 Redditors Are Sharing Why They No Longer Respect These 30 A-List Celebrities

Being a famous person is a lot glamorous and respected but it isn’t always easy. Working in the Entertainment industry, celebrities not only need to prove their talents and competencies but also have good manners. Because their career is affected by the audiences, they should be kind and friendly in public places. But some celebrities sometimes forget how to be a nice person.
Recently, people have raised the question “Who is the rudest celebrity you’ve ever met?” on Ask Reddit. The stories behind truly made people raise their eyebrows. Get ready to embed in these stories and don’t forget to take them with a pinch of salt. Scrolling down and enjoy!

#1 Ellen Degeneres

"Ellen Degeneres is a bona fide b*tch. Incredibly rude, my Uncle worked with her(he's an architect) on some project and she treated her help like total cr*p. I couldn't believe it at the time, but I've heard similar accounts of her bad behavior over the years."

The professor explained that this tension between celebrities’ imagined ordinariness and extraordinariness seems to drive much of this fascination. “Because of their intense visibility, celebrities become almost like mirrors for their audiences who look for their own images in them; sometimes audiences see idealized versions of themselves in celebrities or versions to which they aspire.”
King continued: “Other times, comparisons to celebrities can leave fans feeling inferior. That sense of imagining or defining ourselves in relation to public figures, whether we find it pleasurable or painful, is a big part of much celebrity fandom.”

#2 Randy Jackson

"Randy Jackson. He was invited to a telethon hosted by a hospital for children with severe disabilities, where my little sister lived until she passed away. Whenever the cameras were off, he would hide in his hotel room and seemed disgusted with the kids. Didn’t want anything to do with them. When the cameras were on though, he was all smiles and hugs. It was so disheartening and disappointed. Almost 10 years ago and I still remember it so clearly."- tatertotski
What’s also interesting about celebrity culture is that famous people also have a great deal of presence in people’s everyday lives—in film and television, on magazine covers and advertisements, and across social media. “And yet,” King states, “most people never actually come into contact with celebrities and experience them at a distance or only virtually.”In this way, they are visible to us but almost always out of reach. “This tension between presence and absence also seems to drive people’s desire for celebrities,” she explained.

#3 Oprah

Oprah didn’t tip me on a $200 lunch — instead, she signed a napkin for me and acted like she was doing me a huge favor. The kicker was when she walked in, they gave away all of my other tables so she didn’t have to wait for anything. So I made $4/hour for two hours for the privilege of serving Oprah, and she went on and on about signing a napkin that I never asked for.- MommaBearJam

#4 Keith Urban

My dad is a pilot and he frequently deals with celebrities. His company has all the staff sign NDAs, but my dad usually doesn't even know who the celebrities are unless they've been in the news. He said that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are incredibly rude to their own staff. Personal assistants were terrified of them. - trolldoll26

#5 Katie Price

Okay, so a quick disclaimer first - this wasn't me, but my friend Dolly who was a flight attendant for a well-known British airline until she died. She'd been with them since year dot, and as a result of her seniority would work in the First Class cabin. In her own words, she preferred it at the front of the plane, the nylon carpets at the back played havoc with her bunions..
ANYWAY,
One day she had a British "celebrity" called Katie Price onboard. Ms. Price is famous for... umm.. having boobs and falling out of various bars, I think.
So, Ms. Price comes on board, spots Dolly, and proceeds to spend five minutes listing her demands for the flight - namely that she should have total privacy, that anyone coming near her should be escorted away, and that no crew approaches her unless she calls them, and that Dolly herself would be held responsible if she was bothered at all, heads would roll, etc..
Dolly waited for her to finish her demands and then said "Certainly madam. And you are.......?"
tl;dr No name "celebrity" makes OTT demands on the plane, gets cut down to size by an elderly Northern lady. -  [deleted]

#6 Tyra Banks

This takes place when UPN and WB were merging into “The CW”.
She comes into town for an ANTM cattle call. Demands we repaint the office she was going to use (for three days) makes our pregnant programming director cry, flips her shot and tries to get me fired when I wouldn’t get her bottled water.
My response was “have one of your people get it, I have to get back to the board, commercial break is up in 40 seconds.”
On the opposite side, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are two of the nicest celebrities I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
We had just gotten “that 70’s show” in syndication and they came out for promo shoots. Super friendly. - Phantom_61

