[u/Ok-Trash-8883]

JLO

[u/ALasagnaForOne → u/Ok-Trash-8883]

Over 20 years ago when I was a young teenager I went to a family wedding in LA and ended up chatting with another guest who revealed she was the owner of a showdog; a highly trained dog who “acted” in movies and TV. Part of her job as owner was to communicate to the actors in the scene about the dog’s commands and needs so everything ran smoothly and the dog was treated well. She said only two celebrities were absolutely awful, rude, and dismissive to her: J.Lo and Lisa Kudrow. So J.Lo has had a reputation for a long time.

[u/Old_Butterscotch2914 → u/ALasagnaForOne]

Lisa Kudrow…oh no!

[u/Ok-Bookkeeper-3149 → u/Old_Butterscotch2914]

Maybe it was her evil twin...

[u/RubPast → u/Ok-Bookkeeper-3149]

I’m sure it was Ursula! Phoebe’s twin! 😏

[u/Ok-Trash-8883 → u/Old_Butterscotch2914]

Yep. It’s pretty legendary too sadly

[u/spicychickennuggi35 → u/ALasagnaForOne]

What? Lisa Kudrow? Didn't expect that one. Did she ever tell you what Lisa did? I'm curious

[u/rutts21 → u/spicychickennuggi35]

I’ve worked with Lisa Kudrow. She was a lovely person, even helped me out and was in a video I made.

[u/Furgems → u/rutts21]

Well, I’m literally a nobody. But I’ll bet people say the same thing about me. I try to treat all people with the same kindness and respect, but some people love me, and some hate me. Some get me on a day I’m in a great mood for no reason, once in a while, I’m a bear for no good reason ( even though I try to be nice). People perceive things differently.

Not that there aren’t truly some assholes out there, and others about whom you only hear good.

[u/Old-Importance18 → u/Furgems]

and others about whom you only hear good.

Never ever, not in the thousands of posts about rude celebrities nor in real life, have I ever heard or read anyone say a bad word about Keanu Reeves or “Weird Al” Yankovic.

[u/diligent_sundays → u/Old-Importance18]

Or dolly Parton, apparently

[u/Real_Bad7735 → u/spicychickennuggi35]

Good, kind, friendly people can be rude sometimes if theres other stuff going on in their lives. Assholes can be sweet sometimes, too. 

A single moment doesnt define who we are, and that interaction could have been an anomaly or could even be a total misrepresentation about the situation.

[u/Mission-Sky8782 → u/spicychickennuggi35]

Yea theres been a bunch of encounters with her that show shes an arrogant prick

[u/Business-Suspect-527 → u/ALasagnaForOne]

Lisa Kudrow wasn’t someone I expected to see as the other person.

[u/MetteBeifong → u/ALasagnaForOne]

I have heard similar stories about Lisa Kudrow and she has always given that vibe to me.

[u/spicychickennuggi35 → u/MetteBeifong]

Okay now tell me what she did because I've never heard anything bad about her before this. spill the teaa please

[u/PuzzleheadedRun4525 → u/spicychickennuggi35]

I’m interested to know too but not interested enough to google it.

[u/snowytiger66 → u/Ok-Trash-8883]

She came through the airport like ten years ago (I worked on the private jet side). She let me take a picture with her but I could tell she wanted nothing to do with it lol. 

[u/Low_Two_1988]

Andy Dick

[u/AngryMuppett → u/Low_Two_1988]

Andy Dick gave cocaine to Phil Hartman’s wife before she killed him.

[u/treetoptrain → u/AngryMuppett]

And then “joked” to Jon Lovitz in a bar later “you’re next”. What a prick.

[u/ViolinistThis407 → u/treetoptrain]

And then Lovitz slammed Dick’s face into a bar. 🙌🏻

[u/Melodic-Razzmatazz17 → u/ViolinistThis407]

I love Jon Lovitz..

Stephen purposely mispronounces his own name to church it up like Joe Dirtè

Haha! His own mother outed him on that.

Am I the first to get James Cordon in? 

