Keeping receipts in the form of text messages is a popular way to defend yourself against false claims that might be detrimental to your reputation.
However, such receipts can also be used against you, especially those that might expose your deepest and darkest secrets.
One must always be careful when getting too personal while talking to someone via text messages, because this could, once again, be used as a receipt against you.
Celebrities know this all too well, yet seem to never learn their lessons, as such text messages have been exposed against their will on several infamous occasions.
1. Jason Sudeikis’ text insulting Olivia Wilde
The nanny who was caught in the middle of Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde’s break-up exposed text exchanges shedding light on their highly mediatized divorce.
In one text to the nanny, Jason reportedly wrote: “She left, she just left,” to which the nanny, who took care of son Otis, eight, and daughter Daisy, six, asked: “I don’t get it. Before bed?”
The actor answered: “She left them. Wide awake. Sitting in Daisy’s bed.
“After shaming me for going to Kansas and not wearing a mask.”
He continued: “I’m in shock. This is Crazy. She just left them.”
Jason and Olivia’s split had a messy timeline back in 2020, as Olivia Wilde’s relationship with Harry Styles soon began just months after their break-up.
Despite the actress claiming differently, the nanny’s text showed that the separation wasn’t a mutual decision.
“He was just out of control crying,” the nanny told the Daily Mail.
“I didn’t know what to say. He was just crying and crying and saying he was going to get her back and he loved her. He was so brokenhearted – I felt for him.”
The nanny went on to share more text message exchanges between her and Jason in which he described Olivia as a “mess” for dating Harry.
A text from the actor read: “She’s embarrassed. And not living in the real world. And we are a part of that real world.”
2. Kim Kardashian And Kanye West
Kim Kardashian claimed that her ex-husband, Kanye West, continuously criticized her looks after their divorce.
Ye, as he is now known, allegedly told her she looked like Marge Simpson when she wore a brown leather dress to the 2021 WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards.
Kim also claimed Ye told her he was “so mad” when he saw her wearing a certain orange outfit on another occasion, as he allegedly texted: “I would have went to jail before I went out in that.”
3. Adam Levine DMs to Sumner Stroh
Last year, Adam Levine was exposed in alleged Instagram direct messages to model Sumner Stroth.
Sumner had initially posted a TikTok alleging that she had had a yearlong affair with the singer.
After their communication ended, NBC News reported that Adam allegedly asked Sumner if he could name his child after her.
Adam was expecting his third child with model Behati Prinsloo at the time, to whom he has been married since 2014.
A screenshot of the Maroon 5 member was subsequently exposed, where he had allegedly written “I may need to see the booty”.
4. Tory Lanez’s apology text to Megan Thee Stallion
Last year, ahead of a February 23 pretrial hearing, Megan Thee Stallion posted screenshots of Tory Lanez apologizing to her.
She was reportedly left obliged to call out DJ Akademiks for “spreading false narratives” concerning the July 2020 incident where Tory allegedly shot Megan in the foot.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, the rapper reportedly pressed Tory with screenshots of texts between the two following the shooting.
Damning screenshots showed Tory apologizing for his actions and acknowledging that “I was just too drunk.”
“Lie yo way out of this …” Megan had written in the caption, adding: “if you aint do shit what was you apologizing for?”
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office reportedly charged Tory with felony assault in October 2020.
5. Tiger Woods cheating
In 2009, the golf scene saw one of its biggest scandal playouts, as Tiger Woods was caught cheating.
At the time, Tiger was the world’s number 1 golfer, married to Swedish model Elin Nordegren, and the beloved father to two children.
But then, all fell apart when the National Enquirer published a bombshell exposé claiming that Tiger had an extramarital affair with New York City nightclub manager Rachel Uchitel.
During the same year, the at-the-time 24-year-old cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs revealed she had had an affair with the golfer for three years.
Jaimee went on to leak a text exchange between herself and Tiger.
“Hey, Sexy I can’t come out this week. Something came up family-wise,” the golfer wrote, to which Jaimee replied: “That’s okay I hope everything is fine … would have liked to see you.”
Tiger went on to answer: “We will make it happen.”
“Are u leaving me cause your wife is still in newport 🙁 I am lonely now … i like falling asleep in your arms,” another message written to Tiger read.
