"She Refused To Speak To The Staff": 35 Celebrity Encounters That Were A Lot To Witness

John Mellencamp

Let's just say he wouldn't do s**t for Jack *or* Diane.

Not me but for years my dad said Bill Cosby and Whoopie Goldberg were terrible people. He worked as a Black Jack dealer and in the 80’s either dealt to or knew people who dealt to them and they were cheap, rude and demanding. Never watched the Cosby show growing up cause my dad never liked Bill and for years I got offended looks from people when I told them about Bill.

Carlos Santana’s bodyguard hassled me at a brunch buffet because I was “getting too close to him.” I was trying to get eggs.

Amanda Palmer.

When I was 16, I went to a Dresden Dolls concert. Afterward, she and Brian Viglione were signing autographs. I went up to the table they were at, gave her my poster, and said “the show was awesome!”

Amanda, without looking up at me and in a monotone voice, just said “I know” and signed my poster.

Brian at least said “thank you, my dear!”

I’ve disliked her ever since. When all the c**p came out about her and Neil Gaiman, I thought “yeah, checks out.”.

Michelle Fairley, who played Catelyn Stark in Game of Thrones. I’d just seen her in a play, and I told her how much I enjoyed it. She huffed and just walked away.

Went to a convention for the TV show Psych. Whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth and honestly haven't cared to watch the show since.

James Roday Rodriguez was easily one of my favorite actors. He wasn't outwardly a d**k, but he seemed drunk and the rest of the cast kind of tried to cover it up. Very short with people and just looked like he didn't want to be there.

Dule Hill was, and probably always will be, a f*****g rockstar and was polite as could be.

Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster) is the most entitled, wanna be famous person ever. It's always the formerly famous, now D-listers who have something to prove.

This isn't really "a*****e" level, just weird. I used to go to the same gym as **Mario Lopez**. I was on the treadmill, facing several TVs. Mario came in and changed the channel so he could watch Access Hollywood, starring Mario Lopez.

Weirdly, despite many years in NYC PR and encountering countless celebrities, Sandra Lee (the “chef”) was the absolute worst. She was so entitled and rude.

John Stamos - went to a filming of Full House as a kid and he was a jerk about signing an autograph for me and my brother (we were little kids). Stephanie on the other hand was super nice.

Bam Margera. People find him to be a celebrity. He has a way of showing up on my vacation or flights for 15 years. He is vile. In 2012 my cruise was delayed for hours because he and his GF refused to reboard after a stop in Bermuda, he also of course was at the same small local bar as me that day. My last experience was 10/25 on a flight from lax to PHL. He was two rows ahead of me and we had a 6am flight. He was drinking scotch and being annoying and loud. After the flight I discovered his fans thinks he is sober.

Miss Fame from RuPaul’s Drag Race. I really liked her in her season, and told her so, and she was so rude to me. Made me loathe her and fall out of love with drag race for quite awhile. Now I realize she is just small.
On the flip side, Courtney Act and Bianca del Rio were two of the nicest people I’ve ever met!

Roseanne. She came into my bookstore and was just rude, standoffish and had a dark vibe around her.

I was waiting at the elevator after checkin at the Nobu Hotel, Steve Harvey comes afterwards. When the elevator comes, his bodyguard shoves me to the side, and tells me to take the next one. F**k Steve Harvey, I was there first.

Tim Robinson. He yells.
