I worked with many celebrities over the years.

AMA!

And I will try, where I can, to name names.

I used to work in a celeb related role and all A listers were generally lovely and it was their entourage who were demanding and hard work, or Z listers who had something to prove. Did you find this?

I don't know why.

A family member worked for a friend of his. He was apparently the nicest gentleman you could ask to meet. Especially when the person had no idea who he was!

Spencer Matthews then? A friend recently met him and said he was lovely. Hopefully he's changed his ways from the mic days and grown up a bit.

Did you get any cheap flights as a perk of the job? @LoftyAndWendyJoinTheCrew

lol this old bag whos never had to do a days work in her life & so lets face it... hasnt "doesnt suffer fool's" ?!? like is that just a fancy way of saying she doesnt put up with people who she feels wastes her time?/is beneath her?/isnt as smart as her

like seriously when has this woman ever had to actually deal with a 'fool' who wasnt put in front of her purely due to status (her own!) & circumstance (theres)

I'm not being rude, but in that sort of position I'd assume there would be a minimal chance to get a really true idea of how someone is, unless you see them very regularly. When people (anyone) are travelling they're often not at their bet - they're not showing their true personality to whomever they come across who assists them. THey're often on a schedule, jetlagged or not feeling their best in some other way. Maybe they've had an argument with their spouse on the plane, or had bad news on the way, but have to put on a show for people when they get off as if everything is fine. I know myself that something that irks me customer service-wise when I'm feeling like that might on any other day not bother me and I'd brush problems off fine.

Having said that, Ill carry on RTFT and I'm sure will enjoy it but I'm going to guess that what I read about celebrities won't make me form any judgements about their true personality.

I could be lovely if I had an entourage running around catering to me!

Did you ever meet Michael Jackson and if so what was he like? Also Tom Hanks?

Did you meet any of the mega mega rich billionaires, or silicon valley types? Like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg etc - are they up themselves or just quiet and geeky?

lol I used to work for a record company and yep 😉

Err, okay. I met her while she was working; I wouldn't fancy her job, even with all the perks. My comment was in relation to me getting a sense she wouldn't tolerate stupidity. But you rant away if it makes you feel better 😁

We had a python on a rider once.

I was once on an easyJet plane coming back from Marseille with viscount Linley ( Margaret’s son) on board. Just sitting there like any old civilian. I thought “ this is going to be interesting at baggage reclaim”. However, on arrival he was quickly ushered down a side corridor by a very officious looking woman who immediately put some kind of thick rope across the entrance to keep hoi polio out.

Why do people bother with threads like these? Anyone could make up any old thing.

As they could on any mumsnet thread about anything 🤔.

I have it on good authority that he’s lovely.

No offence but "doesnt tolerate stupidity" by somebody who's never had to live in the real world or work a proper job outside of her interests & family obligations doesn't really have great connotations though

She like everybody else would be forced to tolerate a great bloody deal of stupid people if she'd had to work her way up/buy her own house/sort out her own childcare/ deal with divorce/animals in her own time 🫠

True, but I don't mean just on mumsnet. You see it everywhere, I worked with x&y and they were wonderful/awful/ugly/beautiful. It is one person's opinion, even if it is true. And any real 'tea' can usually not be shared for legal reasons.

As far as I'm aware from reading lots of articles/news etc, people that deal with her at functions, meetings and the usual charity things find her delightful

She's always fully briefed on the event, knows who she's talking to and what about and can be charming and funny

Doesn't suffer fools but that's not unreasonable

I don't really feel these threads are very fair, a lot of these people have flown long haul after working and the last thing they want is handlers and ground staff in their faces or paps. Handlers don't see as much of them as they'd have you believe. So it's a snapshot of who they might be not necessarily who they are.

Some FBOs are more discreet and even though no NDA was signed it's still nice to keep things to yourself.

I used to live near Baby Spice and she was awfully rude. Constantly scowling, shouting at anyone who walked anyone near her, particularly while she was chainsmoking outside the newsagents. She would come into a shop I worked in and we used to dread it.

@willWillSmithsmith give it a rest. Isn't life tough enough without people like you being nasty about people you don't even know. His knows what you are like to people you do know. Please be better.

I haven't worked with celebs but met someone who worked for a talent agency and she said much the same - the Z listers were the ones who were always demanding and whining about things.

I have a friend who is a Norland nanny for a very high net worth family and flies out of Farnborough frequently. It really is how the other half live.
