It’s one thing to admire a celebrity for their work, and it’s another to put them on a pedestal. If you choose to do the latter, you will likely end up taken aback once you see a side of them that you don’t see whenever they’re on camera.
In some cases, you may see these stars at their worst moments, as these people did. They went on to share their stories in a TikTok post from months back, proving that no good comes out of hero worship, albeit unintentionally at times.

I used to work at a restaurant in LA that a lot of celebrities frequented. Hands down Chelsea Paretti from Brooklyn 999. So much so that her husband Jordan peel felt bad and apologized more than once. The irony is she’s not a huge recognizable star either. Some of the nicest are Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Frances mcdormant, gweneth Paltrow.

Viola Davis. I was working on a set she was on, and I wasn’t trying to meet her lol, I had to do coffee rounds so when I got to her, she didn’t answer me even though I was 2 feet away from her, so I asked again and she wouldn’t even acknowledge me. was so weird to be treated as if I was invisible. she wasn’t even busy or in the middle of anything lol

James Corden… came in to the Disney store I worked at with his wife. Never made eye contact and would tell his wife what to say so he didn’t have to speak to me directly… for no reason mind you… I wasn’t fangirling, I was just doing my job.

Chappell Roan. i met her before she was even famous, when she was doing gigs at olivia rodrigo’s concerts. i went up to her after the concert (i saw her walking around) saying how i really enjoyed her performance and she just scoffed at me, no smile—straight face.

I met NSYNC when I was like 9. Justin was so rude, which was upsetting because he was my favorite. The rest of the guys (especially Lance and Chris) were absolute sweethearts.

i was an extra on the OC for a 3 months. Mischa Barton was the worst. she got mad at Extras for walking near her even though that was what the director said to do. and when it came time for her to cry in her scene, she yelled at the whole production that, “she coudnt cry while everyone was staring at her!” and made everyone leave, it was just her, the camera man and director in the only shaded area. 45 of us had to stand in the sun while she attempted to cry for 3 hours to get a 3 minute shot. I understood very well after that why her character was ended. the rest of the cast was kind and would come play card games with the extras in between shooting scense

I was on the set of The Help and Emma Stone was unfortunately not nice… Easy A had just come out & I was so excited to meet her! We filmed in Mississippi (where I’m from). Instead of staying in the nice hotel we have in town with all the others actors she had a family move out of their historical home so she could live there while they were shooting

My daughter was an extra in a movie with Will Ferrell about 9 years ago and he was on a phone call and scared her with how mean he was being to whoever he was talking to but then he put the phone down for a second and said hello to her and seemed like a different person and totally normal and nice. Still left a weird impression on her.

Lana Del Rey told someone I know who is the sweetest person, “I don’t like your energy”, while he was telling her compliments and that his friend he was with loves her. She was so rude. Heartbreaking.

Keira Knightley, she wasn’t rude, really just quite dismissive. She came to my work with her kids and I could tell she just wanted to be Mom in that moment, so I treated her like I did the other customers. I think she either just couldn’t be bothered to be spoken to or thought I was just treating her differently. Every time I spoke to her about the water slide, what to do, the general rules she just sort of put her hand up and looked the other way.

William Shatner…my son wanted to meet him at a Comic-Con. He was clearly less than thrilled to be there. My son was 12 at the time and he did not even acknowledge him at first. I said, “you know he saved up his own money to meet you and have you sign this,” in not a not so nice tone. He did then look up and acknowledge my son. It pissed me off. I’m sorry your career has amounted to being at a Comic-Con in RI, but it isn’t the fault of the kids paying to meet you.

Vivica Fox…I made a cake for a party she attended. The host personally introduced me to her. I asked for a picture and she rudely said no. Regina King was at the same table. She was the kindest and took a picture with me. I cherish it.