#7 Jim Belushi

Years ago, we kids waited for Jim Belushi and John Candy after they shot Only the Lonely in Chicago. I asked Belushi for an autograph, and he literally called us a bunch of pieces of sh*t, stupid kids, and to get the F out of there. Then came Candy with a big old smile and cigar hanging out of his mouth, and he spent the next 10 minutes signing autographs and thanking all his fans. - urboy23

#8 Hugh Jackman

I was an extra on X Men: Days of Future Past. They were all nice. Jennifer Lawrence was the one that was the more meh with other people. I don't blame her too much... Peak hunger game popularity at the time I get it. She was probably afraid people would try to always give her too much attention...
However, the other actors didn't care about that. The NICEST ones by FAR were Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy for what I saw.
For McAvoy, one of my friends was one of the extras right behind him in a scene and we were shooting 14 hours a day in cooking 40 degrees enclosed green screen bordered set in bright sunlight. We were running in high heels and wearing winter jackets... Basically a hellish day. And we couldn't sit anywhere! Well, McAvoy saw my friend wasn't doing right and he let her sit in Professor X's chair and have a bit of his water bottle. And with that said, the dude would just talk and chit-chat with everybody, despite the very strict non-conversation with actors contract we signed. He's just so chill.
Hugh Jackman literally signed autographs in between shots and high-fived a bunch of people all the time.
Michael Fassbender told all set workers passing by him after a very long day of work battling in water to have a nice day. I was a huge fan of his at the time and it made my whole year at that point.
F*ckin Peter Dinklage was dancing disco during the heatwave day to cheer people up.

#9 LeBron James

My daughter was at a store in Orlando and ran into LeBron James when he was with the Heat. 13 yo girl asked for a pic and he got pissy, told her she wasn't worthy of a picture with him, did she even know who he was, he didn't have time for this. Walked away leaving her crying so bought her an ice cream. - xceptn2therule

#10 William Shatner

William Shatner said he would give me an autograph in Hawaii when I was about 10. He said ‘lemme get a pen’, got in his limo, and drove off. - cptgonzo

#11 Lenny Kravitz

I haven’t met many but Lenny Kravitz stayed at the hotel I worked at. He had the hotel sign an agreement that the staff was not to look at him or talk to him.
Snoop dog was cool. He left a bunch of booze and weed behind in his suite. The housekeepers got a bunch of top-shelf hootch and weed after he left.

#12 Nicki Minaj

I’ve worked with Nicki Minaj before and while on a set with her, I was told not to look at her face. She also had people move out of the room before she would come into the room. It was a whole ordeal. - alannan4bf3ecfa1

#13 Sean Penn

Sean Penn. F*cking douche at the movie theater I worked at.
On the other side of that are Robin Williams and Lars Ulrich. Two of the nicest, most genuine dudes I ever slang popcorn to. - PsykoFlounder

#14 Julia Roberts

Around 1998, Julia Roberts and Benjamin Bratt stole a cab from me and my girl on a really cold winter day in the West Village, NYC. They were laughing as they drove by, and we both gave them a perfectly synchronized middle finger, which was fun. - [deleted]


#15

Eric Roberts was a guest at a small, local comic convention. Thought it would be cool to get a signed pic of him as the Master.
He pretended people weren't there until they paid his manager fifty bucks.
My wife's parting shot as we walked away? "Loved your work on Celebrity Rehab."

#16 Madonna

Madonna! She comes to my job a few times a year. And every time she comes she comes with 5-7 other people wearing a big hat, and sunglasses and tries to blend with her friends or whoever they are. The people she travels with are so needy and always have some sort of special request to ask for. No thanks, no nothing when they leave no tip and also leave a big mess. Can't stand them. No hi and no bye. I'm like bye b*tch.Besides that a lot of the other celebrities are nice!

#17 Eminem

Eminem. I was in Denver once and I was waiting for an autograph with my little brother. It was really cold and we waited for like 3 or 4 hours. He just said no. - Nach0Man_RandySavage,

#18 John Mayer

EASILY John Mayer and it's not even close.If you've ever thought John Mayer was cool, know this;
John Mayer is a whiney man-child that just wants to smoke weed and watch South Park and play Call of Duty all day. Met him at an awards show thing about 10 years ago. WOULD NOT STOP quoting some sexist joke from South Park. Everybody around was just laughing awkwardly because it was weird. Also, every word out of his mouth was a sarcastic joke, but like a MEAN sarcastic joke about somebody that I was supposed to find funny. But they weren't funny. They were just weird. And mean. Got mad at me and called me a butthead when I didn't laugh.

