"Your heart's pounding, you sweat, and you feel like you're going to vomit," Tom Cruise said of being bullied. Lady Gaga told Rolling Stone she was "teased for being ugly, having a big nose, being annoying."
Taylor Swift was also a target for "Mean" girls. "Junior high was actually sort of hard because I got dumped by this group of popular girls," Swift told Teen Vogue. "They didn't think I was cool or pretty enough, so they stopped talking to me."
