"To start, I began collecting drink orders from the table, but Taylor wouldn't look at me. When I asked if she wanted anything aside from water, she looked at me and said, 'Obviously,' but refused to elaborate, so another person at the table ordered her drink for her. It was really strange, and she also had so many weird modifications.

She acted like I was an unhinged fan every time I checked on the table. The vibe was rancid."

"She was awful, truly awful, and rude to an almost inexplicable degree, even by diva standards. I know there have been some attempts to rehabilitate her reputation in recent years, and sure, she wasn’t a monster or anything, but she totally deserved the reputation she had."

"All week, she had brought him homemade food for lunch, so when she asked what she should make for Sunday, he told her he wanted meatballs, and she was delighted to make them.

On Friday, she asked what time to make dinner because 'he would probably be very busy,' and he said 1 p.m. He blew her off! This woman made a full Italian spread, and he ghosted her!

On Monday, when the art department was clearing the neighborhood of set dressing, the woman was crying when she asked why Mario didn't show.

Mario laughed when our art director told him what happened and said he couldn't believe the woman actually thought he'd show up."

"He's incredibly dismissive. At comic cons, people are paying you big money so you'll pretend to care about them. He's rude to his fans in any way he can be. It's not an act, it's not a joke; he's just rude. I saw someone bring him a magazine they wanted autographed, and when he asked why, they explained they were trying to get an autograph from every celebrity in the magazine. He acted like a total ass, told them that was dumb, handed them an autographed 8x10, and called out 'Next!'"

"It’s important to note that this was business as usual for us, so none of us were even paying attention to the sound check.

We calmly explained that we had to do this now or it would be chaos trying to seat everyone in the handicap section during the show. He didn’t care and wanted to speak to our boss. Our boss said the same thing we did, so the tour manager wanted to speak with the arena's general manager… who told him the same thing. Eventually, the tour manager relented, and we finished our task (albeit late).

Gene Simmons remained the only person who ever gave us an issue with this task, and I still dislike him to this day."

"Plus, Stella had Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Yasmin Le Bon walk for her while all the other students just used their friends as models. Her exhibition outside had a Scrabble board with letters randomly scattered across it. Someone rearranged them to spell ‘Nepotism,’ which was funny. She’d expected special treatment throughout the course, and then upstaged all her fellow students with her celebrity connections. Wasn’t nice. Linda seemed nice, though."

"My buddy was very vocal about how they had provided security services for him for a week, and it was easily the worst week that any of them ever had.

Nicholson was a total dickweed to all of them 24/7."

"I looked around, and all of the cast, grips, camera people, and sound technicians were shaking their heads in disbelief."

"Kristen came storming in with her assistant, who was struggling to carry bags. Mind you, I was the only one in the restaurant at this point. She was basically like The Devil Wears Prada, complete with sunglasses indoors, sans any drop of style or elegance. 

She and her assistant stormed up to the hostess stand, with her snottily looking away from the very person she needed to ask for a check-in: me. She made her assistant speak for her because how dare she be expected to interact with plebeians! The fact that she had her face fully turned in the opposite direction while the poor guy had to talk for her was utterly ridiculous."

"I served her three times, the one time she came late to an Oscar dinner and made it known she arrived while the guy who was nominated was giving a speech. After she sat down, she kept interrupting him with 'jokes,' almost like a heckler, and people were clearly annoyed. When a friend approached her to tell her to calm down on the drinks, she was like, 'I don’t give a fuck, matter of fact, I’m ordering more.'

She was a mess by the end of the night and never once looked any of us in the eyes while ordering drinks. She’d also hold her drink out and wave it in the air whenever she was done to 'summon' us to grab the empty glasses from her. Just very rude and dismissive."

"She complained about everything from the carpet to craft services. She's vegan, and we had a wonderful vegan restaurant cater for her. They were SO excited to do so and catered the event with real china and silverware, something she insisted on in her rider. She took a bite, looked at the couple who catered, spat out the food, and stomped off. Her sweet husband apologized and had to handle her. 

She behaved so badly all evening at this ASPCA fundraiser, refused to meet top donors, floundered out, and left rather than do the agreed-upon encore. Frankly, I was glad to see her go."

"One Saturday morning, when I was 15, he came into the frozen yogurt shop where I was working alone and ordered a quart of plain yogurt. That size takes a while to fill, so while he was waiting, I cheerfully let him know I watched his movie, The Rocker, in a screening and liked it! He literally said one word to me, 'Cool,' rolled his eyes, and stepped away from the counter to have his assistant finish the transaction, even though there were literally just three of us in the building.

It was super awkward, and I couldn’t imagine being mean to a young fan at their place of work."
