The Seriously Shady Side Of Charlize Theron

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)"