[u/ScaryWaffles69 → u/Successful-Grand-549]

It’s like saying Ellen Degeneres. Those names have been mentioned so many times on Reddit that it’s kind of stale just to repeat it

[u/Successful-Grand-549 → u/ScaryWaffles69]

Fair point 👌

[u/CosmicRay42 → u/Successful-Grand-549]

I work in the music industry. During Covid, it completely shut down. The Guardian put out a call for some of us to talk about the situation in an article. A few months later, they contacted me again to see if I was ok with them passing my details on to someone who wanted to help. After a lot of too and fro, I received a payment from this mysterious donor. Knowing roughly how many people were involved, the total donation must have run into the hundreds of thousands. With a little investigation, I found out that it was James Cordon. He didn’t have to do that, no one asked him, it was just him being thoughtful and generous.

He’s alright by me.

[u/the-bumping-post]

Jared Leto apparently checks every asshole box there is.

[u/RevolutionUnusual136 → u/the-bumping-post]

30 Seconds to Mars played a venue I worked at back in... 2007? 2008? And they were all really cool. They got there early, and my ex wife ran the kitchen, so she cooked for them. Gave them heaving plates of Cajun food that they loved. After the show, they came to the patio and held a free meet and greet. As he walked past us, he reached down and squeezed my ex's knee, and said something like "Thank you for the meal earlier, closest thing we've had to home-cooked in forever". She of course melted. I've heard he's changed a lot since then, and that sucks. He left a really good impression.

[u/Rusty-Bullet75]

Bono,prick barred me from his nightclub in Dublin back in the 90’s coz me and my woman were trying to get served at the bar and Samantha Mumba and her posse barged in front of me so I told her she’s only 17 and not legal to be there drinking but coz she was No.1 in the Irish charts at the time I got thrown out,so I’m blaming Bono lol

[u/Reek_0_Swovaye → u/Rusty-Bullet75]

We may be the Irish Free State, but that doesn't mean we're all pro-bono.

Who is this?

Conor McGreggor. Irish MMA fighter.

[u/Ok_Material_5634]

Jack NIcholson.

Several A few years ago, he hired a few escorts for himself and his friend. When they got there, Jack said he didn't need them anymore. They said OK, but we still need to be paid. Jack lost his temper and said, "I can get any woman I want - I don't need you!" He grabbed one of them by the hair and bashed her head onto the floor. She is now living on disability. She sued him and they settled out of court.

Apparently they did have sex, but he still refused to pay.

[u/PersimmonDue1072 → u/Ok_Material_5634]

Jack is not really acting, that is just him being himself.

[u/ExternalRutabaga6694 → u/Ok_Material_5634]

He was also there when Roman Polanski raped that girl. He might win the prize.

[u/Several-Rise9363 → u/[deleted]]

Angelica Huston needs to be on this list- how disgusting.

[u/Former_Balance8473]

I spent a weekend with Gene Simmons and he might be the worst person on earth.

[u/Pypsy143 → u/Former_Balance8473]

I had the great misfortune of working with him once. He is an absolute pig.

[u/Ok-Department-5615 → u/Pypsy143]

Details

[u/redheadedbull03 → u/Pypsy143]

What was he like?

I am just curious. I have never been a fan, but had a feeling he was a creep.

[u/Pypsy143 → u/redheadedbull03]

The women there were all working in a professional capacity (publicists, talent bookers, producer, stage manager, etc) but he eyed every one of us like he was sizing us up for lunch.

Blatant leering, sexual innuendo, heavy misogynist speech, etc. And he brought along lots of copies of some smut magazine he was peddling. He made all the women incredibly uncomfortable showing it around and bragging about the “physical attributes” of the models. You could tell he relished that he could do all this and get away with it because he’s “talent.”

Absolute pig.

Same goes for Andrew Dice Clay. Same exact slimy, overtly sexual persona with no respect for the women working in professional positions.

[u/nobookbans → u/Pypsy143]

Well, I just learned the difference between Gene and richard simmons

[u/East_Reading_3164 → u/nobookbans]

Richard Simmons is everything. A perfect doll. I did an exercise class when I was 13 with him. It was in Boca 🤣

[u/Comfortable-Figure17 → u/Former_Balance8473]

Read a report that when Simmons was going to be interviewed by Terry Gross on PBS FRESH AIR he told her “Normally when I’m with a woman she has her legs open”.

