This past Sunday, Vanessa Hudgens worked the red carpet at the Academy Awards. Meanwhile, her ex-boyfriend Austin Butler was there, nominated for Best Actor in a role she famously “manifested” for him. In a viral clip from the night, Vanessa accidentally crashed his photo op. She looked at him, glanced down at her phone, and kept walking. Austin looked at her, smiled, then waved to fans.  

After almost a decade in love together, what went wrong? Mel breaks down their once affectionate romance and the perceived power imbalance in their careers. Plus get ready for a surprise guest appearance from Ashley Tisdale!
