Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 35 Celebrities The rudest celebrity I ever met was Jack Nicholson. I asked him for an autograph and he growled at me that he only signs autographs for “chicks with huge tits”.

Flip side nicest celebrity I ever met was Lemmy Kilmeister from Motörhead. I was at a bar and he sat down beside me. I was in awe and stammered out, “Let me buy you a drink”. He said, “Nah, you can’t do that”. I was a little dejected and hung my head. He immediately burst out in laughter and said, “Kid I’m a gawddamed rock star. Let ME buy YOU a drink.”

I then spent the night with Lemmy buying me Long Island Iced Tea while we talked about 60s British science fiction.

I was an extra in a movie starring Matthew McConaughey. He made sure every single person on and around the set ate lunch, had enough to drink, and was comfortable. After shooting, everyday, he pretty much rented out a bar/restaurant and everyone ate and drank free. He also took the time to make sure he had a conversation with everyone, no matter the importance of the role you had on set.

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 35 Celebrities Tommy Lee Jones. I was working as a security guard on the movie shoot for The Hunted. My 2nd week on the job, I was posted in front of Tommy Lee Jones’ and Benicio Del Toro’s trailers on this side street in a residential area. Basically just stand there all day and make sure nobody f***s with anything.

Day 1 was fine. I was there all day and never saw Tommy Lee Jone’s. Benicio came and went throughout the day and was super nice. He even came out and had a chat once. It was a trip because I had just seen him on TV the prior week accepting an Oscar. I congratulated him on that and he was thankful. Just seemed like an all right dude that wasn’t all up his own a*s.

Day 2 was a different story. I come in at 10am and relieve the overnight person. I’m standing there and this dog comes trotting up to me. Super friendly. I assumed it was a neighborhood dog that got out. It just kind of hung out with me for about 20 minutes until an SUV comes flying down the street and stops right before the barricade. I see an old man hop out of the back. He points and yells “HEY!” And is walking toward me with a purpose. “GET THE F**K AWAY FROM MY DOG!”

It’s at this point that I realize it’s Tommy Lee Jones. I put my hands up and I say, “Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t know it was your dog.”

I don’t know if he heard me but he walked right up to me with his driver right behind him ready to pull him back if he has to. He puts his finger in my chest and says “Why is she out? Who let my dog out?”

I tried to tell him she was out when I got there and I had no idea it was even his dog, but I was only 20 and just completely scared out of my mind so I was stuttering and stammering and he kept interrupting me demanding answers. By then a few more of his people had gathered around and someone got a hold of my boss. Then my phone rang and it was my boss telling me to just go home for the day and it would get handled.

I went home and called him later asking if I should still come in tomorrow. He said “Nope, you don’t work here anymore.” I tried explaining everything, but there was no getting through.

So Tommy Lee Jones got me fired from a job for something I was not responsible for.

I have a few of my own. Celebrity or not he is, hands down, one of the rudest people I’ve ever come across. Very demanding and hateful; he looks down on service workers and treats them like s**t but at the same time expects them to simultaneously 1. Know who he is, 2. Not acknowledge who he is, but 3. Give him special treatment because of who he is.

Talked about a good place to get a coffee in the morning and he shook my hand telling me it wad a pleasure. I have to believe there are thousands of stories about that man in that regard.

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 35 Celebrities Haven't met too many celebs, but I gotta say that Bill Nye the Science Guy was the rudest. I grew up in Seattle and I ran into him with my dad when I was really young and he was setting up for a shoot for that show down on Alki Beach. I was a huge nerd, and he was one of my heroes because of that show. My pops told me to go say hello, so I did, and Bill responded something along the lines of "Get out of here, kid! We're busy! Where are your parents at?" and I pointed at my pa across the beach and was like "Right over there!" Bill told me to leave him alone, I was devastated (mind you I was like 6 or 7).

On the other hand, I met Woody Harrelson and Willy Nelson on separate occasions when I was a bit older (22 or 23) and living on my own in Maui. They were both super nice! They were both stoned, as was I, when I met them. When I met Woody I was working at Mana Foods stocking shelves, and Woody walked down the aisle I was stocking. His eyes were squints that were red as hell, and when I saw him coming I just said "Hey, Woody! How's it going?" and he responded "Hey, what's up, man? It's good! How are you?" We had a little conversation before he got back to what he was doing and I got back to work. It felt like a genuine chill meeting with someone I respect.

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 35 Celebrities Not so much rude but here’s two times my family’s had run ins with celebrities.

