Celebrities: they're just like us, and that's not always a good thing. These stars may be incredible on the big screen, but off-set they can be something else. While some stars have been well-documented for their rudeness, others manage to fly under the radar...until now!
Elisabeth Moss
Elisabeth Moss is an actor, producer, and award winner. With all those accolades, you'd probably think that she has been humbled and knows how to work with people right? Wrong. The actress is supposedly not as pleasant to have on set as she is to have on-screen...
"So Bored"
While some actors are all about entertaining others, Moss is apparently one who demands to be entertained. While at a party with her, one fan recalled their uncomfortable interaction. "I was just making quick small talk whilst waiting for my friend when one of her friends walked past mid-sentence and she reached out to her and said quite loudly 'Ugh take me with you, I’m so bored'" the fan noted, "It was so unbelievably rude and I haven’t shaken my dislike for her since then!"
DJ Khaled
DJ Khaled is one of the most famous producers in the world. Famous for coining the term "another one!" in his songs, he is not as likable as his tunes are. However, some witnesses say that his table manners are even worse than some of his beats...
Table Service
One fan recalled other servers who helped the star when he dined at a hotel restaurant. "DJ Khaled stayed at a hotel I was working at," said the fan, "He went to one of the restaurants in the hotel and I was told by one of the servers who served him that he was a huge d*** and complained about everything."
Liv Tyler
Liv Tyler, the daughter of the famous Steven Tyler, is pretty corrupted from growing up in the limelight. She's apparently pretty rude to anyone who isn't equally as famous as she is. She thinks very highly of herself, even though she had the added advantage of a famous father...
Early Entry
"I saw Liv Tyler walk into an art exhibit at the MOMA that was one person at a time. The wait was literally 4 to 5 hours to get in and people would show up hours before the gallery opened to see it," recalled a fan of the actress. "When Liv Tyler walked in she cut in front of everyone and told the guard that she was next." He denied her, and she threw a huge fit...
Kevin James
Even Paul Blart Mall Cop has his faults, it seems. Kevin James has made audiences laugh for several years with his wide-ranging roles, but behind the scenes, rumor has it this funny guy is not all laughs. One unlucky server had to make his strange acquaintance while working...
Don't Speak to Me!
Can you imagine being told you weren't good enough to serve someone their dinner? It happened to one waiter. "Buddy of mine was a waiter for him and [he] asked him if he wanted anything to drink," said one commenter on Reddit, "Kevin responds 'you were told not to speak to me'. Apparently, his guards tell all the waiters to stay a distance from him." That's gross behavior...
Steven Seagal
It's no secret that Steven Seagal doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to niceties on set. However, this one goes way beyond just a mean comment or two. There have been reports of him abusing fellow stuntmen, even sending some to the hospital for surgery thanks to his recklessness...
Jaw Dropper
One stuntperson recalled a time when the man went too far on set. Instead of throwing a stuntman to his prepared mark, the actor "drove the guys top teeth through a portion that wasn't prepared to break. This broke the stuntman's Maxilla (upper jaw) and knocked out most of his teeth." Since that moment, the man has gone through multiple surgeries to fix the alleged mistake...
James Corden
Though he might seem plucky and lovable when performing on his late-night show, James Corden doesn't have a great reputation in the industry. He's been described as arrogant by many people who saw him come up in the UK's comedy scene. Those who have worked closely with don't have the nicest things to say about the star.
I Could Buy You!
It's no secret that James has a lot of money, much like a lot of celebrities. However, there have been reports of the host flaunting his wealth to service industry workers, once even telling a waiter "Don't you know who I am? I could buy you!" when his order came out wrong. Not as nice as he seems...
John Cusack
John Cusack isn't just mean, he is hated by the city of Chicago. The actor has an entire subreddit thread dedicated to interactions with him, and almost all of them are negative. He's often spotted riding his motorcycle around town, and sometimes flipping off those who recognize him...
Totally Hated
One Reddit user made their distaste for Cusack quite clear with an anecdote. "Cusack annoys me to no end," the commenter wrote, "I work at a Lube 'n Tire shop near River North. Sometimes John brings his cars in to get tuned up. He is far and beyond the typical annoying customer who wants to hover near you or stare while you do your work."
Ellen Degeneres
For decades, America was in love with this blonde-haired talk show host. The daytime host was loved for her fun dance breaks, generous gift-giving, and informative interviews with celebrities and regular people alike. However fun it was to be her guest, being her staffer was not as enjoyable...
