Celebrities might have first-hand experience with discretion, as they are not only trained to keep certain personal information private but also have first-hand knowledge of the importance of privacy.

Nevertheless, celebrities are also human beings with flaws and, sometimes, a memory that might need some caffeine before being put to work.

As a result, some A-listers have become the victim of their inner circle, having some of their deepest secrets revealed for the whole world to see.

Bored Panda takes a look at 10 famous people who accidentally spilled the beans on their fellow celebrities.

#1 Skai Jackon’s Mom Accidentally Confirmed That Zendaya And Tom Holland Were Dating

Actress Skai Jackson’s mom, Kiya Cole, accidentally let it slip that Zendaya and Tom Holland were an item while commenting on an Instagram post featuring the two of them in 2018.

While the original post called Tom her “rumored boyfriend,” Kiya responded back to a fan who questioned their relationship status, Seventeen reported.

“Yes. It’s true. They’ve been on the low for a while,” Kiya had commented on the photo.

The original post was subsequently deleted, and Kiya went on to post on her Instagram saying that she had been hacked and wasn’t the one who commented about Zendaya and Tom’s relationship.

She wrote: “My account was hacked last week. Nothing posted or said was from me. I could care [sic] less or know who was dating who. Please stop asking.”

Unfortunately, viewers were still able to identify that she was eating fish, sparking outrage online.

In an emotional apology released on YouTube, Yovana explained why she misled her fans and shed light on her health. 

She said, at the time: “I know that so many of you trust me, you listen to me, and you probably feel deceived and lied to — and you’re in your whole right to feel that.

“I’m human. I made a mistake, and I was not planning on hiding this [from] you. I was planning on telling you but on my terms and my time.”

#9 Khloé Kardashian Made An Instagram Story Post About Her Daughter True’s First Trip To Disneyland, Confirming A Viral Theory That, Several Months Prior, Her Sister Kim Kardashian Had Photoshopped True Over Their Niece, Stormi

Khloé Kardashian admitted in 2022 that she had altered pictures of her daughter True in Disneyland after she had told her followers she had brought her daughter to the park “for the first time” in an Instagram story.

Fans subsequently pointed out various inconsistencies in her Disneyland photos that led them to believe the photo had been photoshopped.

#10 D’Angelo Russell Posted A Snapchat Video Of Nick Young Admitting To Cheating On Iggy Azalea

In 2016, LA Lakers player D’Angelo Russell posted a video on Snapchat where Nick Young admitted to cheating on his then-fiancé, Iggy Azalea.

D’Angelo reportedly shared a video, most likely in DM form, without realizing that other people would be able to save it. 

According to Bleacher Report’s Kevin Ding, D’Angelo and Nick had been “trying to prank each other.”

“Hey, that’s part of being a basketball player. There’s always something,” Iggy went on to admit on 92.3 radio’s “Shoboy in the Morning” show (via ET.com). 

The Aussie rapper further admitted: “When people come out and say things and have their entire press routine where they’re like, ‘Now I’m going to do 700 interviews about the one time you cat-called me out of a car supposedly,’ to me that takes a bit of the potential authenticity of the story away.”