My family sold a boat to Jack Hannah several years ago, he came with his wife to our home to check it out and bought it with cash (it was a John boat so like $300, nothing crazy) they hung out with us and shot the s**t like any regular person would. I had a pet tarantula at the time and he saw it and was like “awesome set up for a rose hair” I get it, he’s literally a zoologist but it blew my adolescent mind he knew what species it was off hand. Him and his wife were super down to earth and nice people.

My dad installed a car phone in the tour bus of David Copperfield many, MANY moons ago. His staff timed it where my dad would be in the bus while David was in rehearsals for his show, but the rehearsals didn’t last as long as they anticipated and he came back to the bus while my dad was finishing the install. He waited outside and when my dad came out of the bus there he was; now mind you this is middle of afternoon, dead a*s July summertime heat in a deep southern state. Copperfield is wearing a full length fur coat. My dad in all his awkward glory asks “ain’t you hot in that?” My dad says he looked at him dead in the eyes all serious like and goes “You never know what’s up my sleeves” and gives a small smile. 4 months later we received a manilla envelope with 5 hand signed and personalized headshots of him. My dad was blown away because after the sleeve comment he chatted with my dad for a little bit then whisked off back to rehearsals. My dad says he only mentioned the family in passing during the conversation and didn’t remember giving Copperfield or his staff our names and especially our home address, yet each headshot had our names correctly spelled and each had a different little personal message. Absolutely BONKERS and this was in the late 90’s before social media and the internet became what it is today.

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 35 Celebrities Jared Leto is a piece of s**t.

Aside from being an outright weirdo and an awkward human being he is a predator and groomer.

He harassed, stalked, and attempted to sexually prey on a friend of mine. When she refused his advances he turned the dial from 100 to 1000 and mind you this was after 1 meeting and no sexual contact or lead on from her. When she tried to inject a male friend in the situation he was vehemently opposed to this. 100’s of phone calls and texts.

Avoid at all costs.

EDIT: I didn't get on Reddit for a day and am overwhelmed by the comments so I'll up some questions here.

This happened 10+ years ago in a Midwest city. She was approached the day of (or before, I'm not sure) his band was playing, was a bit starstruck by him, and was invited to his show.

The situation rattled her, but she made it out of this situation relatively unscathed for how things could have gone. Being who she is, she was able and equipped to handle stuff like this. However, it has always bothered me that any woman younger, more impressionable, or in a different state of mind could have quickly been taken advantage of and assaulted in much worse ways.
As a man, this gave me a lot of perspective and made me a lot more diligent about being aware of my surroundings when I am in public and with my woman friends. Be careful out there. Not everyone has bad intentions, but make sure you are safe.

My grandpa met Jim Carrey when he was filming for a few days in an alley right behind his job site. All the kids in my family were huge fans of Jim's and my grandpa knew it. Basically, Jim just ignored everyone and seemed really mad the entire time he was there and refused to interact with people. We didn't find out until we watched the movie at home and my grandpa told us the story years later.

For me? The Kardashians. I didn't know who they were at the time. My coworkers told me who they were after they had left.

The mom came into my job at the time and was on her cell the entire time and would wave off people asking her if she needed help. Meanwhile, the younger two-- Kylie and Kendall-- destroyed the store. They kept grabbing things and asking their mom to buy it for them and then tossing it on the floor. Even big items, they hauled from the back of the store to the front and left it there. She didn't even try to parent her kids.

And at checkout, she didn't load the items onto the conveyor belt at all so I scanned her stuff and left it in her cart. She said she wanted bags so I begrudgingly bagged the items and left them in the bagging area for her to put into her cart. She then took out her card to pay and tapped it and tried to hand it to me. I pointed to the machine and told her she had to use it. Then she slid her card and stood there as if there was nothing else to do. I think she asked me, "Why is this taking so long?" Because you have to enter your PIN and say okay to the amount, girl.

I think she filmed an episode of her show a few years later where she's shopping at a grocery store with her daughter. And they're having the best time because it's so "new" and "fun". They're so fake.

Two gems and a horror:

Judi Dench who was lovely, quite a twinkle in her eye and just totally charming and just as you'd imagine and hope her to be.

