Reddit: Who is the rudest celeb you have ever met? What happened?

If I wanted to be on reddit, I would be on reddit.

Ruth McDevitt hit me in the head with a fondue pot.

I want to believe the post about Musk, but I don't at all.

Ellen

I think the last paragraph reveals the person was just trolling.

Timothee Chalamet. More people are now coming forward with on-set horror stories.

i've delivered things to disgraced streamer drdisrespect many times. his house is really ugly. he's polite but has an aloof attitude.

Meryl Streep. She's been torturing me forever. 😭😭😭 YES I KNOW I'LL NEVER BEAT YOUR 21 OSCAR NOMINATIONS!!! Why must you be so harsh???

Does Elon Musk count as a "celebrity"? I'm more inclined to stick with tyrant-enabler. (This also goes well beyond mere "rudeness" into BPD and massive entitlement syndromes.)

Btw Deuxmoi has endless asshole-celeb tales in their IG stories. Anthony Mackie somehow gets mentioned a lot, and considering he's assuming the helm of one of Marvel's most successful franchises in a few months, his asshole attitude doesn't seem like it'll play well with the media.

One of the comments on there is about Jared Leto hitting on a 16-year-old girl

He sounds like a pig

Reddit can be awful but that thread is juicy! There's a lot of stories about Bill Cosby and Diddy, too

Mabel Albertson kicked me in the balls when I asked her who she thought was the better Darrin.

On Deuxmoi currently there are photos of Gigi Hadid with highly noticeable alcoholic bloatface. She looks 58 years old.

Reddit has some good threads about personal encounters with celebrities.

I love stories about celebrities being assholes.

Barbara Mandrell. When I was in High School I worked at a farm who delivered hay to her horses. You couldn't look or talk to her and had to walk with your head down. Someone forgot her golden rules and looked at her All hell broke lose.

The Mary Berry citation didn’t surprise me in the least… I always knew that behind that kindly grandmother persona, there’s something rancid.

The reason I believe so many of these stories is because they're coming from service people. Celebrities are notoriously rude to servers. But a lot of the posters also cite celebrities being rude to kids, which is a real negative, IMO.

r16 I'm pretty sure Mary Berry still has slaves.

John Wilkes Booth. He shot my husband. Stone cold dead.

But is he a celebrity, Mary Todd?

That's a good Reddit thread.

Anyway, disappointed about Mary Berry.

The NBA (basketball) players sound awful, as a whole. I am betting Charles Barkley would not be rude, though. He seems like a cool guy.

Bill Murray is looking pretty good in this Reddit thread. I'm surprised.

Wow! Reddit is just like DL! Posters putting blind items.

Thank you OP, I also use Reddit and that thread is good reading. So many horror stories about encounters with Bill Cosby, way before the criminal charges. What a miserable SOB.

r20, you were supposed to say "but did you enjoy the celebrity, Mrs. Lincoln?".

Who was complaining about Mary Berry? Some soggy bottom I assume.

what about celebs who have an unfair reputation? i think axl rose is nicer than he gets credit for. all his so called diva walk offs were really about gross security failures, he was devastated when fans died at a show very early in their career. always been sweet to fans from what i hear and read. i'm skeptical about gossip from bitter roadies who are mostly ex-cons and drug addict losers who probably got fired for being idiot degenerates. the worst story i've heard is that he refused to go on stage until he finished watching teenage mutant ninja turtles 2 in his hotel room.

Does me looking in my mirror count?

Like, now, as I'm texting.

Not surprising that Elon the Trump ass licker treats women like garbage.

btw i wonder if kanye had some kind of brain injury or serious change from drug use - before yeezus came out when these threads would pop up on reddit he came up all the time as someone who went out of his way to treat crew members, service workers, etc. very well and generously.

Because of my job in NYC back in the 90s/00s, I met a slew of celebrities and honestly 99% were really decent people. I supposed Jeanne Garofalo was the most rude, but all she did was look angry when I spoke with her handler about details for that night's performance. Oh, and perhaps most bizarre was Winona Ryder who I passed walking down a quiet street in the west village during a less-than-famous stage of her career. We passed each other and I looked at her to be sure that's who she was and when she noticed me, inches away, her hand shot up to cover her profile. But then again, Winona isn't best known for her mental wellness. Oh, and Barry Manilow was pissy and aloof but his handler (husband) was very nice.

A friend of mine had a funny story about Tina Louise (of which, I'm sure, there are legion) . He was house managing at a well known OB house and when the doors opened (with assigned seats) Tina bolted and pushed others out of the way to get in. Some older man said something and she turned around and said, "Please, it's not like you're not going to get in."

R27 Do capital letters cost extra?

Dixie Carter once threw a handful of ball bearings onto the floor as I was just about to step down a long flight of stairs. I might have fallen and chipped a tooth!

