Celebrity drama is always hot, but when stars clap back, it hits different. This year has already brought some savage, hilarious, and totally unexpected responses that blew up social media. From podcast critics to red carpet disrespect, these stars didn’t just respond. They owned the moment.
Let’s get into the top four wildest celebrity clapbacks of 2025 we have witnessed so far:
Kylie Kelce
Celebrity status doesn’t always come with instant respect, especially if your fame is tied to someone else. That is what Kylie Kelce faced when critics questioned her podcast, “Not Gonna Lie.”
The digs came in fast. “Why does she even have a podcast?” and “Who gave her a mic?”
But Kylie didn’t flinch. She laughed it off and clapped back with style. On an episode with TikTok personality Drew Afualo, she said people Googling her name out of hate were only boosting her online presence. “You just gave me more views,” she joked. "Thanks for the clicks!"

Instead of playing victim, Kylie flipped the hate into hype. Her podcast surged in listeners, her social media popped, and she proved you don’t need everyone’s approval to succeed.
Khloé Kardashian
At the 2025 Grammy Awards, something weird went down. Music legend Babyface was in the middle of a red carpet interview when he was suddenly cut off so another celeb could get the spotlight.
Fans were shocked. One person who wasn’t having it wasKhloé Kardashian.
The 40-year-old media mogul took to social media fast, calling the moment “wildly disrespectful.” She reminded everyone who Babyface is, a man who shaped modern R&B. She made it clear that clout-chasing shouldn’t come before honoring real legends.
Jennifer Aydin
“Real Housewives of New Jersey” actress Jennifer Aydin took the phrase “celebrity sighting” to a whole new level at a Jersey Mike’s. What started as a regular sandwich order turned into full-blown chaos. She got into it with an elderly employee and blasted the experience on Instagram.

The clip went viral. People called her out for being rude and out of touch. But Jennifer doubled down. She defended her reaction, saying she was treated poorly. That didn’t help. The internet wasn’t buying it. Even fans were torn.
This clapback showed how quickly things can spiral when a celebrity thinks they're above everyday service. Jennifer became a trending topic, but not for the reasons she hoped.
Spencer Pratt
When wildfires tore through parts of California, Spencer Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, lost their home. He shared the emotional toll online, and some people weren’t kind. Critics accused him of using the tragedy for attention. He could’ve stayed quiet. He didn’t.
Spencer hit back with a clear message. He reminded followers that sharing stories helps others going through the same pain. Then he defended Mandy Moore, who faced similar backlash for promoting a fundraiser. “This isn’t performative,” he said. “It is human.”
Fans rallied behind him. And while some tried to spin it as exploitation, Spencer turned it into a real conversation about grief, support, and what it means to show up.
