Folks Online Reveal Why They No Longer Respect Or Like These 45 Celebrities

Bill Nye. Absolutely a total jerk. Extremely condescending and rude even when being paid to interact with people. At UCSB he gave commencement address at my sister’s graduation. Afterwards he was to meet the new graduates for a short Q&A. Terrible experience for my sister and dad that tried to get a picture and ask a question.

Bobby Flay. Rude if people even recognize him. He was in line at Ben & Jerry’s and 2 older ladies were looking at him smiling and he said , “what are you looking at” in the rudest tone. They were crushed.

Beth Chapman, wife of Dawg “The Bounty Hunter.” I was in a call center, she needed her dishwasher repaired. I wasn’t even supposed to get the call- I’m not in customer service. Apparently customer service didn’t know w*f to do with her either, so they cold-transferred her to me. She wanted a repair guy out NOW. Mind you, this is in Hawaii and there were like 10 technicians total for all appliances, on the entire island she lived on, and they were all booked two weeks out. She was not taking no for an answer, and screamed at the top of her lungs, swearing and cursing at me. (Side note- you can tell a native from a non-native Hawaiian by how chill they are. A native Hawaiian is like, “Ok, cousin, whenever you can fit me in is fine.”)

I ended up scheduling a guy to go out on overtime, with his and his manager’s permission, two days later. Calling her up to tell her the guy was on his way was a second treat, where I got my ear blasted for being rude, inconsiderate, not helpful, and called every name in the book. Technician I sent out got another earful. I made sure he got to go home early that Friday as an apology.

I heard from a lot of celebrities and their assistants back in those days. You know who was awesome? Charo. I had to schedule a half a day every time she had her stuff serviced, because my techs wouldn’t leave. Apparently she put out a full spread every time they visited.

My husband used to work in a job where he dealt with a lot of celebs. He couldn’t stand Jerry Seinfeld, Rachel Ray (her husband too) and Demi Lovato. His coworker also had a terrible experience with Rita Wilson.

Nicest ones he encountered: Jon Stewart, Ken Jeong, Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore.

Cher

Many years ago I spent a summer working as a night concierge at a fancy hotel in London. Over that summer I interacted with several famous people - a few that come to mind are Tony Bennett, the members of Metallica, Alan Alda, Sarah Ferguson (she was still the Duchess of York at the time).

Cher was by far the most unpleasant celebrity I dealt with. She was in London promoting the release of the movie "Mermaids". As a night concierge, one of my responsibilities was to take room service calls after 10pm. One night after I had been off duty for a couple days I answered the room service line and it was Cher. She identified her room number, but her voice was immediately recognizable. She proceeded to order chocolate truffle cake and berate me for the fact that the hotel restaurant didn't have the cake the previous night (when I was off duty). She cursed me out and threatened to immediately check out of the hotel if we didn't have the cake.

I was polite and got off the call as quickly as I could. I walked down the kitchen to hand deliver the order. Fortunately they had some cake left.

To this day I loathe her - no other guest treated me so rudely that summer.

Sean Penn. Came to eat at the spot I was CDC at while he filmed around the block.

He sat with 4 people, and would ONLY talk to his assistant who would then tell the waitress what he wanted etc, wouldn’t even look at her.

Kanye, and way before he went completely nuts so I can’t imagine how insufferable he would be now. I had many many interactions with him when I was working in a service industry role about 20 years ago.

Nick Jonas. Was working as a hostess in Hells Kitchen and pretty much saw celebrities daily. Nick entered the restaurant and sat outside w who I believe was his manager? He was extremely rude to the staff and was just waiting/looking at passerby’s to be noticed. Just had such an air of arrogance. Loser!

I have several friends who went to college with Carrie Underwood and none of them have a kind thing to say about her.

Will Smith went to an event and hit the presenter...

I used to work Postmates on weekends and during the summer when I lived in LA for school. I ended up delivering to a lot of celebrities, and they were always really sweet to me, probably because I was bringing them food. My usual tactic is to act like I don’t know who they are and just treat them with my usual politeness.

Sarah Silverman is a total sweetheart, and has a cute little dog too. Chace Crawford is really nice — I had a chat with him about where to get good pizza in our neck of the woods, because he was new to town back then. Kristen Bell is also a total sweetheart, and all of them were good tippers.

And I would deliver anything anytime to the Reznor family. I met Mrs. Trent Reznor one evening delivering food, and asked her: “It’s a distinctive last name, any relation to Trent?” She started laughing, and said “Yes, he’s my husband! When he gets home I’m going to tell him our delivery lady was a fan, he’ll get a kick out of that.”

But Conrad Hilton is a smarmy jerk and a total cheapskate. He’s one of the worst tippers I’ve ever seen.

Michael Jordan. Ate at a steakhouse I worked at racked up a 6000 dollar bill and left me and my coworker zero. Zero. Needless to say I took that personally.

I met essentially everyone in music between 1991 and 2001, inc a weekend with KISS, and whilst almost everyone was a jerk... Gene Simmons ost perhaps the worst person on planet Earth.

I had just started working at a pharmacy and am actor from CSI Miami came in to pick up something and got pissy about it not being ready yet and pulled the "Do you know who I am" card. I, in fact, did not know who he was. I replied that I was sorry, I was new there and didn't know all the regulars yet but his script would be done in 10 minutes.

He looked kind of deflated after that reply and wandered off. It wasn't until he was gone that someone told me who he was. Never watched the show myself.

This was like 25 years ago in Naples Florida. Outdoor seating at an expensive restaurant. Judge Judy sitting at the table next to me. She had a little dog with her and I said, oh can I pet your dog? She snapped No! I was a young woman at the time and I remember being stunned at how rude she was about it. Not very exciting, but that’s my story.

Bob Hope - complete jerk to kids the just wanted to say hello. I was shocked, they were crushed.

My son worked at a high end hotel in our city. Said Chris Rock was absolutely the biggest jerk ever. Rude, dismissive and arrogant. He was followed up by Buzz Aldrin. Nicest celeb? Aubrey Plaza.

Kevin Hart - rude to the locals in my town by pretending to be a wine snob.

I meet a lot of celebrities through work and have to understand that everybody has an off day and that they’re humans but Dan Fogler and Warwick Davies have been consistently rude and dismissive. Steve Cardenas is up there too. The nicest celebrity I’ve ever met is undoubtedly Kevin Smith.

Heather Graham. We ran into her in New York a few years ago and didn’t ask her for anything, no photo or autograph, we just said hello, and she literally scoffed and laughed, looked us up and down and turned her back.