Alan Rickman, Janelle Monae

R32 the shift key is broken on my keyboard and i also don't give a fuck about whiny pedantic prescriptivists who think shitpost comments on a gossip forum are formal letters or whatever. eat my shit bitch.

Lucy

I have always thought there was something phony baloney about Janelle Monae.

R35, if your shift key were broken you would not have been able to leave a "?" in your original post. You also would not be able to quote R32 because you need to use a capital "R" in order to quote a full post.

Do better.

Dame Julie Andrews once shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

[quote][R32] the shift key is broken on my keyboard and i also don't give a fuck about whiny pedantic prescriptivists who think shitpost comments on a gossip forum are formal letters or whatever.

Then you won't mind if we Ignore your posts!

R27 = Axl's publicist's secretary working a weekend shift.

R40 not at all please do block me shithead loser

[quote]r38 You also would not be able to quote [R32] because you need to use a capital "R" in order to quote a full post. Do better.

You can use a lower case ‘r’ when you’re quoting a reply number. The system will turn it into a capital ‘r’ when it displays.

Try it!

r43, let's see.

You are correct, r43!

zzzzz r1

Della Reese. A cunt on steroids.

R42 ooooh tetchy, tetchy!

R27 - Erin Everly would neg to differ.

^ beg

BARBARA MANDRELL?!

Holy fuck, that's a name from that passsst.

I've worked with several sports figures. By the far, the nicest athlete I ever worked with was Steph Curry. He was friendly, accommodating, and kind. I worked with him at an event, and months later, I ran into him at another event. He remembered my name and walked up to me and gave me a hug.

On the other end of the spectrum, not surprisingly, Draymond Green is a complete asshole. Rude, arrogant, entitled, and with all the emotional restraint of a kindergartner who's had his toy taken away from him.

Likewise, Barry Bonds is a supremely arrogant asshole. I helped him when he attended an event, and he literally looked up, nose in the air, and wouldn't respond to anything I said to him. Total prick.

I take great pleasure in knowing Draymond Green would hate that I frequently imagine fucking him deeply.

I met Axl in Vegas while waiting for a flight to PHX about 18 years ago. He was quiet and sitting alone but when asked told me several hilarious stories about the recording of Appetite. This was pre-Botox so he looked pretty normal. He has that odd X-factor that so many lead singers possess where they arent conventionally attractive but clearly have charisma and intensity that puts them in a different league of entertainers. On the opposite end of the spectrum I met Gavin at Fred Segal within that same year and while he was lovely to look at, he had the magnetism of a jr high biology teacher. Julia Roberts = twat - I’ve encountered her a few times. My daughter who is now 26 has a good story where she was managing a pop-up in the Hamptons during college one summer and JR tried to barge in as they were closing but she and her fellow Zoomers locked the door in her face bc JR was so rude. Extra points bc none of them had seen that garbage dump Pretty Woman, so they had no real understanding of the irony of their snub.

Ed Zwick's story what Julia Roberts did to fuck over Shakespeare in Love put me off her for good. Unprofessional.

I did like the tag on this one from the Reddit thread:

[quote]Oprah! I was at Buckingham fountain in Chicago with my daughter, who was 6. She had just gotten the show ( it was still AM Chicago). I was about to say hi, she put her hand in my face and said "No autographs". my daughter said, "Who is that?" I said, "Nobody!

Hunter Pence is an absolute sweetheart and gorgeous to boot.

I was molested by Tim Conway.

Worse, R39, she was overheard saying "That was rather boring."

I had the misfortune of coming into close contact with that rat-faced Rosanna Arquette at Sundance one year. What a nasty piece of work that one is.

[quote]Ruth McDevitt hit me in the head with a fondue pot.

Was the fondue pot OK?

Steve Harvey is the nastiest nelly queen.

I was in Orlando with my husband and a friend. We took hin to Disney with us as a birthday gift. It turned out there was a big horror convention in town and he was a huge Horror movie fan so we decided to go to that one day rather than the parks, because it was his vacation too. The night before we wen out to dinner at a fairly fancy restaurant. It was pretty quiet when we were sat with not many people in the restaurant. We were sat in a booth, my husband and I on one side, our friend on the other. Almost immediately a couple is sat behind us (my friend's back to them). I recognized the woman in the couple It was Tara Reid. I leaned forward and whispered to our friend, "don't say anything and don't look right away but I think Tara Reid is right behind you." He screams NUH HUH really loude, spins around, looks right at her, and goes OMG. Fan girls out so bad her and her date get up and leave. I could not blame her.

Not a celebrity encounter but my niece is a sports physical therapist, when she was working on her PHD she was assigned to the university sports teams. Basketball, baseball and football. She said the baseball players were the biggest sluts of all by far. I always think of that when I'm watching MLB.

