Many celebs have built their careers on the backs of speaking their mind. And by that, we mean controversy.
Drama seems to folow them everywhere as the result of their inability to keep their mouths shut.

These antics are reportedly what led Kim to file for divorce.

She’s one of the most recent celebs to speak thher mind.
Earlier this month, she started beef with a frozen yogurt shop for carrying sugar-free items that are “triggering” to those like her recovering from eating disorders.

After she received backlash for slamming the yogurt shop, she apologized.
4. Martha Stewart
This queen of home cooking isn’t afraid to stir the pot.
When Gwyneth Paltrow started her lifestyle brand, Goop, Stewart took a shot at the actress. “She’s a movie star. If she were confident in her acting, she wouldn’t be trying to be Martha Stewart.”
5. Alec Baldwin
The 30 Rock actor has a history of getting in trouble thanks to his mouth.

Whether she’s outspoken in interviews or her lyrics, Nicki doesn’t back down.
When her “Anaconda” music video wasn’t nominated at the MTV video music awards, she called out MTV for its lack of nominations for women of color.
“If I was a different ‘kind’ of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well,” she tweeted.
When she called out Taylor Swift indirectly, she ended up tweeting her disappointment in Nicki.
7. Lena Dunham
The Girls star has gotten in trouble in the past for speaking her mind.
She caused quite the stir years ago when she said that she no longer wears coverage on her private parts when filming a nude scene.
“I stopped wearing the nude patch after the first season of Girls,” she said in 2017.
“There’s not one guy who works on that show who hasn’t seen the inside of my vagina… This patch — you glue it over your vagina. It gets sweaty and always falls off. My male co-stars, at the end of the day, don’t care.”
8. Katherine Heigl
While she’s cooled down on sharing her inner thoughts, they once ran rampant.
Back when she was on Grey’s Anatomy , she stirred up controversy when she withdrew her name from Emmy consideration by blaming the show’s bad writing.
9. Kelly Clarkson

She once tweeted this during the 2015 VMAs, “Just saw a couple performances from the VMA’s last night. 2 words…. #pitchystrippers.”

She didn’t get where she is today without speaking her mind.

Kim took the shade up a notch when she tweeted, “Wait it’s legit National Snake Day?!?!?”
“They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days!” Yikes. She also included several snake emojis, which caused the internet to join in.

When the actress was left out of a meeting for The View , she reportedly went off on the executives.
