- Monty Python co-founders Eric Idle and John Cleese have been embroiled in a public feud for the past five years, with Idle declaring their friendship "over" in 2024.
- Idle attributes the dispute to a change in Monty Python's management, claiming Cleese fired their former manager and hired Terry Gilliam's daughter, a claim Cleese denies.
- Idle stated he has not seen Cleese for a decade, emphasising that their disagreements are primarily over money and business, not comedy.
- Cleese, supported by Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam, has endorsed Holly Gilliam's management as efficient and pleasant.
- The ongoing tensions were highlighted when Cleese, Palin, and Gilliam reunited for Palin's birthday in May 2024 without Idle present.
