“Kelly Osbournes Triumphant Mess Up”: 40 Moments Celebs Thought They Were Being Humble But Were Just Clueless
For the regular folks, it’s hard to relate to someone who flies to Paris only for the afternoon on their private plane or eats chef-made sushi for breakfast. And yet celebrities still want to appeal to their fans by trying to be relatable while doing all of these things. Sometimes, they succeed, but other times, they miss the mark so badly that the whole world collectively cringes.
Our Bored Panda team collected many examples of the latter from this popular thread that are bound to leave you feeling uncomfortable. Scroll down to check them out for yourself, and don’t forget to upvote those that you’d put in the Hollywood Walk of Shame, if there was one, that is.

Anytime celebs go on about ‘everyone has 24 hours a day’ ‘if you work for it you can achieve it’ ‘manifest it!!’ rise and grind type s**t.
As if someone working two low paid jobs while they support their kids has access to the same resources/money/time as celebrity millionaires.

Ugh, I had someone actually say this to me in person, saying anyone could retire early and go live on a horse ranch like she did! You just have to work hard for it or something like that. Friend I was with immediately said "I'm disabled. I couldn't do that". I said "I couldn't do that either; I'm living paycheck to paycheck." At least the drip had the decency to look extremely embarrassed.

I disagree, her greatest crime was saying the staff working at the yoga studio have a job because *she* does yoga. As if she invented yoga 🙄😤

All those celebrities in March/April 2020 who talked about us being “all in this together” from their sprawling mansions.

Like either of them have any idea what that even means.

Considering what work she has had done, maybe "getting your áss up" meant something completely different.

I deeply dislike Ellen D but her segment where she has rich people guess the cost of grocery store items is hilarious/sad. Bill Gates guessed that a bag of pizza rolls cost $22 😭
It’s pretty funny to me that she likes to make fun of the ~out of touch wealthy celebs~ as if she isn’t one of the worst.

Lewis Hamilton has many of these.
Being vegan for the environment while tweeting from a private jet, doing loads of campaigning for a better future before getting ousted for tax evasion on his private jet.
He's like a woke Bristol Uni student but rich, tax avoidant, jet setting F1 driver.

Moving to Monaco to avoid taxes seems to be a common tactic of F1 drivers. I guess paying tax is just for us plebs.

I've realized just now how much I dislike when celebrities are refered to with their first name alone... It's like 1) nobody else with that name really mattered and 2) everyone is obligated to know every useless rich clown by heart.

Sam Smith did a social media post about how hard they were finding covid lockdown regulations and having to stay at home. From the garden of their large property in England.
I'm sure people in the 20th floor of flats in tower blocks would have felt their pain.

Oldie but goodie, Ariana calling herself the "hardest-working 23yo in the world" back in 2016/2017. Like, no doubt she works hard. But I got news for her...

If you are not missing digits, have something like "black lung" or are part of a group with a label like "radium girls" you are not even close to the hardest worker. Even IT gets typing calluses over long hours.

Every time Kendall or Kim K open their mouths about “issues” esp work ethic, every nepo kid talking about how they started their careers, Ellen D talking about covid and being in her mansion all day, Emma chamberlain every week of her podcast.

When it comes to Nepo Babies, Jack Quaid is my favourite. His mum, Meg Ryan, came out with comments saying how he wasn't a nepo baby and he worked hard for everything he has, and how having famous parents has had no effect on him. Then, we he was asked about her comments, he basically said (about being a nepo baby) that that is *exactly* what he is. Sure, he's talented and works hard, but he understands that he started in an extremely privileged position.

