Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect Or Like These 45 Celebrities
Not all stars and public figures are created equal. While there are plenty of genuinely great people out there in the entertainment industry, not everyone quite measures up. And though everyone is human and we all make mistakes, some celebrities can, unfortunately, be quite toxic and nasty.
In a handful of brutally honest online threads, fans expressed their frustrations with the entertainment world. People revealed who the rudest, most unpleasant celebrities they’ve ever met are, and we’re featuring their stories below. Scroll down to find out what happened.

I was headed in a bagel shop in Marin Ca. To do some work (at the time I did refrigeration work walk in coolers etc…) I had a lot of tools slung over me cause I didn’t want to walk to my truck) I dropped my gauges this man behind me picked them up and carried them into the bagel place. I turned to thank him. Mr robin williams. Such a nice guy.

Just to inject a little good karma into this thread, I went up to Muhammed Ali in an airport when I was a little kid. This was late '70s, so he may have been the most famous person in the world at the time. He not only gave me an autograph, but invited me to sit down with him and his entourage for 10 minutes and bought me a Coke.

My dad met him back in the 80s at a convention in Las Vegas. My dad saw him a few more times throughout the years and he always recognized my dad and was so kind. I was too young to remember, but my dad still has a picture of me up on Ali's shoulder when I was around 4 or 5 😁

A friend was travelling through Calgary and saw Carey Price (he would have been the best hockey goalie in the world and the league mvp around then) and so just sort loudly called out 'Carey Price' from about 20 feet hoping for a wave. Carey Price just walked over and started talking with my friend, asking about where he was headed and stuff and then saying a few obvious things about the team when asked about the season. Just a nice tall friendly guy.

I waylaid Kostya Tszyu in a shopping centre once. I knew the face and thought it was someone I went to school with. He was so cool asked how I was and what I was doing etc. I asked him the same - he just smiled and then two rather large men (his bodyguards) came and escorted him away. It was only after he left the penny dropped....I felt like such an idiot.

Being rude, toxic, entitled, and generally an unpleasant human being is awful for your career. The entertainment industry, like any other community, runs on social connections, not just skills.
So, if you’re a complete nightmare to work with, treat your colleagues and fans like dirt, and make it unbearable to be around, your career is in a lot of trouble. Very few people are going to want to work with you, unless you have an extremely unique skill set that nobody else can match.
That, of course, is on top of the fact that you’re supposed to treat others with respect. But alas, things like basic politeness, decency, and empathy are rarer than they should be.
Unfortunately, some stars let fame go to their heads. But being kind and caring isn't just the right thing to do, it's also the smart thing to do if you care at all about your career.

I worked in a business for 35 years that dealt with celebrities, mainly music and movie, but authors, as well. Many of them were in our offices multiple times. Like any human being, one may have been a little off on a particular day, but all except one were generally friendly, down-to-earth and accommodating.
Only one was consistently rude, even to the point of being a complete jerk. Every time. Any time. That would be Robert James Ritchie (Kid Rock). Total waste of space.

As well-known pop star, producer, designer, and reality TV judge Pharrell Williams explained to the New York Times Magazine, empathy should be everyone’s priority.
“I think empathy is the most important thing. It’s not a natural thing to just literally think of others all the time. It’s just not,” he said.
“You constantly have to challenge yourself to be a little bit more open to what other people are going through,” the star shared his personal philosophy on life.

Willy Mays - He was my dad’s boyhood hero. So he was appearing at a card show. I paid for a couple of items to be signed and a short meet and greet before the general public. My dad was so funny, he was nervous and excited to meet him. Long story short, we got into the room. My dad handed over the ball he wanted to sign. My father then told him about how much he loved him as a kid, etc etc. Mays never looked up, never made eye contact, nothing. Just “next”. My dad didn’t seem to be bothered and as we walked away I said to the top of this jerk offs head “you don’t have to be such a rude jerk about it.” My dad passed last year and he always talked about how he met his hero, we buried him with the ball.

I worked production for some televised awards shows & other live events for a time.
Terrence Howard. Had to listen to him berate his own assistants and our staff at an awards show (the DAY before the show) because he couldn’t have extra tickets for his friends. Not like the seats are assigned & charted well in advance because they’re on live camera.
Henry Winkler takes the cake for the most engaging and animated person I immediately could tell was so authentic and lovely. He used to bring his mom back stage every year before one of the shows, and after my FIRST year being there and hanging out with them, he remembered my name the next year.
I also once had to help Jonathan Banks from breaking bad out of the staff door to just get a water bottle & a breath of fresh air, and he spent 20 minutes asking really interesting and thoughtful questions me about my life.