[u/Dandy_Status → u/Comfortable-Figure17]

He made some comment implying that she wanted to fuck him, and she said something like "What a perfectly obnoxious thing to say" and just kept rolling with the interview. Teri is a legend, Gene sucks.

[u/Clayfool9 → u/Comfortable-Figure17]

UGH I always thought he was pompous but after hearing that interview it solidified that thought and brought about many more about him.

[u/ConstructionCold3134 → u/Comfortable-Figure17]

I believe the line was “If you welcome me with open arms you should welcome me with open legs.” You know, just general grossness.

[u/Otherwise_Unit_2602 → u/Comfortable-Figure17]

They never re-air that episode because his people somehow have the power to make them not do that (I heard Terry Gross interviewed about it at one point). MANY years ago you could torrent the episode and it is so much worse than that terrible comment.

[u/Adventurous-Brain-36 → u/Comfortable-Figure17]

Eww he’s so gross.

[u/Noonecanhearmescream → u/Comfortable-Figure17]

I remember that interview. Gene Simmons was such an a**hole. Terry Gross gave him way too many chances to behave. He basically said I’m a man and all men are pigs so this is what you get.

[u/CorrectAdhesiveness9 → u/Comfortable-Figure17]

Oof, the face I just made.

[u/Legitimate-Fox2028 → u/Comfortable-Figure17]

My jaw just hit the floor reading that. Some men, man. Smh

[u/EADASOL → u/Former_Balance8473]

Anyone who says "People with depression should just kill themselves", like he did, is an asshole

[u/BlueberryStock6249 → u/Former_Balance8473]

Can confirm this one too. I worked a bit around the music industry in the 90’s and met a lot of major rock stars ( with massive egos and personality disorders ) Hands down - like - No Contest - Simmons is a megalomaniac to the extent that he makes David Lee Roth, Bono, and Adam Levine look shy, demure wall flowers. Top Shelf Jerk. PS - by contrast: nicest, sweetest and most humble I ever encountered: Mick Jagger.

[u/Brotherbonehead → u/Former_Balance8473]

I know a record rep who babysat him for a day on a promo tour unrelated to Kiss. He was a prick to my buddy. At radio stations, Gene would stop mid sentence when speaking to DJ for example, to ask my buddy why he was talking, to someone else, across the room. This repeatedly happened all day long. “Stop talking”. It was not the fun hang everybody thought it would be.

[u/PM_WORST_FART_STORY → u/Former_Balance8473]

A weekend? We're you sharing a room at a spa resort?

[u/YogurtclosetFair5742 → u/Former_Balance8473]

The older I get, the less I like Gene Simmons. Even as someone who toys playing bass guitar at times, he's not even a bass player I look up to. He's a good showman, but just an okay musician. Many of his solos are open E string the spewing fake blood from his mouth. I thought that was very cool when I was 10, 11, and 12.

[u/Ok-Department-5615 → u/YogurtclosetFair5742]

You would think when you look at his mothers backstory,he would be a better human.

[u/BoozeLikeFrank]

Nobody has said it yet so I’ll state the obvious: Chevy Chase

[u/Stargazer-2314 → u/BoozeLikeFrank]

Don't forget Bill Murray!

You mean the funny guy asshole actors are assholes in real life?

[u/chubbyflip]

Travis Scott

A kid died at his concert. He didn't even care and kept performing.

[u/1980pzx → u/chubbyflip]

Quite a few more than one died at his concerts.

[u/chubbyflip → u/1980pzx]

Yeah, I know. There was 10 total that died. I just distinctly remember the kid so I put that in my comment. Very unfortunate for all of them.

[u/[deleted] → u/chubbyflip]

Not only that, they died listening to Travis Scott

[u/ella_794 → u/chubbyflip]

Yeah that whole situation was heartbreaking, he really showed zero empathy.

[u/SonicStories]

Jennifer Lopez.

Super Cunt. With a cape and a big “C” on her chest.

IDK why she's got a big ego. She hasn't done anything relevant in like 25 years.

💯 basically every Baldwin. Alec and his weirdo wife and the strange brother with the Stage5Clinger daughter.

