You often can't be famous without ruffling a few feathers, and the Kardashian-Jenner clan has engaged in their fair share of feuds. While some stars have just made off-the-cuff remarks about the Kardashians, other celebrities have dug their heels in for the long haul. 

Here are some of the famous people who have battled with the Kardashian-Jenner family.

When gossip site The Shade Room posted a photo of Kardashian on Instagram, model Tyson Beckford commented, "Sorry I don’t care for it personally. She’s not real, doctor f----- up on her right hip."

Beckford’s comment, which some called body-shaming, was met with a response from Kardashian that some have called homophobic for its insinuation that Beckford is gay.

"Sis we all know why you don’t care for it," she wrote.

File this one "under feuds that won’t die." Back in 2016, Kim Kardashian shared a nude selfie on social media that would ultimately launch a thousand feuds. Actress Chloë Grace Moretz was one of the first celebrity to speak up, tweeting, "I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies."

Kardashian came back hard at Moretz with a tweet that seemed designed to encourage her followers to target the actress. She also made a subtle dig that recognized the hypocrisy of the actress’ comment since Moretz had recently appeared nude — if not for a strategically placed jacket — on the cover of Nylon.

"Let's all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to Twitter, since no one knows who she is. Your Nylon cover is cute boo," Kardashian wrote.

Later, Moretz defended her remarks about Kardashian, telling Glamour, "I wasn’t slut-shaming. It’s not about body shaming."

"I saw that photo, and I had to say something. That picture wasn’t linked to body confidence," she said. "It was done in a slightly voyeuristic light, which I felt was a little inappropriate for young women to see ... I would hate for young women to feel they need to post certain photos in order to gain likes, retweets, favorites, and male attention."  

This feud could have been dead and buried, but Kardashian wanted to have the last word. Almost two years after her Twitter run-in with Moretz, Kardashian used the feud as marketing for her newest fragrance.

In a Snapchat video, Kardashian announced she was sending bottles of perfume to both her "lovers" and "haters" for Valentine’s Day and revealed the recipients' names on 36 post-it notes.

The Moretz-Kardashian feud was invoked again in July 2018, when the actress appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" and a viewer called in to ask Moretz what she did with the bottle of perfume Kardashian had sent her:

"Uh, I didn’t even get it, my publicist just took it. I didn’t even open it. I didn’t have it, no, I never saw it," Moretz said.

Bette Midler feuded with Kim.

Kim Kardashian’s nude selfie from March 2016 earned her a lot of attention and plenty of critics. Among them was Bette Midler, who tweeted, "Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today. If Kim wants us to see a part of her we've never seen, she's gonna have to swallow the camera."

Kardashian wasted no time firing back with tweets that wondered if it was past Midler’s bedtime and called the actress a "fake friend." Midler responded by quipping, "Looks like anyone can take a selfie but not everyone can take a joke" and tried to lighten the mood by tweeting her own "nude" photo that encouraged Kardashian to get involved in a charity campaign.

When asked about the incident by People in October 2016, Midler said she doesn’t take what happens on Twitter very seriously.

"I look at it as entertainment. I don’t take it seriously," she said. "It’s easier to write a thought in 140 characters than it is to waffle on for acres and acres and acres of words. If it amuses a few people a couple times a day, great. They shouldn’t look for anything more than that."

Pink vaguely alluded to Kim in a social media post and later confirmed it was about Kim.

Yet another feud born out of Kim’s much-discussed 2016 nude selfie. Pink earned her spot on Kim’s "haters" list after she tweeted out a lengthy message that praised women who used their work ethic and talent rather than their "t--- and a-----." The pop star didn’t name Kim as the target of her post at the time, but she confirmed it was meant for the reality star when she appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" in October 2017.

"Honestly, she went in on Bette Midler, and if you go in on Bette Midler, you're going to hear from me," Pink said. "You just don't talk to Bette Midler about anything."

Sarah Michelle Gellar tweeted her dislike of Kim's Vogue cover.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar took a swing at Kim Kardashian on Twitter in 2014. When Kardashian’s Vogue cover came out, Gellar expressed her disapproval by writing, "Well ... I guess I'm canceling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me?"