Bill and Hillary Clinton (when he was candidate Clinton, I think the year was 1992). He was creepy and pompous. She was really warm and friendly. It was the opposite of what I would have expected with them.
We owned a small hotel in a weekend vacation town in California. John Travolta was a huge jerk also Sharon Stone was an jerk. (They were there at different times). They were both demanding and very, very entitled. Woody Harrelson was really nice, kind to staff and paid his own way the entire stay.

J Lo. Worked in the industry. We were doing a commercial for her perfume or something. Her and Mark Anthony were pains in the a*s. He got a PA taken off set. because he didn’t like the way he looked. It was racial I suspect as he was the only one that was a different color than the rest of us. But that’s just my assumption. Maybe our best PA for that shoot too. She was just a general PIA.
At the end when we were wrapping, her entourage (a bunch of her weird cousins and s**t) pulled an Escalade up to her trailer and threw on one of her songs really loud. Then they lined up to sort of form this gauntlet like a red carpet for dignitaries. Mind you, this is on the back lot at Universal or WB. I don’t remember. So there’s nobody around. A few grips and PAs picking up some gear. A janitor maybe. Then these weird girls in like prom dresses lined up with one of her bad songs playing. Waiting for her to come out of the trailer and then walk 15 feet to the car. She doesn’t come out and one of them breaks rank, runs to the car and restarts the song. Then runs back to wait. I was sitting on the back for a cube truck smoking a cigarette with my production manager just blown away.
I worked with many, many celebrities in Hollywood but never saw that level of weird self involvement. I know it’s out there but that was the worst I witnessed that comes to mind right now. This was like 20 years ago btw.

Jenna Coleman came to a local convention and as you'd expect, people were bringing her fanart and other Doctor Who memorabilia. Stuff they'd put their souls into, that kind of thing.
Almost the minute the con closed, she shoved it all in the bin, almost literally shoving it off her table with one sweeping movement in front of everyone.
I'm not saying she should have kept and treasured every last piece but at least have the tact and to throw it in the bin backstage or when nobody is looking.

I work at conventions and let me tell you, the celebs almost never take anything you gift them home. During autograph sessions the assistants put every gift into a bag under the table, when they are done, they ask the celeb what they want to have. The most likely answer is "Letters/cards and maybe some of the smaller gifts", the rest will be given to the assistants at give away parties or discarded. Don't gift celebs at conventions food of any kind, no wine, no cookies etc, don't give them huge art pieces, don't bring explicit fan-art, don't bring movie scripts you have written and most certainly, don't ever give them underwear.

Jeremy Clarkson (Top Gear UK), he shoo shoo'd my daughter away like a dirty fly. She was around 5-6 years old at the time and plucked up so much courage to ask for a photograph.
We were guests at a car show event, so everyone was sitting around in the lounge. His co-host Richard Hammond watched the whole thing, was mortified, scooped my daughter up with hugs, made her laugh, and took lovely photos! Richard is a gem. I had a good chance to observe Jeremy Clarkson's general behavior to servers and staff, etc, and can say he is rubbish. Also, his face in real life looks like a rotten piece of gammon ham, ugly inside and out.

Whatever you think of the show Top Gear, Clarkson was always an arsehole. No, he isn't a 'normal guy saying what we're all thinking', he's a misogynistic, self-obsessed arsehole faux-common man. The other two aren't much better, but they were at least honest about who they were.

There's a little video from Top Gear at youtube that shows everything anybody has to know about him. He drives a Maserati Biturbo. These cars aren't drowned in fame, but deserve to, as they're a precious piece of hightech history, being the first gasoline vehicle engine that was developed solely to be turbocharged, having a quirky, but reasonable cylinder head layout. To engineers, it's obvious that here, somebody had a concept in his mind and was given the go to make it reality - which, of course, always results in something great. The ugly large man, however, doesn't agree to that, bought one, showed it on Top Gear, and showed how a container of rubble is set free from a crane to land on the poor innocent Maserati. That alone shows what a hideous excuse of a human being he is.

Downvote because the sarcasm will be totally lost on the large number of people who haven't heard "Stan" (or didn't listen to it closely enough) to understand that this is a reference to that song.

