Not everyone can say that Oasis icon Liam Gallagher compared them to Vladimir Putin and Rose West.
But that was the unfortunate case for Sara MacDonald – the ex-wife of Noel Gallagher – who had a rocky relationship with her former brother-in-law.
Many insults have been exchanged between the two but perhaps the most astonishing came when Liam tweeted in 2018: “Had a severe chest infection since Paris not long now Sara as you were LG x.”

And questioned why he named his then-sister-in-law, he savagely replied: “Coz I need to let the world know she’s up there with Putin.”

Sara and Noel later announced their divorce in 2023 – one year before the brothers declared an Oasis reunion.
And below, we look back at the strained relationship between Sara and her former brother-in-law.
Who is Sara MacDonald?
Sara is now 51 and she was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is a fashion and music publicist.
She met Noel after the songwriter chatted her up in a nightclub in Ibiza back in 2000. They eventually got married in 2011 and have two sons together, Donovan, 16, and Sonny, 14. Noel also has a daughter called Anais from a previous marriage.
But he got a second divorce after 22 years of marriage to Sara and a spokesperson said: “Noel and Sara will continue to look after their children who remain the priority. They ask the media to respect their privacy and that of our family at this time.”

And Noel spoke about the shock split for the first time last year when he told Big Issue magazine: “When you get to your mid 50s you do come to some kind of crossroads in your life.
“It’s not uncommon for people who have been in long-term relationships to go their separate ways in their 50s. I know a lot of people in the same boat as me and Sara. Particularly after the pandemic.”
Her feud with Liam Gallagher
While it was Noel who famously fell out with Liam, his ex-wife Sara also had her own issues with the Mancunian musician.
This is despite seemingly being cordial with her brother-in-law in the early 2000s when Noel and Sara regularly partied in London with Liam and his second wife Nicole Appleton.
But things crumbled and came to a head in 2018 when Sara told Liam to “drop dead” after he made public comments about her family.
Outspoken Liam had said in an interview that he “didn’t care” if Noel, Sara or his “f****** kid” Anais were abused online.

Furious, Sara wrote on Instagram: “His f****** kid”? You mean your gorgeous niece, you deplorable w*****. Please god (you) have dropped dead by the time my kids are on social media.”
In the same year, Liam blamed Sara for why Oasis had not gotten back together and even claimed she was the reason they split in the first place.
He told his fans how Noel was “rite up for it” but that “she doesn’t like oasis music [sic]”.
And writing on Twitter, now X, he also said: “Think it’s time to address the witch you want me to drop dead you have a screw loose and know the world knows as you were LG x.
“She’s the reason OASIS is no longer have to put it out there she’s DARK.
“We were about to go on tour to USA she robbed Noel’s passport f***ed with his head for a Wk he come crying at my door she’s proper dark.
“Yeah now we’re f***ing talking you want more. Cos if so I’m here all Wk.”

Making another jaw-dropping comparison, he added: “Him and her are like Fred and Mary west wishing people get aids and drop dead as you f***ing were Oasis for life LG x.”
The swiping continued into 2019 after Sara called LIam a ‘fat t**t’ and a tribute act to reignite the war of words.
It started when she praised Stormzy’s Glastonbury performance by saying: “Murky killed it. What a f***ing dude. Mesmerising.”
And asked if she would also watch Liam take to the stage, she replied: “Think I’m going to swerve that. The fat t**t doing his tribute act, balancing a tambourine on his head is going to look pretty dated after Stormzy.”
Noel is also quoted as saying that he would never make amends with Liam because of the things he has said about his wife on social media.
But with the divorce now finalised, Noel has now seemingly buried the hatchet with Liam, and the pair are set to go back on the road together for the first time in 15 years.