Elon Musk March 2020 "The corona virus panic is dumb." Maybe the panicking part is dumb but I bet he just didn't want to create safer working conditions at his factories, so that people weren't coughing all over each other and spreading a potentially deadly virus.
Shark Lady 3 months ago
OP calling the panic dumb is also out of touch. Of course people panicked, it was the biggest outbreak of a deadly illness since the Spanish flu 100 years ago. Also, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Everything Jennifer Lawrence did to appear relatable had the opposite effect:
* The "hilarious" story about scratching her a*s with sacred rocks in Hawaii.
* That time she said she wished she had a "weird quirk" like OCD to be more interesting.
* When she presented at the Oscars alongside Amy Schumer and she started like to weirdly shush and point at people in the audience as a joke. That was peak, peak cringe.
* When she berated and made fun of a journalist whose only crime was speaking English as a second language just to be fun and show off in front of everyone. That was the one that really, really made me dislike her, such a phony tryhard.

I think she started out pretty authentic but just leaned into it when she got positive reinforcement. "People love your quirk and dorky honesty! Dial it up to 1000!" - her PR team

When asked if she felt pressured into marrying Humphries with her life being the subject of a reality TV show, Kardashian said: 'Not really. We had done filming our season at that point, so we decided to film for the wedding. And that was a decision that he and I made together.
'But I think that, with any decisions in life, like, I spoke to a girl today who had cancer and we were talking about how this is such a hard thing for her, but it taught her a big lesson on who her friends are and so much about life.
'She's 18. And I was like, that's how I feel.'
- Kim Kardashian.

I dunno, I think she got unfairly treated for this one. I thought it was clear that she was having a dig at Trump. She was pointing out that he's acting against immigration while also exploiting immigrant labour. She was pointing out trumps hypocrisy

Love her but Rachel Zegler doing a reenactment of Britney Spears tweets. Did not give what she thought it it was gonna give.

The new Kardashians episode where Kylie and Kris go grocery shopping and get a car wash. Cringe and so out of touch.

Niche political one: Cillian Murphy wearing a poppy on an UK interview for Peaky Blinders had half of Irish twitter absolutley raging with him for being a sellout.
DrBronxx 3 months ago (edited)
As an Irish person, I was surprised to learn that he wore one - had to go look it up. It seems he was doing interviews at the time when everyone is wearing poppies on UK TV. Seems he gave in to pressure to wear it. It's still surprising, given how proudly Irish he is. ETA - I don't think this was an out-of-touch moment. He's not a stupid man and knew what he was doing. An error in judgement, possibly, but he knew. I would give him the benefit of the doubt on that front.

I remember hearing a story on Joe Rogan from someone who knew someone who invited Tom Cruise to a Superbowl party.
He turned up with a brand new pigskin. And when he was asked which team he supported he replied " All of them".
He was pleasant but everything he did felt rehearsed like he was on camera or on the red carpet.

So, according to me, this is an example of "the perfect victim". If you don't fit the mold of being perfect, you can't be a victim of abuse and so on. For example: You're too fat and ugly to be r@ped, what did you say to provoke your partner to punch you and so on. Sitting in a big house and have alot of money don't help with psychological issues and the world hating you. And of course anyone would rather sit in a big house wirh money while being traumatised, instead of sitting in a small apartment without money while being traumatised. Obviously. But generally downplaying peoples psychological hardships is horrible and mean. Like saying: -Your mental problems isn't that bad because you're rich, you still have a home, job, a happy family, don't cry yourself to sleep everyday or have daily panic attacks. So how could your life "be ruined".

Unpopular opinion here. But everyone gets used to what's normal. It's why rich and poor both need something new on occasion to keep life interesting. During covid, the rich had more space, but they also lost more luxury and their gold plated little brains couldn't handle lockdown any better than us real folk.

I have no doubt that most celebs, aside from the nepo’s), worked hard for periods in their lives. But most were also fortunate to have family as financial bankers or universities that provided them with resources to prototype their ideas and parents who paid for the universities. They probably worked less hard than the average person who worked through HS, enlisted in the military to get some financing for uni, and then worked half or full time to get through uni. And then worked 60+ hours a week for the next 40 years
