Have you ever fantasized about working as a personal assistant to a famous person? I don't either, but bear with me here. Imagine how awesome it would be to spend time with someone you admired, someone who was wealthy, famous and who you could tag along to any event you wanted. Sure, you'd be a
servant attending the
festivities, but that's not the point. There are several Horrible Ways
Celebrities treated their assistants.
Although you may find this amusing, the truth of the situation is very different. Being an assistant might make one feel devalued. There's no way it's that horrible, though. It could be fine if the famous person you work for isn't a psycho, but that's not always the case. Some famous people treat their personnel brutally and are abusive to them. Any maltreatment, including words, feelings, and even physical contact, is unacceptable. T

Former assistant and current plaintiff Jennifer O'Neill sued Gaga in 2013 for unpaid overtime. As only Lady Gaga can do, she sarcastically remarked, "Jennifer is a f***ing hood rat who is suing me for money that she didn't earn." O'Neill said that she was available around the clock, seven days a week and that she occasionally slept in the same bed as her patient. What do you think? Is that attractive or revolting? I don't know anymore, not even for sure.
2. Jennifer Lopez

Interested in a job with J-Lo? Nope, not if you meet her requirements for a new hire." Possessing grace under fire, resilience, and resourcefulness in unfamiliar environments are all prerequisites. You will be on call continuously. If the butler isn't around, you'll need to cook, clean, and change diapers. You must be aware of when J.Lo enjoys her midday munchies. She won't ask for food, but she'll expect you to provide it." J.Lo's midday snack time? Um, no thanks. Let's see what happens if I try my luck as a preschool aide.
3. Katherine Heigl

Katherine reportedly acted like a complete diva while filming 27 Dresses. "Reports state that Heigl would not continue filming until her pregnant aide brought her a Coke Zero. When the cameras stopped rolling, she refused to sit next to anyone at lunch or engage in conversation. " Okay, Katherine, you're not exactly setting the world on fire by going into an uproar over a Coke Zero, even if you are a middle school star on set. So, hear me out. A little more composure would be nice.
4. Christian Bale

His assistant said, "If Christian was away filming on location, I would take care of his five pets, including the stray possums in the backyard, as requested." Anything for Christian, from checking his armpits for body odor before he walked the red carpet to rushing to the store for more clean socks when he ran out. If something needed to be done on land, the job might be as thrilling as going to a film festival or as boring as sitting around watching Christian surf. Amazingly, Christian has an awesome name.
5. Paris Hilton

As most of us know, Paris once employed Kim Kardashian to clean her closet; with that in mind, it is easy to visualize how she might treat someone she knowingly pays to be treated poorly. She dislikes carrying heavy loads." Paris walked from the car to the studio, looking put together in a gorgeous chiffon tea dress and matching cream handbag and shoes, while her friend climbed out of the same car carrying luggage and Halloween costumes. "Poor old Paris; she's so spoilt that it almost makes her attractive.
6. Beyonce

Beyoncé is undeniably a diva, but we'll cut her slack for being self-centered. When her aide tried to adjust her dress on the red carpet,
Beyoncé simply instructed her to stop, and the worker quickly left. Certainly not as cruel as some of these celebs, but there is a master/servant dynamic here. But again, she's a diva and not that cruel, so we'll let her off the hook.
7. Cheryl Hines

The star of
Curb Your Enthusiasm has her helper take care of the toilet. And she went on to say, "My helper was asked to wipe out all of the cages. As an aside, a hedgehog can be difficult to work with. They're gross and full of sharp spines. Maybe I would if I didn't have to work, but I doubt it. A job at 7-Eleven and having someone else pick up the hedgehog droppings would suit me just fine. You can do it here, as it is a place where it is legal. I never felt remorse once, yet many apologies were attached." It seems that Cheryl never actually gets her hands dirty.