Not So Sweet
In 2020, a former employee came forward on Twitter saying that the people who worked under the star were treated horribly, even bordering on abuse. Even worse was that the post inspired others to come out with their own mean Ellen stories. There were dozens of recollections about how the host was rude, arrogant, and selfish on set.
William Shatner
Anyone who has met William Shatner in real life can attest that the actor is not as pleasant as his Captain Kirk counterpart. Over the years, dozens have reported being disappointed by their hero and the experience of his greeting. However, it goes even deeper for some fans...
A Hundred Bucks
"I once saw William Shatner charge a kid 100$ for an autograph because he was asking outside of the fan expo he was attending," recalled one witness to Shatner's shenanigans, "and then I heard a rumor he was charging $100 inside anyways." Clearly, this is a man who doesn't care about the people who support him...
Topher Grace
Best known for being Eric Foreman on That 70s Show, Topher Grace has had a twisted reputation for years. After abruptly leaving the show before it was finished, his costars reported Grace as being rude and arrogant to work with. However, over the years he has tried to change that rumor...
Better Now
Though he was allegedly a jerk in his younger years, current costars have nothing but nice things to say about the celebrity. Fans have reported him as being "a stand-up guy" and way better now. Allegedly he's been trying to shake that moody teen rep for the last few years of his career. Maybe one day, Topher...
Amy Schumer
Being a person in the public eye has its downfalls, especially if you want to be a normal person! One misconception that people seem to harbor about their favorite faces is that they're always "on" and down for a laugh anytime, but that is just not the case! Comedian Amy Schumer had something to say about that when she had a rather weird encounter with a follower...
No Pics
One day in Greenville, South Carolina, a fan came up on Schumer while holding out a camera that was recording the encounter. Schumer was not very pleased to have been "alarmed" by the fan and blasted them on her Instagram for acting in such a way, even after she politely asked the man to stop recording her. "No more photos," she said.
Jennifer Lawrence
J-Law became the sweetheart of the screen when she was dubbed the quirky girl-next-door type thanks to her awkward comments and clumsy mishaps in interviews. It's easy to relate to her when she remains on the screen, but off-screen? That's another story.
Stay Back
According to fans who have seen the star out and around town, she's allegedly incredibly rude to anyone who says hi and asks guards to keep them away from her. It makes sense for a star to want their time alone, but this can really break the hearts of loving fans who want nothing more than to snap a picture with the Hunger Games icon!
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz has had a wide-ranging and profitable movie career. She worked on films and shows such as The Mask, Charlie's Angels, and even Shrek as the voice of Princess Fiona. She's basically a household name at this point! A lot of people adore her, but that seems to be an issue for this beloved starlet...
Nothing to Give
Even though Diaz might love to be in the limelight, she won't give her fans the requests that they asked for. That means she allows no photos and no autographs. Her backing for this? If she has do so something for one person, then she has to do it for everyone. Well, that sort of makes sense, but wow is it harsh...
Jon Hamm
Jon Hamm was supposed to be America's Sweetheart, right? With a face like that and acting skills to match, who wouldn't love this stud? Well, apparently Kathy Griffin! The comedian has had some failures herself in the public eye, but that doesn't mean she can't call out other celebs for their own issues.
Hamm and Grifin
Apparently, Hamm and Griffin met at a party one night in Hollywood. The two crossed paths and Hamm had asked Griffin why she was even at the event. He also reportedly told her that her, "Emmy isn't a real Emmy." Later, he stopped a conversation with her and Jack Nicholson to call her "too old." What's eatin' you, Hamm?
Will Ferrell
Will Ferrell is known for his hilarious antics and quick-witted humor. After all, most of his movies are deeply rooted in hilarious comedy bits that cannot be everyone's cup of tea. The Funny Or Die co-founder is a leader on the big screen, but isn't exactly one to regard someone's feelings...
The Jokester
According to insiders, Ferrell's sense of humor doesn't have an off button... no matter who he's around. Some fans have said that Ferrell made some pretty aggressive jokes toward their mannerisms or appearance after asking for a quick hello. If you're a fan of Ferrell and his humor, get some thick skin...
Mike Myers
Mike Myers has an entire world of movies under his belt. From starring in Austin Powers to his role in Wayne's World, his older work is still being talked about to this day. He was an amazing powerhouse when he was still on the big screen, but his goofy demeanor didn't mean he wasn't a bit of a diva when the camera turned off...
Annoying on Set
The people who worked alongside the actor on set remember him as being quite the diva. He had a list of daily demands to make sure that his time was being used perfectly and without waste. Some employees even said that he made them put a tent over his trailer so that no one could tell when he was entering or leaving. Weird and annoying indeed!