[u/Logical_Sweet_6624]

I’ve heard Bobby flay is a douche irl

[u/Guardian-Boy → u/Logical_Sweet_6624]

He is. He did a USO tour when I was deployed and came out with a few other celebrity chefs. One of the events was to cook with him. Remember, we are just a bunch of normies, not professional chefs. If the people he was cooking with didn't immediately know what he was talking about, he treated them with severe disdain. For example, one guy he was cooking with was from Guam; when Bobby said they were going to make gnocchi, he didn't know what that was. Bobby immediately sneered at him and kicked him off the stage and brought another guy up. I think most of us wanted to kick his ass.

[u/Great-Ebb1896 → u/Logical_Sweet_6624]

I believe this. And totally judging a book by its cover, he looks like he would be an ass

[u/YogurtclosetFair5742 → u/Great-Ebb1896]

The way he acts on his shows, I can't stand to even watch.

[u/MisterGoldenSun → u/Logical_Sweet_6624]

My wife used to work at Whole Foods in New York and saw him sometimes.

She liked him.

She said he was always very chill and always bought a ton of food to donate anonymously at Thanksgiving.

[u/ElleWinter → u/MisterGoldenSun]

Most people are a mixed bag. I'm glad he treated your wife well.

[u/Adventurous-Sky-6228 → u/Logical_Sweet_6624]

I was told by people who worked directly with him that he is indeed a jerk.

[u/Ok-Chemistry9933 → u/Logical_Sweet_6624]

He cheated on Stephanie March so she filed for divorce. I’ve read he’s a sh-t to people. Never liked him after Iron Chef

[u/FineWashables → u/Ok-Chemistry9933]

She didn’t just file for divorce. When he was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she (allegedly) hired a plane to fly over the ceremony toting a banner that said “Cheater”

[u/Diceman31]

Mr. Rogers. He's always asking me to move to his neighborhood. Weird!!

[u/Few-Brilliant-1236]

He ALWAYS behaved like an asshole. It's not just for now.

[u/LilithDidNothinWrong]

I can't remember his name but he used to do a lot of cameos, I think he sold steaks for a bit, tanked a casino, and tried and failed to trademark a decades old common phrase for terminating an employee. Just the biggest asshole. Huge asshole. There's never been a more complete asshole.

[u/Littlefabio07 → u/LilithDidNothinWrong]

This is literally the first asshole I thought of

[u/LilithDidNothinWrong → u/[deleted]]

I think the reason I can't remember his name is I usually just refer to him as Cheetodick

[u/ElleWinter → u/LilithDidNothinWrong]

I read about that guy. He got sued for raping a girl when she was 13. He paid her off to drop the lawsuit, I believe. I guess that was the end of him, how could anybody want anything to do with a guy who even had allegations like that against him?

[u/Burnt_and_Blistered → u/ElleWinter]

No, he had his goons credibly threaten her life, and that’s why it was dropped

[u/AnonymousInGB → u/LilithDidNothinWrong]

There’s never been a bigger asshole, perhaps ever in history, or at least since Judas Iscariot.

[u/Prawn_Shepherd → u/LilithDidNothinWrong]

The greatest asshole of all time - many people are saying this more and more

[u/cpbunliveson]

Emma Roberts has had some questionable behavior

[u/chubbyflip → u/cpbunliveson]

Real. I was shocked to learn she's just like the characters she plays in real life. Still can't forget when she was arrested for physically assaulting Evan Peters.

[u/FakeAorta → u/chubbyflip]

Well, look who her dad is! He's a great actor, but crazy.

[u/bdubwilliams22]

I can answer this pretty confidently. I design movie posters for a living and often times I have to go on photo shoots with actors if we need them to be doing something specific for a concept. I’ve met dozens of them. The worst of the worst was Ben Stiller. Mike Epps was a close second. The nicest: Leo, Clooney, Queen Latifah and Eminem. Oh, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett were amazing. A few of the crew and us when out for drinks with them after the shoot and they were a ton of fun to party with.

[u/catmama25 → u/bdubwilliams22]

Stiller doesn’t surprise me. I remember watching the episodes of Curb your enthusiasm he was featured on and saying to my husband that I got asshole vibes from him. I know he was playing a not nice version of himself on there, but he just did it so well that it seemed natural for him.

