It’s Beef Week at HuffPost Culture. Fight us.
Roxane Homosexual has a list of nemeses. There are six, and the acclaimed composer and critic keeps the list in her phone’s Notes app.
The names are secret, but the existence of her nemeses isn’t. If you’re one of Gay’s half-million Twitter followers, you almost certainly know about her nemeses, because she tweets about them frequently.
Once she posted a screencap of the note, the names censored by a solid jet box. Another time, she posted a list of descriptions of her nemeses: A Scrabble competition foe, a famous writer, a celebrity. The celebrity is the one she tweets about most often; she grumbles about this nemesis’ perpetual smile, cutesy persona and clear skin.
She’s landed on these nemeses for various vague reasons; they are typically people “whose very existence troubles your soul,” as she recently explained to me over email. Now that they’re on the list, she wishes for fantastical triumphs over them. She imagines doing karate on them, or fantasizes about her friends hating them too. Instead, she tweets ― and, occasionally, casts a curse.
These nemesis tweets are like phantom beef: We can smell it cooking, but th

Young-adult book Twitter took an especially surreal turn this week when the best-selling novelist Sarah Dessen took offense at a short critique of her work, inciting a minor Twitter riot, with some of the most known writers in the world jumping into the fray to defend her.

Rarely outside of scripted drama is a contest so neatly framed. But what’s remarkable about this saga is that the competition between Coleen and Rebekah that landed them in court may acquire , in the past, pushed them to succeed. Everyone needs a nemesis.
Then 20-year-old Coleen McLoughlin’s actor turn in the stands at the 2006 World Cup in Germany led to columns in Closer and OK! magazines, a six-figure book deal and even a TV series, Coleen’s Authentic Women. Her legal team has implied that all this bad blood stems from Rebekah having aspired to that same celebrity for herself.
In October 2019, Coleen publicly accused Rebekah of leaking information about her to the media. After a months-long ‘sting operation’ on Instagram, Coleen declared that just one account had been viewing the phony stor
