A lot of prominent figures have come out as either team Taylor Swift or Team Kanye West in the recent feud between the celebrities over a line in West's song "Famous."

Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario didn't necessarily make it clear what side she's on but she did share some pretty strong opinions during a recent interview with Cosmopolitan. In the interview, she calls out Swift for tearing women down. She first stated that she wanted to remain neutral in the feud and added she has an "aversion" to the Kardashians. Forced to pick a side, though, she chose what she saw as the lesser of two evils: Team Taylor.

"However, I'm so appalled by what I consider to be her false feminism," she said. "It seems like she's this person who's like, 'Sisterhood!' and then she does nothing but tear down the women that were once her friends. So is it possible to just be, like...this is a two-party system that I don't want to be a part of? Can I just say that? Can I say that I would choose the Green Party in this?" So, Bellisario, are you saying you'd like to be excluded from this narrative?

Bellisario's claims echo those of many critics of Swift, including those Katy Perry made when Swift was embroiled in a feud with Nicki Minaj before the VMAs last year.

"Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman..." she tweeted, in reference to Swift's song 'Bad Blood,' which is assumed to be about Perry.

Although Bellisario made her comments against Swift while claiming to remain neutral, they mark one more celebrity who is not in Swift's corner for this ongoing battle.