Kardashian never directly responded to Gellar, but she included the actress on her list of "lovers" and "haters" and sent her bottle of perfume for Valentine’s Day 2018.

Chelsea Handler got political.

Chelsea Handler has no love for the Kardashians and went so far as to blame the family for Donald Trump’s presidency.

"I blame the Kardashians, personally; the beginning of the end was the Kardashians. The way these people have blown up and don’t go away — it’s surreal. Everyone is for sale," she told Variety in January 2017.

The Kardashians didn’t respond publicly at the time, but on an episode of their reality show that taped a little over a week after Handler’s comments were published, Khloe remarked that Handler "was such a b----." Kim also proved she was keeping score when she listed Handler as one of her "haters" and sent her a bottle of perfume this past February.

Piers Morgan has had a lot to say about the Kardashians.

Piers Morgan rarely has anything nice to say, least of all about the Kardashians. The British media personality is no stranger to feuds, but he seems to revel in reigniting tensions between himself and the family.

Like many of Kim’s feuds, this one dates back to the criticism of her 2016 nude selfie. Morgan made a dig about Kanye West’s rumored debts and offered to buy her some clothes. Kardashian shot back that offering to buy a married woman clothes was "some Ashley Madison type s---."

Since then, Morgan has taken multiple shots at Kim and the entire Kardashian family. He trolled the reality star with his own fragrance after he made her "haters" list and later went on to declare that Kendall Jenner was the "only good looking" member of the family.

It’s no surprise Janice Dickinson’s ended up on Kim’s" haters" list. In 2016, the former model said she wanted to "vomit" when she saw Kim and Kanye’s Vogue cover, adding she didn’t think Kendall Jenner should be called a "supermodel."

"I don’t think she’s a supermodel, I don’t. … Give me a break. You think that’s a supermodel? That is not a supermodel," Dickinson said. "She can’t beat me. She can’t. Apples and oranges."

Naya Rivera wasn't happy about Kim's nudity.

Years before 2016’s nude selfie incident, Kardashian attempted to "break the internet" by posing completely naked for Paper — and Rivera didn’t like it one bit.

"I normally don't. But … you're someone's mother …" Rivera wrote in the comments of Kardashian’s Instagram post. Kim didn’t respond to the "Glee" actress at the time, but four years later she was still holding a grudge and named Rivera as one of her "haters."

Wendy Williams never hesitates to say what she’s thinking, especially if there’s a Kardashian involved. Over the years, Williams has made plenty of unprovoked comments about the family, but it was the talk show host’s comments regarding Kim’s robbery in Paris that likely earned Williams a spot as one of Kim’s many "haters."

"I would hope that she's not making any part of this up for dramatic effect," Williams said on her show in 2016. "Because this family, you know, they're kind of soulless, so you can't believe everything that you hear, but this is very, very upsetting."

Taylor Swift had major issues with Kim and Kanye.

Kim essentially inherited her feud with Taylor Swift when she married Kanye West, even though things were pretty quiet until February 2016. You’ll recall that’s when West released the song "Famous," which contained the lyric "I made that b---- famous." Swift had some major issues being called a b----, even though West claimed she’d given him her blessing when he spoke to her about the song’s lyrical content.

Days later, Swift took home Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards and made an impressive speech that seemed to be aimed at her ongoing beef with West. That’s when Kardashian jumped head-first into the feud. Kardashian upped the ante by telling GQ that not only had Swift given West permission to use the lyrics, their entire conversation had been recorded. About a month later, Kardashian released the video on Snapchat. Swift was heard telling the rapper she thought the lyrics were "like a compliment" and the video seemed to prove that Swift had been lying. Swift fought back with her now-iconic statement asking to be "excluded from this narrative" and saying that though she heard some of the song, she didn't hear him call her that name. 

It’s important to remember all of this went down in the spring and summer of 2016, but the stars have yet to reconcile. Swift’s latest album, "Reputation" was released November 2017 and contained tons of references to her feud with Kim and Kanye. She also embraced the snake as her new spirit animal after Kardashian fans littered Swift’s Instagram comments with the snake emoji. While Kim fanned the flames of feud again in February this past year by sending Swift a bottle of her perfume, Swift again invoked the never-ending feud during the opening night show of her "Reputation" tour in May.