Going back a long time, but in the early 1990s I had a friend in London, HIV+, who was in hospital and very very unwell - not really thought he'd be alive for more than a month or two. Hospital staff were lovely and visiting was pretty much as and when, just as long as you were quiet if it was late. I'd gone to visit him after a very long work day, and was gowned up and chatting quietly to him. It was probably around midnight and one of the nurses asked if he was up to another visitor which he was. Princess Diana turned out to be the other visitor and she was lovely beyond belief. Absolutely beautiful, very compassionate and all on her own - one security guard who was with the nurse. She stayed for around an hour and was obviously a regular. The nurses said she often came in late at night, just slipping in with no fuss or fanfare and staying several hours at a time. I met her several times before my friend finally died and she was always unfailingly kind and gentle. I summoned up the courage to ask why she did this so much - in those days gay men, particularly HIV+ ones, were often sidelined and looked down on. She was quite matter of fact in that she felt she could offer something to people who didn't have much else and it made her feel grounded in what was a very turbulent life to do it. After David had died and I went to collect his belongings there was a card with a letter in it from her for me. I don't think I'll ever forget it and I used to get angry with people who took against her. She wasn't perfect I'm sure, but to me she was a lovely and wonderful lady.

To keep up with the general theme though, and to echo others, Cilla Black was a complete b***h of the first order and I don't really know anyone who ever had a good word to say about her - she lived not that far from my parents when I was a teenager and was notorious in the village for her appalling attitudes.

I work in Corrections. Nicki Minajs brother was on trial for child molestation and rape (found guilty doing life). Nicki, real name Onika Miraj, was the most entitled visitor I’ve ever had to deal with. She expecting unlimited time with her brother as well as a private section to not be with the public.

She was extremely condescending and expected her personal bodyguards to enter the room with her. She had become so insufferable that we had to find officers who knew her from back in the day to come have a little talk with her to straighten out her attitude. Or else we were going to bar her from Visiting.

Just to clarify how officers would know her. Nikki is from Hempstead Long Island which is one town over from the Jail. So a fair amount of officers who lived in Hempstead their whole lives know her from childhood.

This is Jail. We don’t give a c**p who you are on the outside. i in here you’re a visitor like everyone else. You have to pass a metal detector. You have to give us your ID. And if you don’t have a reason to be here, then you cannot stay. You don’t get extra time no inmate gets privileged because of who you are.
In fact, on a sidenote, the other inmates broke her brother’s arm and ruptured his spleen because they know what he did.

So overall, my experience with her was not positive. And if I never run into her again, that would be just fine.

Many years ago, I had a chance meeting with actor Sean Penn in Paris. It was late night, and he was all by himself at the hotel bar in the lobby. I happened to be in the bar as well. I recognized him just approached and said hello and told him that I admired his work, he asked me take the seat, and then we spoke about things for about 5-10 mins (may be more but I don’t remember as I was in absolute awe of a major Hollywood star). He was polite and seemed interested in my views as he listened to them, I felt like I could have stayed for some more time, however, I thought it’s best not to overstay my welcome, so, I got up and I thanked him for his time, and left.

Over the years, I have read accounts and anecdotes of people on the internet which makes me think Sean is a recluse and a grumpy guy, so, I thought I should share a rather pleasant experience with him, who knows may be I caught him on a good day lol.

I worked in a law firm in SF and my boss did entertainment law and was representing William Roberts, who wrote Jimi Hendrix's 'Hey Joe'. He called to talk to my boss who was on the phone and I asked if I could take a message and he starts peppering me with questions, 'he's on the phone? How long will he be? What do you mean you don't know? Do you know ANYTHING??????' I was shocked and told the office manager. She told me to tell my boss cause he nevers takes c**p from clients. He called Mr. Roberts back and yelled at him to never treat his staff like that again!!! About 2 hours later, Roberts shows up with a bouquet of flowers for me and a heartfelt apology!

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 35 Celebrities Got a call to David Spade's room at like 2 a.m. because he had issues with his WiFi. When I told him I couldn't fix it and he had to wait for I.T. in the morning he said in the most deadpan David Spade way "I figured you wouldn't be able to fix it, I didn't figure they put their best and brightest on the graveyard shift." Lmao.

Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect These 35 Celebrities Rihanna.

I worked at her show as a stage builder. We got instructions from the tour manager that we were not allowed to look at her, speak to her AND we had to give way to her if she was walking in our path. A former colleague of mine that was pushing a huge crate down a corridor, blocked her path and she acted like a complete child.

I just don't get why some people think they are better than other people. This is going to sound a bit bonkers to lots of people here but I think the sauna/bathing culture in Scandinavia and Japan helps. In Japan, where social hierarchy is very rigid, for example, the bathing culture reminds people that we are all the same when all the social trappings and clothes are stripped away. I'm a big fan of anything that works as a social leveller!

I agree. Many of these stories seem to stem from the celebrities wanting some time to themselves, and then they come off as cold for not wanting to interact with people. They just want some food or drinks at a bar or restaurant.

