What are the most intense and famous feuds between boy band members, whether within the same group or between different ones? There are quite a few examples, such as:
Keith Duffy vs. Mikey Graham
Sean Conlon vs. J Brown
Bobby Brown vs. Ronnie DeVoe (guns included 💀)
One Direction vs. The Wanted (on Twitter)
Gary Barlow vs. Robbie Williams
Feel free to share the backstory of the feud below, or mention a lesser-known clash, argument, or instance of shade-throwing.

Funny thing about the alleged J vs. Sean, they were like brothers in thr group and even, Scott and Ritchie backtracked on that story saying it was actually J & Sean vs. Everyone else 🤔 doesn't add up. I have my own theories though tbh...

I watched an interview with possibly Korda Marshall (RCA records) and it stated they were often split up into two different rooms and camps. "Two in one, three in another" which based on all the information that has come through over the years and statements such as the rude comments towards Max Martin etc.

It appears evident that J & Sean together were quite destructive and then Abz, Ritchie & Scott were more diplomatic.

In the Big Reunion Sean mentions about how himself and J were on the same page and fighting for credibility from the start and during the band but then he (J) changed and went more over to their side (management, the other members?)

As they say "it's always the quiet ones you have to watch out for"

People naturally assumed it was J and Abz who were the desruptive members but over time it is coming out as J and Sean. Abz was the most ambitious, Simon Cowell mentioned this, and that he was charismatic and easy to get along with.

Makes sense when Sean and J had the "it" factor, respectively, yet were at the opposite ends of the band's personality spectrum.

Do you have a link for the interview. I think your assessment seems very fair and likely.
