Folks Online Didn’t Expect These 29 Celebrities To Be Terrible People In Real Life
Let’s be honest - sometimes we imagine some scenarios in our heads, for example, if we met our favorite celebrities, how we would chat with them, take photos and say how much they mean to us, right? And in our scenario, everybody is nice and we have created this image that celebrities are the nicest people, they love their fans and so on. Well, no. They are also humans and unfortunately, not all people are nice.
Probably most of us have seen many videos where folks share celebrities who they have met and how their interaction went. Some turn out to be the kindest people, while others disappoint us by revealing that they are not as nice as we imagined.
Speaking about celebrities who actually turned out to be jerks in real life, one Reddit user created a thread online asking people to share celebrities who are rude once the cameras are off. Scroll through and check it out!

Khalid. I've been fortunate to have been a part of a lot of different events, festivals, and shows. I've met a bunch of singers and preformers throughout my time at these events...
The most memorable what this guy, but not for anything good.. it was for his attitude towards hotel staff, my colleagues, and his own team. arrogant a*shat. I had to avoid him, I can keep my mouth shut when I have to but I can't contain my face.
Surprisingly I expected Cardi B to be "that b*tch" but NOPE, she was a doll! My room happened to be next to her's/ her crew .. final day of a festival I woke up to laughing yelling and loud music from their suite.
I was like whatever, honestly.. it's part of it all, nbd. But they had bought me breakfast and mimosas (left at my door with a note by housekeeping) and when they caught me on my way out they apologized for their "routine" and even asked me if I wanted to come hang out.
I had things to do for the day or I would have but seriously.. from all I heard that wasn't at all what I expected.

I wish I could find more people saying he's a jerk so that I can see reasons. Because I'm so used to people saying bad things about celebrities even when they don't deserve it. It doesn't mean all people are lying trying to create a wrong image of them but maybe they just saw too little to actually get to know them and their intentions. I'm only saying this because some people that are really just the sweetest people have been called arrogant or accused of who knows what. Don't get me wrong, if Khalid is actually a jerk, I am definitely gonna spread the word but we shouldn't do that unless we know it's 100% certain. If anyone reading this has any examples feel free to let us know
Katy McMouse 1 year ago
I agree totally. Every time I read things like this, I'm skeptical. Maybe someone's having a bad day/week/month - or maybe they are a******s - who knows? There's no "banana for scale" method of measuring people's moods, so I try to not take rumors seriously about ANYONE, celebrity or people in general, until they proveme wrong.. But there are some, like Cosby, who just make your skin crawl long before they are caught out.

interviewed zachary quinto once. i could tell he was very talented and he would be going very far with his career in a more thespian-like manner. he wasn't a terrible person but he was unsurprisingly - how do i put this... um, well - conceited. obviously he can back it up; he's very talented but, c'mon - it's still just acting.
if anyone loves Chris Pine, he is absolutely charming in real life; knows how to address fans and press. a total sweetheart.

Many years ago I volunteered for a charity. We had an event where Jim Carey was a keynote speaker and guest. This was shortly after "Mask" was released.
When Jim Carey showed up, he was a c**k to everyone.
When the event started, we expected him to still be a c**k. Nope, it's like he flipped a switch and became "Jim Carey" and wowed the audience.
Walked off stage and was a c**k again.

Bill Nye.
Was a huge fan growing up. My brother works for NASA at Goddard in Maryland and Mr Nye has been a guest speaker for a number of events. The dude is apparently, according to my brother and his colleagues, a total jerk and gets a little creepy with the ladies. Anytime I've shared this, I get a fair amount of people disbelieving or say it's probably a misunderstanding. Look into it for yourself and I'm sure you'll find many anecdotes of him being an a*s.

But my mom's friend would like.. feel weird about taking stuff & Helen would always make comments about how she needed it & how she'd never be able to afford these things otherwise. Not in a way that was like.... considerate or nice. But in a condescending way. Like she looked down on her. She would always flaunt her wealth in everyone's faces & then when they'd go out to dinner & s**t she would expect everything to be free or paid for by her friends bc she had an attitude like everyone should be grateful that they get to be in her life.. my mom met her a couple times & wasn't really a "fan" beforehand. But after she met her my mom's like "omg.. idk why anyone would want to be friends w/ a celebrity! She was awful "

So it could just be some bitter ladies hating on Helen for no reason or just being catty cause they can... my mom is a gossip sometimes. But I tend to believe it bc I've never heard a nice thing about her. lol.

From what I call tell of the situation Will Smith seems like he's been gaslighted by Jada Pinkett into believing her infidelity was somehow cause by him. Alienation can probably be laid at his feet but the man isn't responsible for her actions. Somehow he believes he is at least to a point. Hence a massive overreaction like the slap when his wife is under "attack" occurs as he tries to prove his love and support for her. She was smug af when it happened and then had the balls to tweet about it being a time for healing the next day. She is a bonafide narcissist.