One was Guy Kawasaki (not really a celebrity, he was in charge of designing the first Macintosh computers). He was awesome.

Ok, not the rudest one but the best one!! (I know this is the wrong post to reply to, but my fav celeb story). One time I met Ray liotta at a nice bar in Spokane WA where him and Cuba gooding Jr? I think were shooting a movie. He walks up to the bar and tries to sit in an empty seat. Some uptight guy immediately tells him no and that he's saving it for his girlfriend. Ray then goes into, 'is this your seat? Is your name on this seat' etc etc just like in Goodfellas! I was dying. After this ray goes to sit by himself in a booth near the bar and sulks for like 20 min. I'm there with my friends and go outside for a smoke. I see a cluster of little pink flowers and pick them. WHen I come back in, I put in down on ray's table and go back to the bar. After 10 min or so, I look over and see that he's still upset. So I walk over and say, 'do you not like your flower?' He takes a big sigh and says, 'yes I do.' After this he perks up and joins me and my friends at the bar! It was so exciting.

Beth Chapman, wife of Dawg “The Bounty Hunter.” I was in a call center, she needed her dishwasher repaired. I wasn’t even supposed to get the call- I’m not in customer service. Apparently customer service didn’t know w*f to do with her either, so they cold-transferred her to me. She wanted a repair guy out NOW. Mind you, this is in Hawaii and there were like 10 technicians total for all appliances, on the entire island she lived on, and they were all booked two weeks out. She was not taking no for an answer, and screamed at the top of her lungs, swearing and cursing at me. (Side note- you can tell a native from a non-native Hawaiian by how chill they are. A native Hawaiian is like, “Ok, cousin, whenever you can fit me in is fine.”)
I ended up scheduling a guy to go out on overtime, with his and his manager’s permission, two days later. Calling her up to tell her the guy was on his way was a second treat, where I got my ear blasted for being rude, inconsiderate, not helpful, and called every name in the book. Technician I sent out got another earful. I made sure he got to go home early that Friday as an apology.
I heard from a lot of celebrities and their assistants back in those days. You know who was awesome? Charo. I had to schedule a half a day every time she had her stuff serviced, because my techs wouldn’t leave. Apparently she put out a full spread every time they visited.

Charo seems like a true gem. Actress. Comedienne. Dancer. Multi-lingual. Multi-instrumentalist. Wife. Mother. Considered by many to be one of the greatest living flamenco guitarists. She definitely seems to enjoy being a woman and must work her tushy tushy off to fit into those s**y outfits all these years. In many parts of the world, she's a major A-list celebrity. Yet here in America, where she lives, many just think of her as the 'cuchi cuchi' girl because she leaned into a stereotype to get work here and never seemed to get bent out of shape about it. I've wondered if she actually really enjoys her relative anonymity here in the states. And now I learn she treats service people like valued guests 😀

p.s. Check out the youtube video named "Charo - Malagueña - 3/5/22" Her true age seems to be a mystery as her date of birth has varied from 1941 - 1951. Even at the youngest possible age, she'd have been 71 when the video was filmed.

Cher
Many years ago I spent a summer working as a night concierge at a fancy hotel in London. Over that summer I interacted with several famous people - a few that come to mind are Tony Bennett, the members of Metallica, Alan Alda, Sarah Ferguson (she was still the Duchess of York at the time).
Cher was by far the most unpleasant celebrity I dealt with. She was in London promoting the release of the movie "Mermaids". As a night concierge, one of my responsibilities was to take room service calls after 10pm. One night after I had been off duty for a couple days I answered the room service line and it was Cher. She identified her room number, but her voice was immediately recognizable. She proceeded to order chocolate truffle cake and berate me for the fact that the hotel restaurant didn't have the cake the previous night (when I was off duty). She cursed me out and threatened to immediately check out of the hotel if we didn't have the cake.
I was polite and got off the call as quickly as I could. I walked down the kitchen to hand deliver the order. Fortunately they had some cake left.
To this day I loathe her - no other guest treated me so rudely that summer.

