Let’s admit, most of us like to follow celebrities at least in some capacity. After all, it’s their job—being a person or a brand common folks can enjoy (which is completely OK as long as it doesn’t turn toxic). But have you ever witnessed a celeb doing or saying something, even if rather meaningless, that instantly made you dislike them?
Well, people in this online thread have. They all shared various (usually petty) reasons why they don’t like a famous person, ranging from silly to somewhat worrisome. So, let’s jump in to check these out and maybe even consider sharing your take, if you have one?

A radio show I used to listen to did a giveaway every day. They always gave the prize to caller #7. I tried to win the prize every day but was never able to. One day the prize was a nintendo game cube (when it was the newest system). The show had tenacious D as guests that day. the host announces “call now, caller number 7 wins a new nintendo game cube!” I start dialing. then jack black says “no, we’re taking over the show and we say caller THIRTEEN wins!” That was the day I was finally caller 7. jack black robbed me of a gamecube.

I still love Neil Young, but I will never as long as I live forgive him for writing so beautifully about his wife in his autobiography, how she was the anchor that kept his mental health functional over decades, what a wonderful mother she was to their children, how devoted she was to creating opportunities for severely disabled children like their son…
Meanwhile he was cheating on her with Daryl Hannah, finally leaving her for that vapid mermaid while she was DYING OF CANCER.

When I was in primary school mum told I could get one thing from the Schoolastic Book Fair as a Christmas present. I said “Mum the only thing I want is Sim City 2000. I want it more than anything.”
Christmas morning rolls around and she hands me a wrapped gift that is shaped nothing like a Sim City 2000 CD Rom. I unwrap it to find that instead of getting Sim City 2000, she got me a Robbie Williams sticker book.
From that day forth I have maintained an unshakable hatred for Robbie Williams.

Demi lovato going after a small froyo shop for having sugar-free options, she did this while she had like 100m followers on instagram and that froyo shop had received an influx of negative reviews on google lowering their ranking and mind you, this was right in between the pandemic when a lot of small businesses were struggling.

Julia Roberts wearing that “A Low Vera” shirt and then posing for paps.
Background: Julia was sleeping with married cameraman Danny Moder. Danny’s wife, Vera, wasn’t making the divorce easy so Julia decided to publicly shame her. F**k Julia Roberts.

I had to look up the year, but in 2017 Katy Perry made jokes about her new hairstyle at the time, saying that she hadn’t shaved her head yet because she wasn’t crazy, and she was saving shaving her hair for a public meltdown. She was poking fun at Britney Spears’ breakdown, just completely out of nowhere. Nasty behavior.

This wig. I will never forgive him, the stylist, the director, the studio….NONE of them. Egregious.
*Edit: For those who don’t know, this is from the TV show, Dexter, and is part of a series of flashbacks where Dexter is a young teen. They slapped this bad boy on the the actor and called it good enough, haha*.

My absolute most unhinged one: One time while sick with Covid, I had a dream that I had s*x with Pedro Pascal and he didn’t even TRY to reciprocate. Basically a wham, bam, thank you ma’am. I’m not attracted to him *at all*, and it was just a dream, but ever since then I’ve had one sided beef. Like, I don’t even get to enjoy my own s*x dream?? While I have Covid????? Egregious.

In 2013, Emma Roberts tried to cut the line to get a cronut at Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City, but was turned away by the doorman.
That really twisted my panties in a bunch.
Also Ariana’s Doughnut gate. I really take my pastries seriously, both Emma and Ari went to my s**tlist.

I don’t listen to Adele’s music any more because I had tickets to her concert on the first anniversary of my mum dying (I liked Adele, but my mum LOVED Adele) and she cancelled it the morning of because of being ill. In the cancellation email, she said she’d make sure her fans for that gig got priority tickets the next time she toured. Funnily enough, none of the gigs she’s done since then have been classified as a tour. When I eventually got to the front of the queue for her Hyde Park date, it was standing only tickets at £350 each. Pass!

Like 20 years ago, Ewan McGregor did a multi-country motorcycle trip sponsored by BMW. My dad also rode BMW. He rode three hours to the dealer for a scheduled maintenance appointment, but when he got there, they couldn’t complete the service because they GAVE THE PARTS TO MCGREGOR.
My family still boos him whenever he comes on screen. Curse you, McGregor!

Rainn Wilson once bragged on Twitter how he didn’t give an autograph to a huge Office fan because the guy called him Dwight, not Rainn. He was so smug about it.

Neil Patrick Harris for the Amy Winehouse cake.
I wasn’t even a fan of her music but thought was deeply disturbing. And I was a pretty big HIMYM fan when I found out.
Edit: trigger warning ⚠️
In 2011, 3 months after her death NPH had a Halloween party featuring an edible [body] of Amy as a centerpiece.

My mom was the dean of student affairs for a women’s college in the 70’s. She booked Bruce Springsteen for a concert on campus as part of that year’s graduation celebrations. He claimed 2 hours before to be sick and skipped the concert. Ever since then she’s held a deep unrelenting grudge towards him and will not listen to any of his music despite being from New Jersey.

Ben stiller looked at me weird at Disneyland and I think about it every time I hear about him. He walked past the restrooms I was waiting outside of like twice in 5 minutes both times with their weirdest and strongest eye contact I’ve ever had with a stranger. Mad uncomfy.

I can’t stand the sight of Saoirse Ronan’s face because she was just too good in Atonement. All these years later and her face sends me into fight or flight mode.

Jennifer Garner telling Conan “snuck” isn’t a word on his show like 20 years ago, and then saying because he went to Harvard he should know that.
She was wrong, but even if she had been right, it was such a douchey thing to say, and there was no humor in the way she said it. I can’t see her in anything and not think about it lol .

Niche, but a player for the Western Bulldogs AFL Men’s team got the last veggie roll on a day I was craving them and *directly behind him in line*, meaning I had to get the only other vegetarian option for lunch (hot chips). I’ve refused to support the men’s team since that day. I’m not even sure if he still plays for the team, but I don’t forget and I don’t forgive.

Sean Penn tried to [end] me with his eyes when I asked him where the beach chairs were at a shop in the early 90s. I was a kid doing a dare from my aunt and uncle, but still he tried to k**l me ocularly. Shame, Sean 😂.

My friend hates Kermit the frog because on the socials someone wrote a racist post and then posted the Kermit tea drinking meme. I thought “you know that doesn’t make Kermit a racist right?”.

I have a very petty one. I’ve hated Anna Kendrick since I saw Pitch Perfect because I could not stand her character. Like who doesn’t know “since you’ve been gone”?? I know you’re lying.

This is petty because it’s entirely based on my own speculation, but I’ll never forgive Judd Apatow for excluding Linda Cardellini from his 00s heyday. She was one of the only people from the cast who wasn’t in any of those movies. She’s famously Jason Segal’s ex and I think she got pushed out because of that.

I don’t like Miles Teller’s face. He looks like he’s always smelling something bad. I won’t watch anything he’s in. I HEAR Whiplash is great. Good for him. I refuse to subject my eyes to that.