Michael Jordan
The basketball legend has been a hero to hundreds of thousands of people from every walk of life. Even people who don't consider themselves fans of the sport know this guy. One of his inspired fans was someone called Chamillionaire, the rapper who ended up meeting his idol one night and wanted a photo to remember the moment...
Money Moves
Asking your idol to take a photo isn't necessarily an evil act, but some celebrities are sick pretty annoyed about it... Michael Jordan is one of these celebs. When little Chamillionaire asked for a photo with the baller, Jordan said that he would take one for $15,000. Yikes...
Pierce Brosnan
According to one comedian, this Mamma Mia star can be pretty rude when pushed! Talk show host James Cordon recounted a sad experience with actor Pierce Brosnan to reality star Khloe Kardashian when on "The Late Late Show" in 2017...
Get Out of the Way
Apparently, Cordon and Brosnan were both guests at the same exact U2 concert. James Cordon admitted that he was a bit starstruck at first (who wouldn't be?). However, then Brosnan shoved past him in the crowd. Yikes! How about that for a reason to never meet your heroes?
Dan Akyroyd
Saturday Night Live and Ghostbusters star Dan Akyroyd is well aware of how to be a star in the spotlight. He's been in the public eye for several decades with a good amount of Academy Award nominations in his past. That also means that he should know how to best act in public...
Boundless Bodyguards
Being in the spotlight for so long is going to come packed with several safety concerns. So, Akyroyd makes sure to bring his bodyguards with him wherever he happens to be. Apparently, they're pretty intimidating! Other people have said that he's mean to service industry professionals and let's be honest, that's probably most rich people.
Rachael Ray
Rachael Ray is one of the most infamous daytime talk show hosts out there. She surely cooks some great food and has hilarious banter with her celebrity guests. People can get pretty heated when she gets into the kitchen, though, that's for sure...
Nothing Nice
Apparently, Ray can get a bit harsh with her staff members, guests, and fans. At one point, she apparently told a member of her staff, "I need stupid people to not talk to me." That's not the sweet Rachael Ray that we met on television!
Mariah Carey
Okay, it's no secret that Mariah Carey can be a bit of a dive when it comes to her performances. She's one of the biggest drama queens out there right now, and probably of all time! So it should come as no surprise to her followers that pop princess can be difficult to work with...
The GMA Performance
There was a special performance that really set her fans off, though. During a showcase on Good Morning America, Carey snarkily told a backup singer to stop "covering up" her lines. A lot of people said that it was because she didn't want anyone else to take her spotlight, and it's believable...
Orlando Bloom
Orlando Bloom always seemed like a pretty laid back dude. He was always pleasant in interviews and always had something fun to say on camera and in interviews. Fans were shocked to see a strange outburst from him...
Do Not Record!
In 2018, Bloom was performing in a play when he stopped the performance to scold an audience member. He saw someone sitting with an electronic tablet in their hands. He assumed that they were recording his work. He screamed to put the tablet away. When the fan didn't, he left the stage. According to the woman, and those around her, she had been using the tablet to block an air duct that was blowing cold air on her.
Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore is best recognized for her parts in shows and films This Is Us and Tangled, as well as for her sweet attitude and fun social presence both on and offline. Things got a little sticky when someone spoke up about a rather unfortunate encounter with her, though...
Wasting My Time
Apparently, the beloved actress had accidentally bumped into someone while grocery shopping one day. The person she bumped into dropped all of his groceries all over the floor. Instead of helping the man to pick them up, she stood there and complained that he was wasting her time. That's her fault!
Jerry Seinfeld
Seinfeld basically set the scene for comedy throughout the 1990s. Not only did it define the future of the sitcom comedy genre, but it also set Jerry Seinfeld up for the rest of his financial life! Naturally, the fame could have gotten to his head over the years...
No Hugs
According to a few different witnesses, Jerry was caught in an awkward and rude exchange between himself and the pop sensation named Kesha. When the singer tried to approach the comedian for a hug, he replied, "No, thanks," and put his hand between them. Seinfeld thought he was too good for her!
Kate Winslet
This Titanic star has a loving fanbase who have supported her at every step of her long career road. When she was filming parts of Labor Day in the state of Massachusetts, her fans flocked to meet her and hopefully get a picture to commemorate the day. They were severely disappointed...
No Words
One day while she was on set for filming, fans eagerly awaited for their idol to arrive outside. It was rainy and cold, but they didn't care as long as they caught a glimpse. Finally, hours after they showed up, Winslet got out of her car to enter the closed filming area. She didn't even look their way. Talk about a letdown!
Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx is one of the greatest actors out there right now. He wowed fans in his roles in Collateral and Ray while snagging a win at the Academy Awards. He's quite a talented man! Unfortunately, all of his success means that more eyes are on him than there typically would have been...
Storming Away
Foxx is usually very put together while in front of the lens, but he has had some sour moments too! Apparently, Foxx previously stormed out of an interview after someone wanted to discuss his relationship with actress Katie Holmes. Even though it's unprofessional to walk out, that's quite an invasive question!
Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock's talent knows no limits. She's comical, she's dramatic, she's intelligent... What else is better than that? She's been in huge blockbuster hits like Miss Congeniality, The Blind Side, and Bird Box. Bullock is usually depicted as being down-to-earth, but that's not always the case...
Get Some Boundaries
Bullock is well-known for denying her fans autographs and even covering up her face when a fan wants to snap a photograph together. One time, she even managed to reject a fan who was confined to a wheelchair, which the media naturally ran wild with. Celebrities don't always have to be on edge!
Adam Levine
A lot of music fans have mixed feelings about the Maroon 5 singer by the name of Adam Levine. He was also one of the central judges for The Voice for several years, and his friendship with Blake Shelton was both hugely hilarious and insanely adorable. That doesn't mean he's always super sweet though...
Very Shallow
It's not a secret that Levine is more than just a little bit shallow. He also has a desire for attention that he's said before has burned some of his relationship bridges. Apparently, Levine has a secret rule of not giving out his autograph to anyone he doesn't consider attractive. Bold, considering his wife is a supermodel. What are his rules?
Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood is best regarded for her award winning stint on American Idol back in 2005 as well as for her countless hits. Over the years, she's become a country superstar. Her sweet sound and perky demeanor might just be for show, according to some...
Openly Selfish
Everybody has their issues, and it takes a big person to bring them into the discussion! Underwood has admitted that she can be quite selfish from time to time. She sometimes finds herself regretting not thanking people, or feeling bad about telling presenters not to goof up her entrance when she goes on TV. At least she's bettering it!
Ashton Kutcher
That 70s Show star and philanthropist, Ashton Kutcher, has made an excellent example out of his career. He's not one for the big, flashy starstudded life and dedicates a lot of his time to helping children in need. Apparently, though, Kathy Griffin had a bit of a problem with him when they were working on a project together...
Super Snubbed
According to Griffin in one of her books, she and Ashton were brought on as hosts together. Apparently, Kutcher wasn't keen on listening to her and working alongside the woman. He snubbed her at every chance he had. He even interrupted an important conversation between her and P. Diddy! Now, Kutcher hasn't denied this tale, but it's still a bit odd for Griffin to come out and say such rumors...
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Neil deGrasse Tyson is an unusual type of celebrity. He got his claim to fame by sharing some wild facts about the world we live on. He built up a dedicated fanbase across the globe and managed to get kids interested in science and space! Although Tyson is grateful for his fans, his fame comes at a costly price...
Pay the Piper
Apparently, a club appearance for Tyson costs upwards of $85,000 for a few hours. Many of the venues have agreed to pay his fee so he can talk about time and space for a little while, but a lot of fans see that as selling out. Sorry Tyson, but people hate that...
Rihanna
Everybody loves Rihanna, and why wouldn't they? Her music, her makeup brand, her looks... she's such a multifaceted talent! Her fans especially admire her can-do attitude. She doesn't take any badmouthing from anyone. Sometimes, that'll backfire on her...
Mocking a Teen
Rihanna was once upon a time a force to be reckoned with on social media. She was known for her snarky retaliations and silly attitude. Things took a turn for the worst when she made fun of a fan who tried to recreate one of her iconic looks for a prom photo. The 16-year-old was definitely not expecting her idol to make fun of her...
Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase has a bit of a notorious connotation to his name in Hollywood. He's hard to work with, unable to work with writers, and his alcohol problem can be unbearable to accommodate. His face still comes across TV screens in America around Christmas time, and his time on Community is especially memorable.
Angry Old Man
As he's gotten older, he's also gotten harder and harder to work with. Many of his costars believe him to be a corrupt and bitter old man. He would purposefully make working with him difficult by belittling the rest of the cast. He would even try to pick out their flaws and mock their appearances...
Christian Bale
At this point, it's been known that Christian Bale has an aggressive anger issue. Before his expletive outburst back in 2009, he was pretty much only known as a rough and tough guy. His parts in films like Batman and American Psycho definitely paved the way for the rest of his life...