My dad wore one of his old sweaters from around 1990 to a family event the other week. My niece congratulated him for wearing vintage which completely perplexed him as this 35 year old sweater is still in the rotation. Anyway, this sweater got us talking about Cosby and how much we loved him back in the day. We all believed he was the guy he played on tv. My cousin pointed out that the Cosby Dad persona was a rebrand at the time and he had been a fairly raunchy comic before then, even joking about drugging women.

Cosby's disintegration was one of the biggest tragedies of the past 100 years. I lived through it ALL. Here's the thing- the original man- was a) brilliant, b) human, c) humane, d) kind - and e) Black. It's the last one that destroyed him, I believe. He was THE FIRST big Black television STAR; and he was REALLY a star. Not just to Black folk; us White folk - LOVED him, too; for his humanity and brilliance. What a difference he made. Then- HERE is what I bet happened. We all know "power corrupts" - that's a huge hazard- but I think Bill had HELP getting corrupt - from people like Trump. Who would cuddle up to this bright star, and TELL him- "hey, Bill- You're a STAR now!! The first Black Star! It's UGE. Lissen-; NOW, you can just grab 'em by the pussy!! Go for it!! You owe it to yourself to live the life!" And? Part of being human that we ALL know is - "Sex makes us STUPID." God does it ever. And- he was tempted by all his friends- damn. God we miss you, Bill

I went to ask him for an autograph. He scribbled a completely-unintelligible scribble onto a Post-It note, handed it to me, pushed me aside, and walked off, without once looking at me or speaking a word to me. I know I was just a little kid and he probably was sick of autograph requests, but that encounter has stayed with me for 30 years.

I don’t get why restaurants give free food to millionaires. They aren’t going to give you a good review. They aren’t going to think about it as their staff probably booked their table. They are more able to afford their meal than anyone else in your restaurant. You should give the free meal to a customer who looks as if they need it and would appreciate it.

Jerry Lewis.
Growing up as a kid in the 1970s, I watched his movies (both with and without Dean Martin) countless times on tv. I just LOVED his movies (still do). And he was hailed as a Saint for his charitable efforts regarding muscular dystrophy.
As the years passed, little by little it was coming out how a godawful human being he really was. How he was a serial philanderer, cheating on his wife early on in their marriage, sexually harassing and abusing numerous actresses he worked with, secretly fathered a child (a daughter) in the 1950s with a fashion model and never acknowledged her existence or helped his biological daughter out, even when she went homeless decades later. Passed away, leaving all his sons and/or grandkids nothing in his will.

Turns out she's really not.
INGI 1 year ago
I worked with her once. She was nice enough, but did call me at 4AM to tell me their were ants in her very fancy room. I literally lived an hour away. All I had to do was call the front desk. I asked them to call me back and let me know 1- what they did to resolve the situation (they moved her to the presidential suite, and 2- how many ants there were... THREE. It took her longer to call me than to just call the U&^#Iing front desk herself.

I’ve nicknamed Julia Roberts “Her Royal Smugness”. She’s always come across as arrogant and full of herself.
JayWantsACat 1 year ago
She's pretty well known for being an a*****e. Maybe's she's calmed down these days but she seemingly has always had a bad reputation. It could be for a variety of reasons but once her starpower dimmed, she wasn't working nearly as much and what work she got wasn't as quality as it used to be. And, sure, they could be do to the natural ebb and flow of Hollywood but still.

I never liked her big mouth and always wondered why people say she is beautiful. In my opinion she is not, but I am a woman and ooooold.

Nah, she’s not pretty but has an incredible ability to appear fragile in a feminine way. And she’s a good actress.

He lost me completely when his reaction to Jessica Walter being abused on set was to rush to reassure the abuser that everything was ok, and publicly made excuses for the abuse.

I worked with Jason for around 18 months and in that time he was very nice and seemed very down to earth especially considering he has been famous from such a young age. Everyone who I talked to who worked with him had nothing but good things to say about him. I don't believe this post is accurate.

I run a recording studio and I get some celebrities now and again mostly doing voice overs.
I had Danica Patrick doing voice over for a tv show she produced about racing.
She thought the read was only a few lines, but they had like 10 pages for her.
She lost her s**t when I handed her the script. She spent almost 40 minutes on the phone yelling at her assistant and other people about it...Instead of just f*****g doing the read.
When she finally calmed down, she was a huge a*****e to the producers on the phone listening in. Its typical for them to ask the reader things like, "gives us one more take of that a little slower..." When they would, she would explode about how much time she is giving them already and she is only going to read each thing once.
It was really cringe. I always wonder how much she was paid for that and was so just unaware of how lucky she is.

