Sometimes even the rich and famous just want to give up. Although logically, Hollywood actors and actresses would feel irritated by fans who swarm them for autographs or want them to take selfies, you'd think they'd have more patience. Some celebrities seem to have been jerking even before they were famous. Fans have voted these stars as the rudest in the industry.
True stories from fans about rude and unpleasant celebrities might be shocking. It has been said that Christian Bale can bring children to tears, while teen idols like Justin Bieber and Robert Pattinson come across as a new breed of a jerk to the fans who helped propel them to fame. Could it be that the demands of celebrities are too much to bear? That is unless these famous people dislike their fans. All the same, reading about these horrible run-ins with obnoxious celebrities is guaranteed to make you gasp. Read on to find out which stars have the worst reputation among their admirers.

One of Justin Bieber's fans wanted to take a selfie with him, and he responded by saying she made him "sick" with her lack of respect. He allegedly spat on fans in the hallway outside his Toronto hotel room in 2013 and shouted at them for talking during a concert in 2016. Subsequently, though, a spokesman stated that Bieber had not spit on anyone and that no one had been underneath his balcony.

Christian Bale is known for being harsh on set but also rude off-set. In her tell-all book, Bale's former publicist said he's rude to fans. He'd "lecture tiny girls about being disrespectful and intrusive until tears flowed down their faces" Bale allegedly advised his publicist how to "remove" a fan who sent him a letter at his home. "A screwdriver in the eye prohibits screaming. Please update me."

Tobey Maguire was reportedly dubbed Hollywood's worst autograph signer because he's too "egotistical" to communicate with people. Strange tales ensue. Molly Bloom said Maguire offered her a $1,000 poker chip at a high-stakes game in 2014. Maguire advised her to bark like a seal, though. Maguire told Bloom when she declined, "Really. Problem? Too wealthy? Not even for $1,000?"

Rumor is that Christina Aguilera hasn't always been nice to her fans. Aguilera reprimanded a contestant for not paying attention to her critiques and urged a male vocalist to take off his pants on The Voice. Her attitude doesn't change whether fans are renowned. Valerie Bertinelli once told Aguilera, "You're a beautiful vocalist." She says Aguilera said, "Yeah, anything."
6. Jared Leto