Anger Issues
After that 2009 video surfaced, Bale was required to apologize profusely. Apparently, he also yelled at young adoring fans and made them cry tears of disappointment. His career tanked quite a bit after this PR nightmare...
Ariana Grande
The Nickelodeon star turned pop singing sensation has had her fair share of issues in the limelight. Remember that one controversy when Grande licked a donut then put it back? Yeah, not adorable. There's also something way worse that some fans couldn't turn a blind eye to...
Careless About Fans
A lot of fans had a problem with one of her contest-winning meet and greet sessions in 2013. Apparently, the singer only spent around 20 seconds with the contest winners before going back into her dressing room. Her team cited it as a "safety hazard" but the fans involved said that she just didn't want to speak to her followers...
Christina Aguilera
Xtina is best known for her crazy and unforgettable voice. She's been in the limelight since she was a young teen, so it makes sense that she probably doesn't remember the time before she was trying to make it in the industry, and apparently, she still acts like a child too...
I'm A Celeb!
Aguilera once made an entire store close down for an entire day just so she could shop there, which is sadly normal for very famous celebs like her. More than that though, she also made the staff on the clock stay out of the store while she looked so that she wouldn't be "bothered" by the masses. That's quite the wrong attitude to have!
Justin Bieber
The Canadian pop star is not a stranger to some bad media coverage. Even though he has loads and loads of adoring fans who idolize his every move, he wasn't always the nicest person in the past. When he was a little bit younger, he had quite a memorable rebellious streak that really hurt his public image...
Going Insane
Bieber used to be the talk of the town. He was found very guilty of spitting off of balconies, spitting on fans, peeing in restaurant buckets, and even yelling at audience members who didn't stop talking during his shows. He had an anger issue, and many people attributed it to the fact that he got famous at such a young age. After getting married though, he's seemed to calm down a lot...
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Honestly, Catherine Zeta-Jones doesn't really have much of a personality when she's off-screen. We don't know much about her personal life except through what she reveals in her interviews. You wouldn't think she was a nasty person, but according to some fans, she's not exactly the nicest either...
Pretty Enough... I Guess
Zeta-Jones can be a bit of a bully to those that she meets. According to some eyewitnesses, she once told an 8-year-old fan who wanted to be an actress that she was "pretty enough, I suppose" for the public job. It's not all about looks, but Zeta-Jones is from a different planet it seems like...
Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts seems sweet enough, or so you might think. She has a bubbly personality and is basically an icon from the rom-com genre. She's had her downfalls in the past, though.
Very Harsh
Roberts' sister committed suicide, and her note was pretty somber. In her note, she said that she felt rejected and belittled by her celebrity big sis. Some people have since lost their adoration for the star after she supposedly stopped guests from worshipping in a temple so she could shoot Eat Pray Love on her own time.
Eric Roberts
Apparently, Julia Roberts isn't the only Roberts who has a problem with the spotlight that comes with their career. He's got a different attitude towards his fans and anyone who is a "non-celebrity." His actions have made him the celebrity to avoid in most situations...
Give Me Cash
Despite being so well off that he's basically set for life, Roberts still expects his fans to pay for his time and attention. Literally. If they want an autograph or a photograph, that'll be a $50 bill in his pocket! Hopefully, no one actually played into that terrible scheme...
Hilary Duff
Lizzie McGuire fans grew up with Hilary Duff and her unforgettable life lessons. The Disney show helped create her entire career, including a popular music career with some seriously infectious hits. She was basically America's teen dream come true. Naturally, she wasn't always perfect...
Gossip Girl
Apparently, Duff is known for having a bit of a sharp tongue. To anyone who would listen, she's ready with some serious gossip. She's had problems in the past with celebs like Chris Brown, Karrueche Tran, and Faye Dunaway because of her big mouth! She basically called Faye Dunaway old-looking after the actress made a comment on Duff's acting ability. That's a low blow for actors...
Iggy Azalea
The Aussie star is known for having thick skin and quick wit. She's had a lot of hate in her time on the stage and a lot of beef with other famous artists. She's also known for participating in social media fights among randoms, which is just super odd. A lot of people seem to have issues with her...
Lots of Beef
Nowadays, she's pretty off the grid. This is mainly because she butts heads with almost everyone on social media, fans or celebrities alike. She's had fights with stars like Zayn Milk, RuPaul, and Azealia Banks (which isn't hard to do, really.) She lost a lot of support because of her rude ways...
