"I've been seeing some stuff on Instagram trying to paint her as 'iconic' or 'just that girl.' And it's like, yeah...just that girl who homewrecked the marriage of a woman with a newborn baby. Her fans will eat it up, but no one else is falling for it."

"I have no idea how his history didn't hurt his reputation. Dude committed hate crimes. Not one but multiple. People have gotten canceled for saying stuff. This dude actually beat people because of their ethnicity."

"Basically, Julia Roberts was the other woman. The wife's name was Vera. Julia Roberts cheating with her husband led to a divorce. During the divorce, Roberts wore a sloppily Sharpie'd-on T-shirt that read 'A Low Vera,' a pun on Aloe Vera, I guess? It was a very lame pun, a very ugly shirt, and a very, very ugly thing to do. The audacity one has to have to make fun of the wife whose life you homewrecked...is...insane, tbh."
We hope this goes without saying, pandas, but we know that not all celebrities are terrible people. Some are famous for being extremely kind to fans, baristas, and any random person they encounter on the street. People consistently say wonderful things about Keanu Reeves, Melanie Lynskey, Pedro Pascal, Dolly Parton, and others. But there is something about being rich and famous that often changes a person, and sometimes, these stars’ egos get way out of hand.
Part of it comes down to the fact that the wealthier a person becomes, the less they interact with regular people. Once they reach a certain income bracket, they don’t have to go to the grocery store themselves, order their own coffee, prepare their own meals, or do their own laundry. They may not drive their own car, pump their own gasoline, or have to call a plumber themselves. All of these things can start to give a person a superiority complex and cause them to forget what a "normal" life is really like.

"His emails from when he didn’t get the knighthood show exactly who he really is."

Now, most of the lifestyle changes that we’ve previously mentioned are tied to money. So a person can be extremely wealthy without being famous at all and almost entirely stop interacting with regular people. But the fame aspect of being a celebrity is a huge factor in why many people’s personalities change as well. On one hand, they are adored by many fans. They might receive thousands of supportive comments on every Instagram post, and they’ll almost certainly be given special treatment everywhere they go.
Being recognizable isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, though. It can be frustrating to have fans approach you asking for a photo or an autograph everywhere you go. It may feel impossible to relax when you never know who’s watching you or taking your photo. Unfortunately, this can make some people become extremely cold towards strangers. They might develop a habit of being rude and unfriendly, even to those who don’t deserve it at all.

"I went to a taping of his show once, and he definitely seems different than how he portrays himself. He didn't address or interact with the audience at all. I might not have thought anything of it, except we also stayed for the taping of Seth Meyers's show, and the contrast was huge. Seth spent a lot of time interacting with the audience between takes and interviews. You could really feel his genuine warmth. Jimmy Fallon was just cold, turned on the charm during the filming, and that was it. I went there as a Jimmy Fallon fan and left as a Seth Meyers fan."

"My wife went to a Jimmy Fallon taping, and she said the exact same thing. Didn't acknowledge the audience at all, just 'turns on' for the guests, that's it. Zero fun or interaction with people."

Have heard multiple (horrific) stories from people in the industry and I truly can’t fathom how it hasn’t come out yet what an absolute scum bag.

"I love a lot of Taylor Swift's music, but it's funny seeing her try to keep up the 'girl next door' image while also being a billionaire who takes a private jet to go to the toilet."

"Can confirm he is not friendly. I did a segment with him, and I was shocked. As soon as those cameras go down, the smile comes right off. Anyone on set is just a nobody to him, and he was not friendly or personable at all. It really disappointed me!"

"My grandma attended a craft fair as talent alongside her in the early '90s, and let me tell you, according to grandma, the entitlement was there before the celebrity. My grandmother carried an intense hatred for that woman for the remainder of her life."