I ran into Cam Reddish of the Lakers a few weeks ago as he was thinking of renting a house in my neighborhood. He was very nice but his male "friend" was a complete bitch. I think he purposely chose someone like that to have a relationship with so he would have someone to do his dirty work. I got some satisfaction seeing they were not a cute couple and gay NBA players go through lovers almost as fast as the straight ones

R30 While assisting him in a store, Kanye West called my salesbottom friend a faggot in 2006. To be fair, he was and is pretty faggy.

I love that in that Reddit thread Candace Cameron Bure is called out as a phony narcissist who turns on the "sweet" act for the camera and then turns it right back off. She has crazy eyes.

I met Alison Brie at a cocktail party at Malibu in 2018. She asked me if she could hold my drink for a second as I adjusted the slingback on my heels. I was very appreciative of that. While she was holding my drink, she spat a huge wad of phlegm into it. I thought that was really rude.

Elie Wiesel came to speak to my high school. The presentation started late and he only had a few minutes to speak. He started yelling at a couple of teachers that he had traveled a long distance to speak so briefly and that he wouldn’t have come if he had known how little he’d get to speak.

It seemed oddly petty.

I enjoyed reading about all the negative interactions with Winona Ryder on the Reddit thread. Im Gen X and she is so worshipped and deified. I see her as a psycho, insufferable bitch who is largely unliked in the industry for good reasons. I really think she’s bipolar.

Not a celeb, a parasite and a hanger-on Cindy Adams, vile and still alive. Rude and evil.

Julia Roberts, ungainly in appearance with a gray skin complexion and a superiority complex.

Cindy Adams is a such a relic from another time. I've always heard she's a huge cunt.

[quote]He wanted shock collars put on the squirrels to stop them from being too loud.

I'm sorry but I don't believe this part.

[quote] I met Gavin at Fred Segal

Who is Gavin, precious? Gavin MacLeod? Gavin Newsom, Gavin Rossdale, Gavin Creel, etc, etc.

If that post was even partially true about Musk, he was just being a complete troll. It’s kind of funny. Maybe he should invent shock collars for squirrels since he sees a need for them…

Shawn spit it out.

r38 embarrassed herself

Mario Van Peebles was in a line dancing contest.

They only laugh at your jokes because you are wealthy.

[quote] He has that odd X-factor that so many lead singers possess

Axl Rose is one of the best rock front men of all time. He really had stage presence, not even considering his vocal range.

However, I always got Neo-Nazi vibes from him. Plus, IIRC, he reportedly beat up one of his girlfriends (Stephanie Seymour), early fame time.

Now, he seems a lot more humble. He's lost his hair, he's gotten fat, and his voice is shot to hell.

He performed at Lisa Marie Presley's funeral. (Who knew they were close friends?) He played piano and croaked out "November Rain." It was truly awful (it's on YouTube), but I felt for him. He said yes, I'll perform, when asked.

At a performance at Webster Hall (might have been The Ritz), Axel Rose dove into the audience from the stage, expecting to crowd surf.

They moved out of the way, and he hit the floor hard.

A hotel manager in Beverly Hills says that 90% of celebs are no trouble at all, and many don’t want any special treatment. (He said Laura Linney, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski are very low-maintenance.)

Surprisingly, he also said that Kris Jenner, Kim Kardshian, and Angelina Jolie were very gracious and treated hotel staff kindly, as did Dwayne Johnson and P!nk.

The only ones who the staff with perpetually bad attitudes are James Woods and Ice-T’s wife, Coco.

Rudest celebrity, to no one’s surprise, is the aptly-named Andy Dick.

R83 again…. Sorry: “who treat the staff…”

In 2003 I had the strange good fortune to wind up backstage at a David Bowie concert in LA. Among the people I chatted with, a very young Scarlet Johannssen was extremely nice. Martin Gore of Depeche Mode was chatty and sweet. Ian Astbury of The Cult was pompous but social. Elijah Woods had the bluest eyes I'd ever seen and was way shorter than I ever realized. He seemed almost as out of his depth as I felt. Very humble. Bowie himself was VERY gracious. He entered the room wearing a green hoodie, jeans, sneakers and a smile, nothing like the tall, imposing "Thin White Duke" you imagine in your mind. Bowie chatted for a long time with my friend, while I sort of stood there trying not to gawk, trying not to fangirl, while inside I was literally exploding.