My rule is that if they're not being paid, leave them alone (eg in a restaurant). If you are there because they are being paid (eg at a stage door, or behind the barrier at a premiere) they should be nice to their fans.

Apatheist Account2, I fully agree. It must be awful to have people expect you to be 'on' all the time, and for them to believe they somehow have the right to intrude on your personal space, and time. Give people some space, respect their privacy. David Tennant told a story about a guy who asked for an autograph. David is normally very happy to sign autographs, but this guy asked whilst David was taking a shower at the gym. Not appropriate!

Yeah, but leave them alone if you encounter them in a bathroom, whether they're paid for the event or not. One woman wouldn't leave Bonnie Raitte alone, when she was in the stall, but before she could even wash her hands, the woman was trying to hand her a pen. Some fans make celebrities into AHs

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Celebrites are just people like you or I - they just happen to be famous. They deserve to have dinner out with friends or family, go to a sporting event, or walk down the street looking frumpy if they're having an off day and not get bugged by anyone.

Oh, yes, this. All the this in the world. I've done a lot of stage dooring and autograph-collecting at shows over the years. It's not hard - it's a matter of treating them like a human. Being polite. Not assuming you can be overly familiar (I remember more than one being impressed I addressed them as Mr X rather than by their first name), please and thank-you, asking before snapping away with a camera.... Basic civility. Yes, some famous people can be asses all the time, others have a off day. It must be hard having the sort of off day any of us can have, then suddenly that's all over the internet forever as you being A Bad Person. It's also quite scary how some fan types just have no filter or concept of separation between the performance that in their head is "theirs" and the actual, human actor. That must be hard to deal with - especially if you've just done a three hour show and you're shattered. Spare a thought too for those who are wary due to having been stalked in the past.

Jackson Browne is supposed to be amazingly kind - stopped a concert once when he saw someone who was underdressed (shorts) at show and the guy was shivering so much it was noticed by Browne. So after a song ended, he spoke to a roadie and minutes later, the roadie hands the fan a pair of sweatpants. That is something that belongs on this list

I’ve heard some bad stuff about Jackson Browne. First, his wife killed herself while married to him. Then, later, when he was involved with Daryl Hannah, he physically abused her. Both of those things happened decades ago, though, so maybe he’s become a better person now, idk.

The only two famous people I have met were Mr. T and Roger Staubach. And both were very nice. I met Mr. T at a meet and greet during the height of his A-Team glory. He came out and was saying encouraging things to the kids, plus things like "Stay in school and get an education, listen to your parents", really wholesome stuff. He wanted to be a positive role model. And Roger Staubach, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback during their first two Superbowl victories, was very kind. I was 12 and didn't really know a thing about football, so we talked about aviation for ten minutes or so (he owned and flew a plane and my grandfather was a pilot). He was great at making a nerdy kid feel like someone. They made their positive mark.

Gabija Palšytė and Rokas Laurinavičius, my encounters with celebrities have been almost always VERY positive. In my childhood I met Red Skelton and Vincent Price who were having breakfast together at a pancake restaurant in Palm Springs where they both had homes. They saw that my two sisters and I were having breakfast unaccompanied and they asked us to share their table. We, of course, were thrilled. At that time both had weekly television shows. Those two men entertained us for a good hour and a half and they made us laugh and giggle non-stop. They waited until our parents came to pick us up and chatted with our parents for another few minutes before departing, We learned from the hostess that they had breakfast together there every Wednesday morning, and it was their regular habit to invite parents with children or unaccompanied children to share their table. They simply loved people and enjoyed their company. We just happened to be the recipient of their kindness that Wednesday.:-)

Backstage pass at a Crosby, Stills and Nash concert. Stephen was nowhere to be seen, but Graham and David were absolute sweethearts. Shorter than I expected but still. Spent part of that night on the tour bus with Graham's daughter, her telling me about being on the road with her dad and asking if I could come along as nanny. Interesting night. I was a sailmakers at the time and knew everyone in the boat business, thus the backstage pass.

My parents were in a band back in the '70s and opened for country superstar, Lynn Anderson (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden), in Seattle. She was so ticked at how the audience reacted to the band (massive applause, more than one encore) that she told her people to get them off the stage ASAP as she had to take a flight right after the show. So, they did. After the concert, she made no moves to leave at all. It was all a lie. Best encounter was probably Al Waxman (massive Canadian actor, gone now). Just met him randomly on a day out at Ontario Place (RIP), took a chance asking for an autograph, and not only did he comply, but he stood talking to me and my friends for about 15-20 minutes. Just a sweetheart dude.

