Posted 26 minutes ago"Rocked Me To My Core": People Are Sharing The Most "Haunting" And "Bizarre" Pop Culture Moments Of 2025"You couldn't write something like that."by Stephanie SoteriouBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestLink As 2025 draws to a close, it's only natural that people will be looking back on the past 12 months - so it's no surprise that when a Reddit user asked: "What was the biggest/most shocking/craziest celebrity moment of 2025?" everybody practically sprinted to the comment section. What followed was a wild recap of the year's most unhinged pop-culture chaos. So, let's take that walk down memory lane together! 1. "It has to be the fake space trip when everyone thought Gayle King was going to die, but instead, Katy Perry's marriage imploded, and now she's with Justin Trudeau. You couldn't write something like that." -Ok-Software-3458 CBS If you need reminding, a bunch of famous women - including Katy Perry and Gayle King - briefly ventured into space back in April in association with billionaire Jeff Bezos. It was a seriously misguided stunt, with other celebrities like Olivia Wilde and Emily Ratajkowski speaking out against it. Sergione Infuso - Corbis / Getty Images The entire trip lasted a total of 11 minutes, with the women only spending around four minutes in actual space. Katy sparked ridicule for singing a song and promoting her tour while up there, and was further mocked when she kissed the ground upon her return to Earth. CBS Then, less than three months later, Katy was in the headlines again when she and Orlando Bloom confirmed they had split after nine years together. And if that wasn't enough news for 2025, later that same month, she was romantically linked to former prime minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, a relationship that was seriously hard-launched earlier this month. Whew!カナダのトルドー前首相(@JustinTrudeau)がパートナーと来日され、私たち夫妻と昼食をご一緒しました。総理時代には首相同士何度もお会いし、カナダ訪問時には「日加アクションプラン」の策定など、二国間関係強化に共に汗をかいた仲です。こうして交友を続けられていることを嬉しく思います。 pic.twitter.com/t9RkbMyip5- 岸田文雄 (@kishida230) December 4, 2025 X @kidisha230 / Via Twitter: @kishida230 2. "D4vd having that young girl's body found in his Tesla rocked me to my core." -littlehulky Scott Dudelson / Getty Images At the end of August, authorities reportedly found human remains in an impounded car registered to musician d4vd - real name David Anthony Burke. The remains were identified as missing California teen Celeste Rivas, you can read more about the story here. Joshua Applegate / Getty Images 3. "It's not the most shocking after the year we've had, but when Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley began dating... My mouth absolutely dropped." -GracefulManatea Emma Mcintyre / Getty Images If it wasn't for Katy and Justin, it's fair to say that Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley would be the most shocking celebrity couple of the year, with the two randomly hard-launching their relationship with a kissing photo back in April. It caught people off guard because they're a pretty unlikely duo; Liz is a British actor and model, while Billy Ray is an American country music star. He'd also just recently ended his rocky marriage to singer Firerose in 2024.

"Emilia Pérez was this year? My personal concept of time is all out of whack." -NachosAndGnocchi Netflix While Emilia Pérez was actually released on Netflix last year, the Karla Sofía Gascón X scandal kicked off in January. If you need reminding, this is when journalist Sarah Hagi unearthed a whole host of seriously problematic tweets that the movie's star, Karla, sent between 2020 until as recently as this year. Pablo Cuadra / Getty Images The tweets were posted in Karla's native Spanish, but the translations were incredibly damning, with Karla repeatedly expressing anti-Muslim sentiment, targeting diversity at the Oscars, and even making some wildly offensive statements about George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement. Another tweet that was widely circulated saw Karla take aim at her Emilia Pérez costar Selena Gomez, who she reportedly called a "rich rat." Natasha Campos / Getty Images Prior to this scandal, Karla had been a hot contender to win the Best Actress Oscar, but Netflix ended up cutting ties with her and refused to fund her appearance at the ceremony or any other events for Emilia Pérez. While Karla still attended (although she skipped the red carpet), she did not win the award, which ultimately went to Mikey Madison. Rich Polk / Getty Images 5. "I'll never get over how freaking cheap looking the Bezos wedding was. That carpeting! Those invites! Her dress!" -StasRutt Marco Bertorello / Getty Images Back in June, billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez got married after more than six years together, and the whole thing was riddled with controversy. But amid all of the criticism, many were just stunned by the style
