Don’t Mess with My Mama
Don’t mess with Elizabeth Taylor! She was never one to hold back her feelings. When the starlet was just a teenager, she witnessed her boss, Louis B. Mayer, criticize her mom. Elizabeth wasn’t about to let anyone speak to her mother like that. The young actress hit her boss, where it hurt.

She straight up told him that he and his studio could “go to hell.” A bunch of Mayer’s employees begged and pressured her to apologize, but the stubborn actress refused. Honestly, I don’t blame her. If anyone ever made a mean comment to my mom, I would speak my mind and never apologize for it. You mess with my mama, you mess with me.