The one person that I found to have very dark, creepy energy that night was: Lisa Marie Presley. Oh my god. She was dressed for a funeral in head-to-toe black with a wide-brimmed hat. Scowl on her face like she'd just stepped in shit and smelled it. She had mean girl energy. Since then, I have seen interviews of Lisa Marie where she seems more normal and less ominous. I also understand more about her life than I did back then -- that she was the person that actually found her dad dead on the floor. That she was devastated by her marriage and divorce to Michael Jackson and spent years trying to both win him back and also get over him. I understand she has always been a troubled soul with sad eyes, but also she was a supposedly nurturing mother. But at that time, backstage that night, among so many chatty celebs, she seemed almost demonic. All I could think was "Oh, it's Lisa Marie, the creepy SCIENTOLOGIST." I figured she was in her Scientology/Aleister Crowley mashup era. If anyone knows what was going on with her specifically in 2003 (heroin?), let me know.

A friend who coordinates international ad campaigns refuses to ever work with Gal Gadot again. She was rude to the film crew and had her team grab every garment on the designer-loan rack to take home with her, leaving the ad firm with a huge bill.

Coco, Ice-T's wife is a gold digger. She actually got busted cheating on Ice-T and they remained married. Oh, well. He may have cheated on her, as well.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R75 Gavin Rossdale.

[QUOTE] Cindy Adams is a such a relic from another time. I've always heard she's a huge cunt.

HA! Speaking of relics, I actually met Adams once while she helping 300 year old Henny Youngman walk out of a theater. She looked to be struggling and I offered to help (not immediately recognizing either of them, I was probably 20 so this was 35 years ago). She seemed nice and grateful but declined and hobbled away for her Weekend at Henny's.

The rudest high profile person I ever met was a United States Congressman, he is dead now, but he was rude and had a nasty disposition. His name was John Dingell and he was very powerful. Michigan.

[quote]Cindy Adams is a such a relic from another time. I've always heard she's a huge cunt.

She's a Russian nesting-doll set of cunts. The center one looks like a Bronx meat locker with rows and rows of coldly swaying beef carcasses on hooks.

R70, you really aren't on Elie Wiesel's side in that scenario? They invited him to speak and he traveled a long way for it, but they started it late and cut his time short. I think he was right to be angry. They were disrespectful to him.

I’ve heard that Rollo Tomassi commits all kind of wrongdoing and never gets held accountable for it.

I took my nephew to a sci fi convention / autograph thing. Richard Dreyfuss was there doing autographs. My nephew didn't really care about him enough to pay for an autograph, but the way the line was structured, you could walk right by him and look. We walked by and we heard him saying to a very young kid (maybe 10ish), "Do you even know who I am? So you saw Jaws? What else have you seen? Nothing, that's what I figured. So you're just here collecting autographs." He signed the kids posted and basically threw it at him. It was very weird, and the kid was very confused.

Oops - *poster

R99 - I have a Richard Dreyfuss story. He's at best 5 ft. tall and while I'm average height I towered over him. Anyway, I was at work and bent over a couch to pin something to a bulletin board and felt a presence. I look down and there's Dreyfuss looking like a scared out of his mind as if I were Godzilla about to step on him. We didn't speak and I didn't even know he was there in the building that day, but I'll never forget the look on his face. He wasn't a jerk (although I suspect he usually is), just so strange.

R95, Dreyfuss was a decent actor and he has a respectable body of work, but shit, he ought to be grateful for the fact that he is remembered at all. And Jaws is a fucking classic that reaches generations beyond it's original audiences. Fuck Richard Dreyfuss. He had Jaws and Close Encounters. What else would a 10 yr old remember!

If Richard Dreyfuss is that much of a bitter asshole then maybe he shouldn’t do Cons. Does he really need the money that badly? Maybe that’s the true source of his bitterness…

Re: Richard - he must need the money - he's doing a ton of these autograph shows

At the horror convention I talked about up thread. I stood in line with my friend who wanted to get an autograph from some old porn star. Seka maybe? She looked like a fat old housewife. I held his phone so he could get a picture with her. He bought her book and got her autograph. After I took the picture she started yelling at me. "Why didn't you buy a book?" I said I was just there to hold my friend's stuff. She yelled what you can't read? It was getting uncomfortable. Same convention I saw Sharon Ferrell who I had worked with a loooong time ago. I figured she would not remember me. She looked up and I saw that spark of recognition then she got a big smile and ran around the table to hub me. OMG I have not seen you in forever, she said as she hugged me. Do you even remember me? I asked. She said, Of course from CBS, You were so sweet. I was floored. It had been about 20 years.

Someone told me that Steven Spielberg has a whistle that only Richard can hear.

R101 Sounds like Seka, yes. She does tons of these autograph shows. She was quite stunning back in the 80s, but now she's a fat white trash frau who lives in the midwest with her white trash husband and her real name is Dottie Patton. She's also a hardcore MAGA Trumper, which just floors me, based on her past.