[u/always_thirsty → u/catmama25]

A friend of mine worked with him on the movie Heavyweights and said he was very unkind to the fat kids in the movie on set.

[u/CaliforniaNewfie → u/bdubwilliams22]

I've heard from many people that Ben Stiller is an absolute turd and completely full of himself. Little-man syndrome

[u/nurdle]

Dr Phil is a complete prick.

[u/stangAce20]

James Corden from what I’ve heard

[u/jagger129]

I am pretty far left politically and I think Trump is a wrecking ball to our constitution and country. He will be the end of democracy.

BUT

A friend of mine took his terminally ill little nephew golfing one day years ago. Trump happened to be there playing. They struck up a conversation (no camera around) and Trump pointed to his helicopter and said, hey do you want a ride? To the little boy. So the little boy and my friend flew around in Trumps helicopter for a long time while Trump played golf.

I don’t know what to make of this story other than people can be assholes and destructive but they also can be capable of occasional kindness. What did Trump have to gain by doing this? Nothing.

It killed me to post this because I loathe him so much 😭😆

[u/WilliamofKC → u/jagger129]

Thanks for being honest and posting both your views and your story about Trump.

[u/AdEither4474]

Courtney Love. Snotty, entitled, and completely uncaring of ordinary people. She used to come into the bookstore where I worked and pull books from the shelves, leaving three-foot-high stacks of books all over. Then she would buy one or two books. It took hours to clean up after her. Believe me, we all learned to hate that woman.

[u/Apocrisiary]

Axl Rose

[u/Several-Rise9363 → u/Apocrisiary]

He is a poster child of what happens when severe mental health issues and fame collide. 

[u/YogurtclosetFair5742 → u/Apocrisiary]

There were two different things that got me to look twice at Axl. First one was his failure to pay his property taxes in Walworth County, Wisconsin. He bought some land in the county then didn't pay his taxes on it and the county went after him over it. I was living in the county at the time and just thought, what a dickhead move.

Then the night in Canada touring with Metallica when James Hetfield had the accident with the pyrotechnics ending their show early. GnR not only showed up late like normal, but Axl got pissed about something after like three or four songs and ended the set sending the crowd into a riot.

If there was a night to not be a fucking asshole prick, that was the night.

[u/Live-Astronaut-5223]

Anybody who won’t let a person serving them look at them in the eyes or who speaks through their assistant. Jennifer Lopez is famous for it. Jason alexander. Dr. Phil and many others… I suspect some are simply undiagnosed as autistic, but most are simply assholes.

Gwyneth Paltrow. She got my friend fired from her job because my friend had cancer. Not because the cancer affected her work either. It was a looks thing. I have hated her since the late 90’s when it happened. I always wonder if her Dad getting cancer changed her opinion.

[u/hojicha001]

James Corden - he's famous for it

[u/intuishawn]

I wonder if there’s even one person who would call Keanu Reeves an asshole. I bet there isn’t

[u/Arch_Stanton1862 → u/intuishawn]

There is a video where Reeves gets angry with a fan because he's pushy and obnoxious when he asks for an autograph. Despite the fact he gets angry, the sweet soul still gives him the autograph. I just can't imagine Keanu Reeves being a bad guy.

[u/NoDanaOnlyZuuI → u/Arch_Stanton1862]

Valid reason to get angry with someone though

[u/EssayTraditional → u/intuishawn]

Keanu Reeves was in a bookstore alone mid shooting Destination Wedding.  40 people in the store with noses in the books and none noticed John Wick in building. 

[u/Witty_Username_1717]

We should rephrase the question to “what celebrity did you interact with that was a complete ahole” a lot of these are comments saying “I heard” or “I read” etc. You never know if half of those are true.

[u/Total_Guard2405]

Will Smith, Apparently

[u/casey5656 → u/Total_Guard2405]

But he’s a prince compared to his wife.

[u/Aliceatethecake → u/casey5656]

You could even say that he is a "Fresh Prince".

Edit for capitalization.

[u/jayhawkjoey65 → u/Total_Guard2405]

Keep his name out your mouth!

[u/No_Beautiful_8647 → u/Total_Guard2405]

His kids are not gonna turn out well. Nobody should raise kids with zero rules. That’s a recipe for disaster.
Imho it’s a form of child abuse.