I used to work Postmates on weekends and during the summer when I lived in LA for school. I ended up delivering to a lot of celebrities, and they were always really sweet to me, probably because I was bringing them food. My usual tactic is to act like I don’t know who they are and just treat them with my usual politeness.
Sarah Silverman is a total sweetheart, and has a cute little dog too. Chace Crawford is really nice — I had a chat with him about where to get good pizza in our neck of the woods, because he was new to town back then. Kristen Bell is also a total sweetheart, and all of them were good tippers.
And I would deliver anything anytime to the Reznor family. I met Mrs. Trent Reznor one evening delivering food, and asked her: “It’s a distinctive last name, any relation to Trent?” She started laughing, and said “Yes, he’s my husband! When he gets home I’m going to tell him our delivery lady was a fan, he’ll get a kick out of that.”
But Conrad Hilton is a smarmy jerk and a total cheapskate. He’s one of the worst tippers I’ve ever seen.

I met essentially everyone in music between 1991 and 2001, inc a weekend with KISS, and whilst almost everyone was a jerk... Gene Simmons ost perhaps the worst person on planet Earth.

Only really famous musician I met was Bob Dylan. He was so quiet it was hard to hear him. Very lovely man though. I met him at a club where he was performing. Well after the show he and his stage crew came outside for a smoke, he didn't smoke himself, was just hanging out. I smoked back then and so I bummed a few of them my cigarettes. The crew yakked it up with my friends and I. Bob hung back, but would break in with questions every now and then. He then told everyone we should see his son Jacob perform. That Jacob was better than he ever was. Agree to disagree Mr Dylan.

I had just started working at a pharmacy and am actor from CSI Miami came in to pick up something and got pissy about it not being ready yet and pulled the "Do you know who I am" card. I, in fact, did not know who he was. I replied that I was sorry, I was new there and didn't know all the regulars yet but his script would be done in 10 minutes.
He looked kind of deflated after that reply and wandered off. It wasn't until he was gone that someone told me who he was. Never watched the show myself.

I worked at the orange store that sells house repair stuff, big box store. In the plumping section. On our apron is our name. I had many many rude customers, because dontcha know their stuff is leaking or broke and its my fault. Ive gotten the do you know who i am? My reply was always No, dont you? Or my favorite was when theyd yell Give me your name! The looks they would give when id say Why? Didnt your parents give you your own name. Management would wag their fingers at me in front of them, but management also knew that plumbing was a toxic hellscape of people having a bad day. Usually the customers would stop and be taken aback then see the off handed humor i used to break the tension they had built up. To be fair, my sarcasm also backfired too

Had an entitled lady, whose husband was some kind of political big shot pull the "Do you know who I am? Do you know who my husband is?" And all I could think to respond was "No, and I don't care who you are?" She was mad because my tiny dog peed on the dock near her boat, and I refused to WASH a tablespoon of PEE off the dock that was covered in seagull p**p.

This was like 25 years ago in Naples Florida. Outdoor seating at an expensive restaurant. Judge Judy sitting at the table next to me. She had a little dog with her and I said, oh can I pet your dog? She snapped No! I was a young woman at the time and I remember being stunned at how rude she was about it. Not very exciting, but that’s my story.

Rosario Dawson was rude as hell when I waited on her at a high-end restaurant in Boston years ago. Leslie Bibb, who was dining with her, was sweet as pie. A-Rod came in once after-hours and was such an entitled jerk, just a condescending person who very clearly thought he was better than everyone around him.
Jennifer Coolidge was LOVELY and had great energy. Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer were insufferable and smug and deeply, deeply impressed with themselves. I didn’t recognize Big Papi as Big Papi and the door forgot to say anything to me about it. He thought it was great when I was like hey, I think I know you from somewhere. Did you used to work the door at _______? His wife, however, was PISSED.

Sadly, it's Danny Elfman. I have so much respect for the guy and Oingo Boingo is one of my favorite bands. Vatos and the horn section guys were really nice though.
My date and I were waiting to talk to him when he was really rude to a fan. He was making fun of the poor guy to his face.
And when my date asked him what inspired the song War Again. He leaned back and flailed his arms in the air and loudly said "Oh, don't even ask me!!"
I was so shocked.

I saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at LAX. (I mean, how can you NOT see him!) I got a quick pic while he was in line at a restaurant, but the lady next to me decided to approach him and (I suppose) ask for a selfie. He glared at her and said "get away from me lady". She was a true fan and heartbroken.
I later learned he had just recently been diagnosed with leukemia, so of course that softened my opinion.

To be fair, so many celebrities have probably had it up to *here* with crowds and interviews and paparazzi, one could expect them to be prickly now and then. Like, you want to have a nice meal with your family and people just keep interrupting, or worse if you’re known for being a comedian, expect everything you say to be hilarious.