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine invited me to a Zoom session where fans could join and ask Seka questions. I wasn't a fan, but I was curious about what she might have to say, so I joined. Before she joined the session, the Zoom moderator informed everyone that Seka was a "lady" and we were not to say or ask her any questions that were distasteful.

When she finally joined (she was 15 minutes late), she looked like crap and acted like she was bored out of her mind. Because no one could ask her any juicy questions, all she basically talked about was how she was so famous in the 1980s. She talked a little bit about dating Sam Kinison and some rock stars, but she offered nothing particularly revelatory.

Then at the end of the session, she started hocking her stupid autobiography and autographed pictures, and ended with this diatribe about how our country was going to hell and that we needed Trump in office if were going to survive. At that point, I logged off. I was tempted to tell her to fuck off, but I restrained myself.

What I find interesting in the Reddit thread is how many people claim to have terrible encounters with "celebrities" at cons. It also lines up with stories I've heard from friends. How in the hell do you attend these conventions, charge for an autograph and/or picture and have attitude?

^ because they're failures at Hollywood or fame and cannot come to grasp with their utter lack of importance.

Yeah, the cons are not the red carpet at Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. They’re probably bitter and depressed to be eking out a living amongst the unwashed masses.

Yeah Jack, this is Faye Dunaway... Look I've raced some of the stuff from the O'Neill interview but I'm not really interested in Terry O'Neill - he's a BIG, BIG LIAR and I'm really not interested in in him and you know all and dilly-dallying and carrying over Mommie Dearest...I don't even want to discuss it in my interview or on this Lloyd-Webber thing: those are NEGATIVES and I notice that you have nothing in about Marlon Brando, you have nothing in about Johnny Depp which I did two films with, I don't expect you to get get him for an interview, but you could put some footage in of the of the Kusturica movie which I was BRILLIANT in and it was not well sold in this country you can talk about the Marlon Brando film that I was wonderful in. All the POSITIVE things along that that period, the Marlon Brando film was going on at the same time that the Lloyd-Webber STUPIDITY was going on and you all have to put in the Lloyd-Webber STUPIDITY, you can't put in that I worked with the wonderful Marlon Brando and talk to the director of that movie FOR CHRISTSAKE! And I'm not gonna approve it and I'm really upset now because that uh for two nights now tried to thread through that STUPID interview with a with a man that I will not even waste my time discussing. And and you know who, suffice it to say, stopped working when he married me and pretended to be my manager for a very long time so LET'S NOT EVEN GO THERE! It's very upsetting to me! And then to put my uh our child in JEOPARDY the way he has. So I'm not interested in these NEGATIVE things that you all are putting in there with me in! I don't want Llloys-Webber in, I'd like you to cut him out, and I'd like you to really trim down everything to do with that Mommie Dearest, I'm not gonna talk about it, maybe one thing I'm gonna say about it and THAT'S ALL. It's just like uh you know an obsession, why can't you be obsessed about POSITIVE THINGS?! About Marlon Brando? About the Kusturica movie that was THE HIT OF ALL THE EUROPE AND CANNES? About uh, the film I did with Brando and talk to that, YOU KNOW?!

I had a couple of d-list friends who attended these things all the time. One was an old pro, this was the only way she could make her "monthly nut." She was always gracious with her fans. She knew where her bread was buttered. The other was a soap guy who's oxygen was attention from the fau who watched his show. He lived for the adoration.

I observed an Academy Award winning actress in a little store in Provincetown. She could not have been ruder to the poor salesperson. I want to respect her privacy, but let's just say I'd Fargo any future interactions with her.

Was this at Buckets 'R Us, R109?

R109 Would you recognize her if you saw her on a billboard? Or three?

R109, As someone who was a longtime neighbor of Frances McDormand’s in NYC, I can vouch for the fact that she is stone cold, the least friendly neighbor on an otherwise friendly street. That resting bitch face and inability to smile that she affects on award shows is her real life public persona — period.

Having said that, I haven’t seen her on my old street for years, not since before Covid. I had heard that she and husband Joel Coen relocated to LA during lockdown, their adopted son is grown up and has flown the coop and though I very occasionally see Coen srill around, never her. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn they are quietly living separate lives. She’s certainly cold comfort.

What I want to know is, did Faye Dunaway ever make a film with Brando?

R112 - OK, one more Frances McDormand story. Again, quite some time ago. I was at the Lortel for the Obies (not a nominee, but friends were) and I was coming in close to start time into a very crowded small lobby. I get to the interior door to enter the auditorium at the exact same time a woman's hand reaches out to grab the door handle, but I got to it first. I turned to open the door for her and saw it was Frances McDormand who glared at me like I had just kicked her in the cunt bone. I think she was insulted by the whole man-opens-a-door-for-a-woman pseudo feminist horseshit. After an eternal moment she finally just shrugged with a "fuck it" expression and breezed past me. And no, she did not say thank you let alone smile wanly. In hindsight, I wish I had said, "Age before beauty," but that probably would've gotten me kicked out.