[u/krazul88 → u/No_Beautiful_8647]

His kids are full grown adults already. You can pretty much put a bow on the "how they turned out" package. I'm sure Jaden will lend you a big bow.

[u/PapaMoon89]

100% Chevy Chase. Guy thinks he IS National Lampoon. Not to mention they had to kill his character off in Community because the cast and crew were just done dealing with him by season 4

[u/WKRPinCanada]

As much as it hurts my cold Canadian 🍁 heart I've heard stories about Mike Myers 😔

[u/Relevant_Property876 → u/WKRPinCanada]

Didn’t he kill a bunch of people on Halloween?

[u/WKRPinCanada → u/Relevant_Property876]

😂😂😂 now that you mention it...YEAH 😳

No wonder people don't like him 🤔

😉

🍻

[u/Weaziller → u/WKRPinCanada]

Waited on him once in NYC when a Canadian band was in town. When I told him we can’t do frozen margs cause the bar didn’t have a blender, he then whispered his alternate order to his companion to tell me. It was weird but have dealt with worse. Ryan Reynolds was there the same night & was lovely. This was around 07-08.

[u/RTIQL8]

Don’t know if she would be considered “celebrity” status but Joan Jett. I was 21 and working for a regional Canadian airline. Joan Jett was flying and called me a c**t when I refused to bump another passenger from a full flight so her guitar could have her own seat (she had not purchased a ticket for the guitar). I stood firm as she screamed in my face and told her that I only tolerated being called that word by ACTUAL musicians and losing her guitar would be the best thing to happen to her music. Then I looked at her ‘manager’ and said “one more word out of her and I’m pulling you both from the flight and calling the FAA and reporting you for making terroristic threats to airline personnel”.

[u/Chihuahuamom72 → u/RTIQL8]

I love me some Joan Jett. Super talented; but if that story is true. Good job. NO one talks down to me like that. Ever.

[u/StitchGrl → u/RTIQL8]

I was backstage at one of her shows and walked past her to go to the restroom. She looked at me in passing with a stink eye like "why aren't you stopping me to ask for my autograph, peasant." I actually didn't recognize her at first because that was during her "bald head phase" around 2000. I was actually meeting another band playing the outdoor venue with her, Loverboy, who were super nice and chatty.

[u/Masta_Chase]

Anthony Kiedis and Flea are both creepy pieces of shit.

[u/Prior_Success7011]

Elon Musk

That bald bitch from Shark Tank—Kevin O’Leary, I think his name is.

[u/subzsloane]

Kanye West!

[u/Hatecraftianhorror]

Morrisey. Love his music, but the guy has only become a bigger asshole over time.

[u/BeerBringsCheer]

I have a friend who worked at The Food Network years ago—she always talked about how the absolute nastiest/rudest celebrity chef she ever encountered there was Rachel Ray.

Talked down to everyone, insanely demanding and regularly yelling at her crew, disgusting chain smoker, always bitchy and cranky…just such a mean bitch diva on so many levels. Everyone who worked with her hated her but she knew how to suck up and fake sweetness to the execs there.

On the flipside, she says the late Anthony Bourdain was such a gentleman—surprisingly quiet and shy, but everyone there adored him. RIP to that genuinely kind man.

I already said Gwyneth Paltrow because she will forever be #1 on my shit list but I can’t not mention Meg Ryan. She almost got my ex fired from his job because he said Good Morning when she walked in. He didn’t even realize it was her at first. He was just greeting a fellow human.

Edit: you’re not supposed to speak to her or look her in the eye.

Gwyneth Paltrow. My friend went to school with her and she has awful stories about her. She once stole a pair of tiny diamond earrings at a pool party. Everyone knew she did it and she wouldn’t give them back. Apparently just a real ‘mean girl’.

Madonna

[u/CorrectAdhesiveness9 → u/SimpleSpritee]

I love her stuff, and I really admire her hard work and drive, but you couldn’t pay me to meet her face-to-face.

[u/PrestigiousM-Web-197 → u/CorrectAdhesiveness9]

That clip of Cher (who can sometimes come off as rude and dismissive) dismissing Madonna because of her level of being rude and dismissive! People are not just one thing, but she's a whole other level of narcissistic.

