"Refuses To Play Wheelchair Basketball With Us": 50 Celebrities Exposed For How Awful They Are

After reading so many of these depressing stories I just have to say something nice and positive.

Robin Williams was an amazing person.

We had our daughters as extras in Death to Smoochy. At the end of the first day of shooting with kids, he went and thanked every single family and even hugged the kids and took photos.

A few days later, our youngest wasn’t feeling well so they had her sit out filming in the on set daycare.
Robin Williams heard this and went over and played cards with her for an hour and a half and told her jokes to make her laugh.

I make it a point of not bothering high profile people when out. The only way is if I just talk to them normal in a subtle manner, and not acknowledge that I know who they are. I’ll just say have a great night and leave without really making eye contact or fanfare - just to give them the treat of being treated normal in public. They actually respond better to that.

One good story was when I was getting off the Pod at Heathrow (just flew in from Paris). I was alone and had a huge backpack and some luggage. I was struggling and people were just walking by. And though it’s no one’s obligation to help/assist me, I was hoping someone would because I was struggling hard with everything on me.

Suddenly, my bag gets lifted up by one of the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen - and she had a buzz cut. It was Sinead O’Connor. She was with this guy at the time. She helped me with my luggage to my next destination, we talked briefly. Was one of the kindest people I ever met.

To counter all of the bad, Weird Al is one of the genuinely nicest people I have ever met. Just a super cool, kind, down to earth guy.

I almost got in a bar fight with Danny Masterson because I cut him off. My coworkers were closing the bar and I told him we couldn’t legally serve anymore
and we were trying to go home. He cussed out my barback and I confronted him about it and he played the celebrity card on me and tried to intimidate me. His friends calmed him down and he didn’t do anything This was back in 2017 before he was arrested so seeing the scandal unfold later was icing on the cake because the way he talked to me and my staff was so entitled and immature. Glad he’s rotting in jail.

It’s NOT Stephen king. He’s wonderful.

Worst was Michael Jordan, I spent around four months in a Chicago children’s hospital in the mid 1990s. We often got local celebrities who visited the hospital. Most of them came alone or with a few friends/family but Michael Jordan walked in with an entourage including reporters and photographers from two different newspapers. He refuses to play wheelchair basketball with us because he might get hurt. He refused to sign autographs because his autograph was worth $200 a pop. Only pictures allowed were the ones taken by the photographer and those were only really done with a few paraplegic teenage boys who played wheelchair basketball. He was there for maybe 20-30 minutes.

Contrast him to my two favorites: Chris Farley and Brittney Spears. Mr. Farley came in the mid 1990s through a back door. He read to the kids in ICU or the toddlers after surgeries. He did character voices. He was the best giant in Jack and the Beanstalk when he read it to me after my scoliosis surgery. He even preformed “Lunch Lady Land” for us teenagers with the props borrowed from our lunch lady. Brittney came one day in 1999 and hung out with us. We white girl danced to her songs with her, made and ate homemade pizza with us and then we watched a girly rom com. When she saw that our teenage rec room was kinda sad she donated money to redo it.

I delivered a pizza to Chris Brown's tour bus in my hometown. He didn't tip, but he also didn't slap me around so I chalked it up as a win.

Dakota Fanning was bored out of her mind and looked like she wanted to be anywhere else when I interviewed her for a college newspaper, I felt like a slug. Kristen Stewart on the other hand, despite her image in the press at the time, was so sweet and thoughtful in her answers and even told her publicist (who was trying to rush her along) to basically leave her alone while she continued to chat with me. She even remembered my name at the end and said it was great talking. I was smitten!

I served Michael Keaton at a yogurt shop when I was in high school. It was the early 90s so he was at peak celebrity status. He was very kind and gracious. He asked where the tip jar was which was very nice.

Jlo is horrific , you are not allowed to look at her if she is shopping in your store and only communicates to her personal assistant.

I only have a second hand nice story.

Daniel Day Lewis and my mom had the same cleaning lady when he was filming The Crucible. He left this cleaning lady notes thanking her for various little things, or hoping she was over her cold, stuff like that.

DJT in Houston Airport in 1990's yelling, cursing, and throwing a tantrum at his entourage.

Regardless of political issues, would never vote for a toxic sociopath I witnessed IRL.

Got called to David Spade's room for a wifi issue once at like 3 am. When i told him he needed to wait for I.T. in the morning he said "I didn't think you would be able to fix it. I figured they don't put their best and brightest on the graveyard shift". Lmao.

My uncle used to own a chain of theaters and had a few movie premiers hosted. He said Kevin Costner was extremely rude to all employees and staff and Jackie Chan was one of the most gracious people he’s met. The Costner thing always surprised me.

Opposite of the prompt but on my first day training at a restaurant kenan thompson came in with some friends and the server i was training under had their table so i was tailing her the entire time. they were super kind and only got ~$100 worth of food but tipped $400 on top. as they were leaving kenan leaned in to me and whispered good luck 😭😭.

I once accidentally blocked in Zac Efron while he was leaving a Netflix movie premiere (I was an uber driver picking up someone who turned out to be the movie’s makeup artist.) He put down his window said “hey, you mind if we get out?” very politely, and gave me a wave when I pulled out.

It was just a 10 second interaction, but I just thought “wow, Troy Bolton was nice about that”.

This is a nice story about someone who is often cited as rude, but my wife had very pleasant interactions with him.

Harrison Ford came into a restaurant my wife worked at regularly while filming something in the last few years. He kept going in because the restaurant staff did not make a fuss about him coming in.

As long as you treated him like a normal person, he would engage in really pleasant conversation, ask questions about the staff’s lives, and even gave my wife 90% of a bottle of expensive wine that he decided not to drink.

Gary Busey. He grabbed my butt while I was holding my infant son and called me a hot mama. I looked at him like I was offended and he looked back at me, offended that I was offended.

Tippi Hedren came into the diner 30 minutes after 2pm closing. All the lights were off, all the grills were cold, everything was put away, we just hadn't locked the door yet. She walked straight to her favorite booth with her friends and they started to sit down. I walked over and said "sorry Ms Hedren, but we closed at 2pm."

She huffed and puffed and stomped out, hissing "this is unbelievable!"

Also, Alice Cooper took a picture with my kid in the baggage area at Burbank airport about fifteen years ago, he was elegant and gracious and really nice to my kid.

Never met a celebrity, but my aunt says Jennifer Lopez is one of the rudest people on the planet. Apparently, when she goes to restaurants, she refuses to look servers in the eye, and orders through her personal assistant. She is also horrible on planes for yelling at flight attendants apparently. And beyond that she just glares at people and never says please or thank you.