I somehow feel she was screwed over and understandably angry about it. And I feel OP is a little callous. She was told to read a few lines and then handed a whole script. This sounds like someone willfully mislead her

On top of that, she was being PAID to read a few lines, not a whole script. Honestly, her agent dropped the ball on this one.

she is a bit*h. Just view some of her temper tantrums during her nascar days. Thinking she should get special treatment just because she was a female in an all-male sport. Can't handle the heat honey stay out of the kitchen. This explains why her career didn't last long since she can't race to save her life
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
She once complained about her "rotten luck" and threw herself a pity-party for almost TWO MINUTES during an interview, after a horrible three-car crash during her NASCAR days that literally caused one of the other drivers to get AIRLIFTED TO A HOSPITAL in potentially critical condition. It took her two minutes of complaining about herself and her bad luck before it even occurred to her to send "best wishes/good luck" to her fellow driver. I'm a woman, and I've always thought she's been a bit catty, b****y, and a bit of a tool. I've never liked her attitude or how she came off in interviews. Just because you're the FIRST WOMAN!! in a male-dominated sport doesn't make you an automatic good person and/or miracle. IDK, she wasn't the WORST driver (which is impressive in and of itself, I'll give her that) but her attitude has always been crappy, to me.

Sounds like they didn't tell her how big the job was so she could prepare. And it also sounds like she suddenly found out she's being expected to do 20 times the work for the same amount of money. I'd probably have walked out. Good for her for not making it easy to exploit her

Gary Burghoff, better known as Corporal Radar from M* A* S* H. Apparently he is not as much of a teddy bear as one would expect.
Ian Shaw 1 year ago
I met him once at a wildlife art exhibition. He does wonderful watercolors. Of course, nobody wanted to talk about that, but about M*A*S*H. He was a perfect gentleman about it, and other than lacking Radar's naiveté, he was every bit the teddy bear I expected. His autograph is one of my most treasured knick knacks.

Will concur on this one… many years ago had thanksgiving with a MASH cast member and they shared that Gary was a complete horse’s trump…
Michael Largey 1 year ago (edited)
He was the only one on the TV show who had been in the movie, so he thought that made him better than the rest of the cast. It never occurred to him that his co-stars from the movie (actors like Donald Southerland, Elliot Gould, and Robert Duvall) didn't join him on the series because they had been able to move on to bigger and better things.

I met him in 1991 when i was 8 years old. My second grade teacher was friends with him, and he came to talk to the class, with a focus on "don't discount people with a disability, or let your own limit your life. He was a sweet and quiet man, spent a couple hours in the classroom telling stories and answering questions. My parents were both big fans of the show, i'd been watching reruns for as long as i could remember so i asked him to sign an autograph. He was tickled that someone so young was familiar with the show, he wrote a nice note to my parents that made their day. A few months later, a hand written envelope showed up in the mailbox, From gary, addressed to my parents and i that included a cast photo from the show, signed by everyone and a little note. My parents kept them framed and proudly displayed on a bookshelf for years.

Pretty well known that he's a giant a*****e. Some of it you could understand with how much he worked at basketball and expected excellence from his teammates. But as also as a person. Listen to his Hall of Fame speech. Most people use it to celebrate their career, the people, etc. Jordan used his to air petty grievances. That SNL sketch based on the dice game with the security guard isn't true but it's based on truth. He's the GOAT but he's not the nicest guy.

I got into an internet argument with John Dimaggio (voice of Bender) when I was like 14 years old. This was over email using my hotbot account at the time (just to date myself), sometime before Futurama premiered..
To be fair I'm not sure if he was the jerk or I was. Wish I still had those emails

a lot of these "CELEBRITIES ARE JERKS" things are actually cause people come up to them while there busy or just trying to relax or stuff, there "JERKS" cause they wont entertain you every second, iv met a few that if you act like you know there "someone" they usually are friendly then will let you know and end up doing a picture or signing something, but being backstage while there busy yeah there gonna be asses cause THERE BUSY, if they are out side and you walk up to them going "hey i know you can i have such and such?"

Totally agree. If they're not working, you should leave them alone; by the same token, if you are there because of their work (eg waiting outside at a premier, or they're doing a book signing) it is incumbent on them to give you some time.

In defense of celebrity, it’s difficult to be “on” all the time. And everyone always needs something of you. Being an introvert, this resonates with me. Some of these celebs might be jerks, but others might have been having a bad day, or we may not know the context of how the interaction happened. Anything can be misinterpreted as a snub when that may not have been the intention.

Everyone thinks they are entitled to steal a piece of actor's private lives. All those moments add up. Sure, it's good to be kind to fans but at some point they are infringing on quality time. When I worked at a theme park we saw many celebrities who tried to spend time with their families, only to have too many people approach them. McLean Stevenson came in once and I didn't even look at him, but someone approached him and he said "I'm here having a day out with my daughter, so no." to a picture seeker. Then I looked up at him and recognized him. I always thought "Good for you, and for putting your daughter first."

Bob's Burgers cast went on tour. I paid extra for a meet and greet. First, during the show, H Jon Benjamin was completely unprepared and essentially threw together what he considered to be jokes, but was just mocking the state we were in. Then during the meet and greet, I made a Home Movies reference to him and he just kind of stared at me and as scribbled his name. We were taking photos and he literally rolled his eyes, sighed loudly and then just bounced. There weren't that many of us in line and he couldn't even be bothered. The rest of the cast, Kristin Schaal especially, were very nice and sweet. H Jon Benjamin clearly did not want to be there and wanted us to know it. Really bummed me out.