The best and worst stories I have about celebrities are both about NASCAR drivers. The worst: Tony Stewart. He came to my city for a highly publicized autograph session at a car dealership. We got there and joined the line outside and waited forever. We were told he would not be posing for any pictures, so if you wanted one, we had to just have someone else hold our camera or phone, and smile while he was signing your item(s). We were limited to 3 items each, which honestly, I get, there were a lot of people there. But when I got to the front of the line with my 3 items, one of his people asked me if I wanted a picture for him to sign, so I said sure. When I got to Tony, he said, in a very snarky tone, "You're only supposed to have 3 items." I said "*Your* people gave me the extra one!" We were being herded through like cattle and it was basically chaos, and that was my last item, so I basically got pushed along before either of us could say anything else. But I yelled out as I left, "Kasey Kahne is way better than you!" Tony was rude and acted like he was bored and annoyed and didn't want to be there. But I didn't really want to be there either. I just came for my Dad, because Tony was his favorite driver. Felt kinda bad for Dad though. I guess that's why they say you should never meet your heroes lol. Anyway, all the rumors you've heard about him are true. Tony Stewart is an ÀSSHOLE. /1

Best: Dale Jarrett. Back in the early 90s, my Dad's best friend, who owned his own machine shop and was quite wealthy, was also a huge race fan. Some of the top drivers came to our small, local speedway for some kind of exhibition event. Dad's friend sponsored DJ. We got to sit in a tent and eat lunch with him, and my dad sat next to DJ and just chatted with him, like two old friends, for I don't know how long. DJ was just so super nice, and down-to-earth. I was only 10 or 12, and too shy to come out from behind my Gameboy, lol, but it really made an impression on me. And I later med DJ's father, the legendary Ned Jarratt, who was just as nice as his son. DJ is my all-time favorite driver. Davy Allison and Ted Musgrave were also at that event, and they were really nice too. I got their autographs, as well as DJ's and a bunch of others. Sadly, I think I lost them in my storage locker. I still have Ned's autograph though, which I got when I met him. Kasey Kahne is really nice too. I met him at an autograph session at an opening ceremony for a store that sponsored him. He even talked to my baby (at the time) son, and said thank you when I, walking away, wished him good luck for the season. Just a really sweet guy. /2

My son knows most of the NASCAR drivers personally. Nicest by far - David Starr. Biggest a**hole - Chase Elliott followed by Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Elliott Sadler, Kyle Larson & William Byron. Jamie McMurray & AJ Allmendinger are germophobes & very picky about what they'll autograph. J Mac even refused to sign a photo. My personal experience is Clint Bowyer is a great guy. He's my other sons favorite driver. He was at a dirt track back around '04 and when we told him my son which couldn't be there was a fan, he took the face shield off his helmet and autographed it.

We loved the cool guy in the office next door who let us play his xylophone. Pops worked at Berklee College of Music, his neighbor was Gary Burton.

I've met on the street or in a pub or served when I was working, quite a few celebrities, musicians etc over the years. Hands down my favourite is Tori Amos! I met her after one of her concerts, I'd been stood out in the rain for the meet and greet, she signed my CD and ticket then stood up because I'd forgotten how to spell my own name!!! She stood up to give me a hug and we did that 'going the same way' thing! She said "Hey, we're dancing!" I said "Thank you loads and I'm sorry if I smell mouldy!" She laughed as did I and I said Thank You again and then went to go home with a 💜🐝💜 in my heart! I've been into her music since I was 13 and you tell your musical hero "I'm sorry if I smell mouldy"??? 😭... 😄

All the celebs I've met were very gracious. Elvis Costello and also the Clash, backstage, were nice. I will say that Ellen Foley who was Mick Jones' girlfriend at the time was a bit aggressive cause she didn't like girls around her man. Met James Coburn in Chinatown SF when he was shooting a commercial. When he was done he signed autographs for everyone watching. Same with Robert Urich. Skipped class to watch them filming 'Spenser for Hire' in Boston and when they broke for lunch, he graciously signed autographs. Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir were super nice as well. And of course the celebs I've met a various 'cons' have been super nice. Kathy Coleman who played 'Holly' on Land of the Lost gave me a huge hug in June when I was standing there staring at her and said, 'I can't believe I'm meeting my childhood hero'. She came from around her table and gave me a huge, long hug. Wes Eure was there as well.....also a sweetheart. Same with Mickey Dolenz & Tim Matheson.