"What I want to know is, did Faye Dunaway ever make a film with Brando?”

Yes, r133. Mommie Dearest, with Jocelyn Brando.

Oh, and Don Juan DeMarco, with Marlon.

My first job in NYC (late 80s) was working box office and house for a then-hugely popular, long-running show off-Broadway. They had brought in a "name" to boost ticket sales and prep her for the next national tour: Dody Goodman. At the time I was watching late night reruns of Mary Hartman and recognized her instantly. For whatever reason she decided to eat her lunch (tuna sandwich) in the lobby alone rather than backstage with the other actors and crew, so it was just me and her. I was working, walking back and forth and without approaching her I said, "Ms. Goodman, I really enjoyed you on Mary Hartman. I've been watching it lately in reruns." Without even turning to look at me she said, "My goodness. Do people still watch that thing?" Then went back to her tuna sandwich with vacant dead eyes.

Conversely, I was selling tickets one day to a different hit show and I got a phone call from Imogene Coca. She gave her name and began to spell it when I stopped her and said she was famous and I knew the spelling. You'd think I'd just gave her part of my liver. She was delighted to know someone so young knew who she was. It was touching, really.

So, fuck off, Dody.

Why I'll Never Be Polite to the Help.

Jesus Christ, R1 cunts about Reddit but this thread has everything BUT gossip. The Reddit thread is 1000% better than this shit.

The Reddit thread has many, many eyes on it. This place has a fraction of the active users.

That Reddit thread is great

I went to college with DJ Qualls and he was so fun and friendly. We had classes together and worked on a few group projects. I ran into him in a restaurant after he had a few movies out and we talked briefly and he was such a prick. Pissy queen. He lies about his age.

Speaking of DJ Qualls, is he still engaged to that actor no one would have pegged for being gay?

R122 don’t see anything that says otherwise.

R107, they asked for the rudest celebs, not the craziest!

Frances McDormand raped me. Left me naked on the kitchen floor.On the way out she flicked her cig ashes on my bleeding ass.

Hey R108 Kevin Spirtas? Hung around with him and he thrived on it. Can't blame him though.

I've had a few unexpected run-ins with Frances McDormand and once even had a long, gracious conversation with her. She is down-to-earth and friendly for the most part, though leery, I think, of movie fans who want to discuss her work from 25 years ago.

The rudest?

Hmm...

I've met a lot of celebrities and worked with quite a few as well, from Kanye to Liza. But the rudest one (and I hope I'm not forgetting someone who deserves it) was Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser, of all people. DOUCHE EXTRAORDINAIRE.

Roberta Flack

Worked with her twice. Diva, rude and uncooperative.

Not rude, but nuts: Wynona Judd

r129 How is that relevant to this thread, then?

Who cares, but I'd like to know why Wy is described at "nuts." Although I'm not surprised to hear her described as nuts, would be nice to hear some details.

I hear from my cater waiter buddies that Cynthia Nixon is nasty. More than one source.

I've heard the opposite, R132. I've heard Rojo Caliente is the cunt and Cynthia often has to play good cop when they are out and about.

What did/do r127 and r128 do for a living? Acting and singing?

Fess Parker

My parents told me that back in early 70s, they were in Vegas and were sitting at the bar of a restaurant. A woman came up and sat next to them, and my dad whispered to my mom that it was Joanne Worley.

My mother loved the show Laugh In back then, so she turned to Joanne Worley and said, "Miss Worley, I just wanted to let you know I love you on Laugh In."

Joanne Worley just kept looking straight ahead, rolled her eyes, then got up and left the bar.

She was a real cunt.

[quote] I hear from my cater waiter buddies that Cynthia Nixon is nasty. More than one source.

Cynthia Nixon is the new Tina Louise.

BeBe Neuwirth's neighbors will twll you what a cold bitch she is.

Cynthia Nixon doesn't tip. Bartenders hate her. especially lesbian bartenders she has stiffed.

R136 That’s awful. Apparently Charlize Theron is the same way and once did that to Tia Mowry at the airport. Tia had time and revealed it all on social media.

[quote] especially lesbian bartenders she has stiffed.

Cynthia should be so lucky

Actually it was a soul cycle class not the airport. I’ve also heard people on this site say she is a bitch. She seems like a bitch in this interview just one that is smart and media trained.

KRTH morning hostess (forgot her name but hate her and her laugh) always relates how Charlize showed up to a children's benefit and after her photos, she simply walked out leaving all those kids waiting for autographs in the lurch.

R143, how would these kids even know who she is?

