You can absolutely love an artist’s music without knowing anything about their personal life. And you can appreciate an actor’s performances without worrying about how much they’re tipping servers at restaurants. The truth is that no matter how much we think we know about celebrities, we only get to see teeny tiny glimpses into their lives. Unless, of course, we’re lucky enough to run into them in person.
Trey Colbert recently invited viewers to share their wildest celebrity encounter stories on TikTok, so we’ve compiled a list of their juiciest replies. From wholesome experiences where stars bought fans drinks to times celebrities were caught acting entitled and rude, you’ll find all the piping hot tea down below. So enjoy reading through, and be sure to upvote the stories that you find most surprising!

Julia Roberts came to my small town for a movie. A little girl had a disposable camera and took a photo of her, mind you it was from quite a distance away. She walked over and grabbed it and stepped on it. I’ve hated her ever since, these people weren’t even bothering her.

I met Juliette Lewis right after I’d binge watched the first season of Yellowjackets. I told her how excited I was for the next season and in the loveliest way possible she told me it wasn’t going to be good. She was right. Always listen to Juliette Lewis.

We met Jon Bernthal in Atlanta. My daughter had a black eye made by makeup. He was about to take out whoever gave her a black eye. He was very concerned. I've always respected him a lot for willing to take on the world for a 16 year old even though he found out it was fake.
