then, she brought up "Jersey Shore" star Snooki Polizzi unprompted, adding, "Then they sold out and all credibility went to shit when 'style over substance' and 'revenue over authenticity' went into play. That's when Snooki became acceptable coverage. Give me a fucking break..."

THE COMEBACK: Clarifying that she'd meant to criticize the magazine rather than Simpson herself, Portman commented, "Thank you for your words. I completely agree with you that a woman should be allowed to dress however she likes and behave however she likes and not be judged. I only meant to say I was confused as a girl coming of age in the public eye around the same time by the media's mixed messages about how girls and women were supposed to behave."
