The user explained, “The shirt (and the paparazzi appearance in which she was seen wearing it) was intended to throw shade at the then-separated wife of Roberts’s now-husband Danny Moder (named Vera), who Roberts believed was dragging out their divorce and preventing the new relationship from taking off.”
The question prompted a lot of interesting responses. Grab your popcorn and get ready to take notes…

She then used the cash she won from that lawsuit to install a pool in her Connecticut home, which she called the ‘Andrew Lloyd Webber Memorial Pool.'” —Ambitious_Stay7139

Joan Crawford added additional weight on her belt in a scene where Bette Davis has to pull her body across the floor (Bette had back problems), and Bette actually kicked Joan in the head during an altercation scene. Bette got an Oscar nomination for that role, while Joan didn’t, so Joan apparently campaigned against Bette. Bette lost to Anne Bancroft, and Joan accepted the Oscar on Anne’s behalf. Just the tip of the iceberg of their legendary feud.” —summercloudsadness