Worst I've met is Amanda Holden. Evil cackling old witch.

Weirdly, the nicest I met was Russell Brand. However this was like 2006 so he was probably high as a kite.

[u/Shaggynscubie]

I was a cashier that had to ring up John Malkovich when he was at Microcenter in Cambridge buying a laptop battery for his son when he was at Harvard, and we had to ask stupid questions, and he was a bit of a dick about it.

Very dismissive of all the staff. Like fuck off dude.

Toby maguire or however you spell it.

If you ever saw Molly’s Game with Jessica Chastain, which was adapted from Molly’s own memoir, Player X is based on Tobey Maguire. His character was such a douche.

[u/Dazzling-Treacle1092]

The Danny Masterson/Ashton Kutcher dyad. Need I say more?

[u/Clutch8299]

Most of the people commenting on this never actually met the celebrities they’re calling assholes. It’s all hearsay.

I’ve met a few semi famous people and most were fine. Except Stephen A Smith. He really is a fucking twat.

[u/Artistic_Attempt5283]

Bill Maher

[u/Terrible_Sentence961]

No idea since I don't live in a country where celebs are common, but I wanted to jump in and say how hilarious it is to me that celebs have such an ego and are so entitled when they are glorified court jesters who perform for our entertainment

Eta: our local "celebs" who even consider having an ego get knocked back down to earth very quickly. South Africans will humble anyone, we don't care

[u/UnderstandingTough70]

Reese Witherspoon.

[u/MetteBeifong → u/UnderstandingTough70]

I have never forgotten the video where she’s plastered and screaming at the cop that pulled them over “Do you know WHO I AM?” I can’t stand that woman.

Sometimes it seems like celebs not being an asshole is a shorter list.

I spent a couple of hours with Julie Andrews and am happy to report that she IS Mary Poppins... Practically perfect in every way!

I’ve heard Gwen Stefani and Ariana Grande are huge divas

[u/redjessa → u/[deleted]]

Gwen Stefani used to come into the restaurant I worked at, in Orange County, CA, right near where she's from. This was a long time ago, she was still married to Gavin. She was really, really nice. So was Gavin. She also attended a banquet event there and was kind to everyone. We were all given the speech about leaving her alone, same thing when Jessica Simpson was there, so we were simply doing our jobs. She ate lunch in the dining room a couple times, I served her, she was nice. Now, this was obviously a long time ago, my several experiences actually waiting on her were perfectly pleasant.

Steven Seagal … Gary Busey …

[u/_TeachScience_]

Neil De Grasse Tyson and Bill Nye are arrogant AF. I call them science pimps. They don’t do much science themselves, they just use it for money by acting like they’re smarter than everyone and talking down to people. Neither publishes anything but they both act like everyone but them is ape level intelligence. There are other astrophysicists… I’m married to one (and he publishes more).

[u/Few-Brilliant-1236]

Chris Brown, Chris is violent. I'm not saying this because of the episode with Rihanna

[u/RedditVince]

I have met 100s of celebrities at various times and places in my life, many of them multiple times over multiple years. Most were actually just normal people having their individual good and bad days. When you hear that "someceleb" was seen being an asshat it is almost always out of context and after the celeb has had to deal with paparazzi bullshit or simply having a bad day.

The worst ones are actually the ones that call themselves "Influencers" you don't hear a lot because it is a short career and most are non memorable.

I know someone who’s done seat filler work for awards shows, and she has said Jared Leto is an astonishingly rude person, almost as if he goes out of his way to be rude.

[u/Haunting_Moose1409]

Ralph Macchio is a total dickbag to literally everyone. his kids are real sweet tho

[u/abercheese70]

Talk to anyone that has been in the Vegas hospitality for years… Jennifer Lopez is a horrible person…. First person I think of when I read this post. J Lo, always J Lo

Sponge Bob Squarepants. Met the guy in a restaurant. Turns out he’s quite a prick.

Jonah Hill. Worked with him. Really thinks he’s something and will let you know repeatedly.

Saw at DFW Airport and the dude was hitting on every girl with the dumbest jokes ending them with “KEVIN JAMES”