R144, this was many many years ago. But anyways, if you've gone to any of these celebrity functions, the kids are always excited to meet anyone who's called a celebrity and I think Charlize had already won the Oscar. The DJ 's name was Lisa Stanley.

Were the kids retarded?

[quote] she simply walked out leaving all those kids waiting for autographs in the lurch.

Well, it's not as if those little bastards had much time left to enjoy it anyway.

[quote] the kids are always excited to meet anyone who's called a celebrity

I always counted on that.

R70 has something wrong with it.

Thanks for clarifying, R145.

R9- I don’t know if Elon Musk counts as a celebrity but he certainly counts as a

HUMPTY DUMPTY

A late but fun entry on that thread:

[quote]Ugh I worked at a super high end hotel and Vera Wang was just awful. She had her assistant tell the front desk to let everyone in the hotel know to not even look at her. Like wtf? She went into the restaurant and apparently had her assistant order her food for her and wouldn’t speak to the server. Oh and she looks old as shit in person, the whole “Vera Wang doesn’t age” thing is based off a whole lot of photoshop.

[quote]We also had JLo and Aaron Rodrigues come in. They demanded to be called Sir and Madam. It was bizarre because ARod had come in several times prior and was always extraordinarily nice to us all but was only rude when he was with her.

R131. I described Wynona Judd as nuts because she seemed rather unstable, always talking about the relationship with her mother, which was dysfunctional. She was unreliable about media interviews, rather scatterbrain crazy, and then continued talking about her screwball family on stage.

However, I will say, when she sang and joked with the audience, she was fun and put on a good show. She was entertaining and the audience liked her, and she has a good voice. I had to deal with her from a pr/media standpoint, and she was kind of annoying and nutty.

[quote]Fess Parker

I know that's meant to be a joke, but Fess Parker was really a very sweet man.

There's another hilarious one where Ronan Farrow pulled the "don't you know who I am" on someone and then emailed his Wiki to whom I suspect was his intended trick.

^ "OH! You're the son of that Rosemary woman with the devil's baby!"

R152- She sounds so fuckin uppity.

R139- At the same time this fuckin kook thinks it's perfectly okay for RIFF RAFF to steal up to $900 worth of merchandise from CVS and not be prosecuted.

Andy Coen was in a restaurant in Miami. His table was surrounded by his security, who told the waiter he did not want to be bothered by people. The waiter asked who he was, and when he was told, he said WHO? Andy would not order directly but would tell his security what he wanted, and they would tell the waiter.

R159- No one I am sure would bother to bother his CHUBBY , CROSS EYED self.

Funny and sad at the same time r159. Delusional Andy Cohen thinking he's this HUGE star, like Elvis. Ridiculous little man he is.

[quote] I got "Don't you know who I am?" from Ronan Farrow. He even emailed me his Wikipedia entry so l could read up on him.

[quote] My kid was at pre-school with one of Sam Worthington's kids, and he's very standoffish. Constantly skulks around with his hood up and won't reply if you say good morning. Lara Worthington's nice though and the kids are extremely sweet and well behaved.

[quote] Also, I say this kind of begrudgingly, but one of my kids in in sports with one of Alec Baldwins kids and he's a very friendly, engaged dad.Never see Hilaria, but he's there at every practice chatting with the coaches, hanging with the front desk guys at the rec center and sitting on the uncomfortable benches with the rest of the parents.

[quote]Andy would not order directly but would tell his security what he wanted, and they would tell the waiter.

This and R152's reminded me of something I read on DL ages ago:

[quote]On one flight, in first class, Cilla Black was refusing to speak to cabin crew, never saying please or thank you, issuing all orders through her PA. The full nine yards. Eventually the flight attendant grew so tired of her behaviour, he leaned over to speak directly to her: "I knew you couldn't sing, but I didn't know you couldn't fucking speak".

[quote] We also had JLo and Aaron Rodrigues come in. They demanded to be called Sir and Madam. It was bizarre because ARod had come in several times prior and was always extraordinarily nice to us all but was only rude when he was with her.

I love that JLo is such a bitch, it can't be contained and has to start infecting other hosts.

Bill Nye the Science Guy is a dick, which I know from two personal experiences. He's not necessarily a raging asshole, he's just a sour guy, which was completely at odds with the persona I knew so well from watching and loving his videos in school. I guess he was just playing a character in the end—that's showbiz!

does Sam Worthington even work these days? What a colossal fumble of stardom.

No, it was a colossal fumble that he FOUND stardom. Very limited talent, and evidently not very nice either.

Jude Law wasn’t to nice to me when I was canvassing by Washington square park for an internship at nightclub I had.

What did ol Baldilocks say to you r168?

R168 - If you'd been an 18 year old pretty girl offering to babysit, it would have been a much different story.

