Everywhere you turn these days, there seems to be a Hollywood cheating scandal staring right back at you. From the recently-revealed shocking affair between Good Morning America co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes — that story is still developing! — to Kanye West’s possibly manic-induced new allegations that he once caught NBA star Chris Paul with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, it appears half of Tinseltown is having a pretty rough time when it comes to telling their partners the truth nowadays.
Whether for sheer entertainment purposes or simply due to the consequences of dating in the public eye, celebs somehow just can’t seem to get it right when it comes to finding love. Sure, the drama of it all makes for newsworthy content on a lackluster Tuesday night, but something about spending so much time planning out a proper dating announcement post, just to release a statement soon after that spells out the breakup, seems quite redundant. Unfortunately, that appears to be the norm amongst the stars we know and love.

8. JAY-Z & "BECKY"
The general public will probably never be privy to what went down on that elevator after the 2014 Met Gala, or why it even happened in the first place, but the overall themes on Beyoncé’s Lemonade album, 4:44 by Hov and their joint project as The Carters titled Everything Is Love alludes to a slip-up occurring in their picture-perfect household. We’re just glad The ROC didn’t shatter in the process!