"Someone called me a snake on social media and it caught on," she told the crowd at the University of Phoenix Stadium. "And then a lot of people called me a lot of names on social media, and I went through some really low times for a while because of it."

Everything about Blac Chyna’s feud with the Kardashian family is incredibly messy. Though Chyna was once on good terms with the family, that all changed when Kylie Jenner started dating Tyga, who is Chyna’s ex and the father of her son.

Jenner and Chyna had been trading blows on social media for months before Chyna started dating Jenner's brother, Rob Kardashian, in January 2016. After two months of dating, the pair became engaged and soon announced they were expecting a child together in. Once Chyna was pregnant, the feud was put on hold and the Kardashians appeared to welcome her into the fold.

When Chyna gave birth to daughter Dream Kardashian in November 2016, everything soon began to fall apart. Rob and Chyna split and reconciled multiple times before Rob posted a series of explicit images of Chyna on Instagram and accused her of doing drugs and cheating on him. Chyna alleged that Rob had physically assaulted her and was granted a temporary restraining order against him.

Months later, Chyna sued the entire Kardashian family over claims that the family interfered with the filming of "Rob & Chyna" and caused the network to cancel the show. A judge ultimately dismissed the case and the bad blood between Chyna and the Kardashian family continues.

Sharon Osbourne had some issues with Kim's selfies.

In September 2017, Sharon Osbourne scoffed at the idea that Kim’s sexy selfies could be considered an empowering feminist act.

"If Kim wants to show off her body, fine. But that’s not feminism, that’s being a ho. And there’s nothing wrong with being a ho, but always remember what you are," she told The Telegraph.

When asked about the comments by E! News, Kardashian claimed she never made a comment about posting nude photos in the name of feminism and said she thought Osbourne looked "stupid" for misquoting her.

Days later, Osbourne responded on her show "The Talk" by calling the situation "ridiculous" and claimed her comments about Kardashian had been misquoted, but said she stood by the sentiment.

"[The interviewer] asked my opinion and I gave it. It wasn’t rude. She poses nude, she’s very sexual in her clothes, and even her everyday clothes, it’s very sexual," Osbourne said. "Whatever she does she’s showing her body, which shows she’s a strong, grounded woman and she’s not ashamed of her body."

She added, "It doesn’t make you a feminist, it makes you someone who is a strong person, and confident with their body and wants to show it. But, that’s not a feminist."

Amber Rose beefed with Khloe and temporarily had a truce with Kim.

Here’s another feud the Kardashian family inherited, at least in part thanks to Kanye West. The rapper dated Amber Rose before he got together with Kim Kardashian, but the drama started in 2012 when Rose called Kim a "homewrecker" and named her as one of the reasons she and West were no longer together.

While West had his own feud with his ex, Rose began another feud with the Kardashians when she publicly lambasted rapper Tyga for dating Kylie Jenner, who was underage at the time.

"Kylie’s a baby… It’s ridiculous. Tyga should be ashamed of himself," Rose, who is BFF’s with Tyga’s ex Blac Chyna, said a radio interview with "The Breakfast Club." "That’s how I feel, for sure. He has a beautiful woman and a baby that he left for a 16-year-old who just turned 17."

Khloe Kardashian responded in a series of tweets that reminded everyone Rose used to be a stripper and asked her to stop talking about her family in interviews. Rose responded by calling Kim a "whore."

In February 2016, it seemed that Kim had called a truce when she shared a photo of herself and Rose, which she captioned "Tea anyone?"

The following month, Rose even defended Kim while other celebrities piled on the criticism for the nude selfie the reality star tweeted. "People think me and Kim are arch enemies and we're not," Rose told  "Nightline."  "We literally text each other all the time. We're very, like, positive towards each other."

Whatever goodwill existed between Rose and the Kardashians appeared to have evaporated by June 2016, when Rose told the New York Daily News, "But let's face it. The only reason these girls have a career is because their older sister had a little fun on tape."