[quote]Andy would not order directly but would tell his security what he wanted, and they would tell the waiter.

I certainly hope CUNT Andy enjoyed his spit covered meal, R159. I would expect being security for CUNT Andy would be an easy gig given nobody gives a fuck when they see CUNT Andy in the wild.

r171 types like Proud Papa yapping about WINE.

Celebrities should never be given special treatment. They undermine the hard work that hospitality workers put in. They must make a reservation like everyone else. Order off the menu. Pay. And tip. If not, they won't be allowed back and will be shamed on social media. Celebrities are gross.

R169 “No I’m not interested in that” in the most arrogant British accent ever.

First job out of college was working at an entertainment PR firm, and the actors I met and worked with were generally pleasant people. It was their handlers (publicists, agents) who were quite often completely obnoxious

Nicole Kidman

r175 the trick there is it is the actors, they just let their people be the assholes so they can appear nice. Been in PR all my life in Hollywood. Never in my life have I met more demanding, entitled people. I had a tv actress once tell me she was going to Hawaii on vacation and wanted me to set up an interview for her with the local TV station so she could write off her trip. Not a big deal. She then told me she would insist they come to her hotel, she would do an interview over lunch and they would pay for it and she would only give them an hour. Oh and she wanted them to pay for lunch for her, her husband and her kids, who would be eating at another table. I told her I would ask but don't expect they would want to do all that. She paused and said "you are not very good at your job then are you?" I called her back an hour later and said "The station does not want to interview you. Your show is the lowest-rated show in Hawaii. I was able to get you a phone interview with the local paper. FYI I never asked the local station about the lunch part but they did decline to interview her lol,

R177 what was the actress’ name?

Fifty years ago, when I was at community college in Maryland, Harlan Ellison was hired by one of the social committees to come speak to students. Fifteen students showed up, and he screamed at us for ten minutes because it was such a pathetic crowd.

R64 - Ugh - I fucking HATE that. You tell people to be cool and prepare them and they do the EXACT OPPOSITE. I would be sooo pissed.

[quote]Fuck Richard Dreyfuss. He had Jaws and Close Encounters. What else would a 10 yr old remember!

If he's gay? "I don't like the panties drying on the rod."

[quote][R177] what was the actress’ name?

Shirley Booth.

Nicole Kidman

I thought it was Salma.

Salma Hayek. She can't keep her hands off me. I gave her some advice.

R136. I’ve met her and she’s delightful.

R166, Sam Worthington is one of the better things in Kevin Costner’s flop of a western, “Horizon,” and his romance with Sienna Miller is the only thing of any interest that actually works in the movie.

Sam is looking slightly worn as befits a fair-skinned redhead edging into middle age. But as someone who always liked his looks, I thonk he’s looking fine.

A friend of mine who was a limo driver used to work for a number of shows including Letterman and SNL. This was back in the mid to late 80s.

He said most of the celebrities he drove were perfectly civil, including famed horrors such as Lauren Bacall and Marlon Brando.

Letterman was cold and uncommunicative to the point of weirdness.

Paul Shaffer was abusive, whiny, always late, blamed the driver for everything, had a filthy mouth and was generally an egotistical asshole.

RDJ started out as friendly and talkative and then got sadder and quieter as things progressed. He was filming a movie (Less Than Zero, I assume) on the west coast between shows for SNL in New York and started looking more and more unwell. His last trip he burst into tears when he arrived at the airport. Since it was the last time my friend saw him I assume it was the day SNL canned him.

The rudest celebrities I ever met personally were through the art world - Richard Serra (pompous and theatrically bored by everyone), Maya Lin (insane bitch), the talent-free asshole Damien Hurst, the snobbish and class-obsessed Zaha Hadid. Alan Rickman was profoundly unimpressed by my attempt at conversation, but it was only a few months before his death and he looked ill and in pain.

David Copperfield.

r178 I will save it for the book as I am still working and if I say, it would take all of 10 minutes for someone to deciper who I work for,

Morrissey, hands down.

r178, I'll guess: Lauren Graham

My financial advisor used to events in Hollywood and she said the rudest she encountered—and not just on one occasion, was Jamie Foxx. Also, D-list and influencers.

R193. That tired bitch?

Who would even notice him?

R 182. So sorry to hear that abut Shirley Booth. Loved her performance in Come Back Little Sheba. So vulnerable. Well, I suppose that’s why they call it acting.

[quote] Shirley Booth.

Was Hawaii even a state then?

Chuckles the Clown

It was all an act.

Lauren Graham doesn’t have a husband and kids. I’m gonna guess Patty Heaton

R115 What I would PAY to have someone say to her face that they loved her film with Brando, only to then clarify they meant Jocelyn.