#19 Hugh Grant

I met a lot of celebrities while working for an airline, one of them being Hugh Grant. One time, he sat in First Class 1A on a 747 (which is right in the nose of the plane), so there was nothing but a wall in front of the seat. It's standard procedure for the cabin manager to go around to every first-class passenger and personally introduce themselves. When my manager got to Hugh, the conversation went something like this: Manager: 'Hello, Mr. Grant, my name is...' Hugh: 'Oh, F*CK OFF.' My manager proceeded to swiftly move on. - lightningpaw_

#20 Alec Baldwin

One day in the Hamptons, I ran into Alec Baldwin and his wife and their two dogs. I was 6, so I wanted to pet their dogs. Mind you, they left their dogs outside of the store, so I didn’t know they were theirs. They quickly yanked their dogs away from me and yelled at me. I was f*cking 6.

#21 Gwyneth Paltrow

I worked with Gwyneth Paltrow's children for eight weeks at a camp, and we got paid $5 an hour. Parents usually tip $100 or more at the end, but she didn't tip at all. - mattymo56

#22 Mark Ronson

Once I met Mark Ronson at a music festival in the UK — my ex-boyfriend was a huge fan, so he asked for a picture. He was really cool and happy to be chatting with us, but there was someone standing next to him who repeatedly rolled her eyes at the two of us: Lily Allen. She continuously whined, 'Mark, Mark, Mark' while my ex was chatting with him — at one point she actually stomped her foot and gave us the finger when Mark's back was turned around. We had acknowledged her, but she just rolled her eyes at us.

#23 Ed Westwick

I met Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl at Coachella. I never watched the show, but I recognized him — he grabbed my slice of pizza, took a bite out of it, and then spit it out and gave it back to me. tdee94

#24 Bill Clinton

My wife worked at a hotel for many years and met literally every major celebrity you can think of. She said Snoop was the coolest person she ever met and Bill Clinton was the biggest douche even though I find it hilarious. My wife was walking outside back into the hotel, saw Bill, and stared until she smashed herself in the face with a tree branch. Bill started laughing so hard he was having a hard time standing. The secret service ran over to help her and Bill, laughing so hard he could barely talk, told them to leave her because they had to keep walking.Amazingly hilarious.

#25 Tim Duncan

Tim Duncan - Former Basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs.
I met him at a Walgreens Pharmacy in San Antonio. I was trying to get batteries but he was getting batteries too. He was in my way.
So I said “excuse me, could I just get through really quick-”
He stopped me mid-sentence and said “Nah, I don’t take pictures. Just let me do what I gotta do.”
“My bad. I’m just trying to “.
“Hey, look. I don’t want to take pictures right now so just stop.”
He left.
I got my batteries.

#26 Bam Margera

Bam Margera showed up in Seattle once to film an episode. Talked a lot of sh*t to the wrong local skater. I watched Bam get knocked out by said local. One of the funniest things I have ever seen. -Optic1

#27 Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart. I was waiting with friends outside of a pool hall for an uber when Kristen and her girlfriend come walking out of the building laughing all loud. We naturally glance over and move out of their way. Then she comes up to us and says "WHAT.", with her arms out like she's ready to brawl. Then they walk away laughing again.
We didn't even realize who she was till they were walking away. She should really be careful who she talks to like that, someone might actually go for the punch.

#28 Gene Simmons

My brother met Gene Simmons backstage at a show he was playing in. Gene complimented my brother highly on his guitar playing, but then said, 'Too bad you'll never make it, and just walked away. -[deleted]

#29 Aziz Ansari

Aziz Ansari. Absolutely full of himself, with zero self-awareness. Literally forces himself into conversations with no understanding that he isn't wanted there. - satanshonda

#30 Busta Rhymes

Source: quotepark

Busta Rhymes came into the jersey shop I managed in Atlanta and got pissed off that I didn’t have a hat in his size. He called me a dumb f*ck - which hurt because I was a huge fan of his going way back to Leaders of the New School.
Same-store - Tyler Perry said he would “buy me and sell me” after I told him that the OnField 5950 Yankee hat was dark navy blue and not black - even though he demanded a “black Yankees hat like they wear on the field”.
Snoop Dogg, Michael Vick, Terrell Owens (esp Terrell Owens, and Birdman were cool as f*ck.
