Anyone worked for someone famous?

[FishOnTheTrain]

I’m working in a company for an influencer/z list celeb. She’s well known in a certain group of people and hangs around with some pretty famous faces. She has her own fashion company.

I don’t report into her, but work closely with her and she is an utter bitch. The way she comes across on social media is so…different. Her intern films her for content daily and she puts on such a smiley show. When the camera is off, she’s rude, demanding, bitches about everyone in the team, including members of the team that go above and beyond to make her business a success and make her happy…I could go on.

she contradicts herself constantly, making me feel like I’m going mad. I know if I died tmrw she wouldn’t care. She cares only about herself and her success. She’s not even nice about her husband, who is such a lovely guy.

I want to get out this company asap. It’s just difficult to know where to go and what to do next so in the meantime…has anyone else experienced similar?

I have lost all respect for this woman. She is awful and everyone that works for her knows it.

Concur about Tony Benn, met him once and he was lovely, very genuine and engaging

Welcome back to the 1950s ladies and gentlemen! 😬

I’m very surprised that someone said Whitney Houston was not a nice person. My younger sister met her when she was 18 and a runner at the bbc for a number of shows including Wogan and TOTPS and her and Whitney hit it off from the beginning. They kept in touch and Whitney flew my sister round the globe supported her through her marriage breakdown and gifted her money for her daughter’s education. We met her at numerous family functions over the years and it was hard to see her decline. My sister said Bobby brown was the worse thing that ever happened to her friend

My friend went out with a z list actress, very famous in the 90s with a failing current career. She was an absolute narcissitic phsycho, had a little hareem of gay guys who worshiped her and egged on her insane mental ways and my friend ended up in therapy after the relationship. I met her a few times when I had just had a baby and was quite overweight, and then I lost some weight a good few stone and met her again and she had a personality switch on me, it was really odd, she was spitting venom at me the whole night.

Oh I am so jealous (my user name shows my devotion ). One of my mates encountered him at a record signing at HMV, said his beauty was almost unreal. I would have flung myself at him, poor man!

I was on a Trade Mission thing in Manchester with The Japanese Ambassador and Andy Burnham was there. He was making himself a cuppa and made me one too and we chatted for a bit. Lovely man and his eyelashes are indeed that fabulous

Men are just better than women

Not better.

But I think a lot of women are very very emotionally cruel to other women .

Maybe it comes from not liking themselves? And then being resentful of the competition

Sighing with relief to hear this, I think it would crush me to hear otherwise

No… rhymes more with Stalin Maybe

Sorry!! Not Dragon’s Den! Meant The Apprentice 🫣

Can I ask why you explained a man’s behaviour off due to the death of his daughter but seem quite a bit less compassionate towards women?

If we continue to preach women are awful bosses and to work with why would men who still hold the majority of power promote us? Hire us?

I think it sets a very dangerous tone for women in the work force.

I know someone who had a relationship with him and he dumped her very casually and unceremoniously. She asked why he'd bothered with her as he clearly wasn't really into her, and he shrugged and said, 'It's nice to have someone around.'

John Humphrys was a cunt. Just like on the radio. Argumentative, surly, and combative for no reason.

Joan Bakewell was a joy: funny, polite, charming.

Paul Merton was shy, quiet, unassuming, but very passionate and articulate once he got going talking about comedy history.

My husband sat next to Robson Green on a flight from Newcastle to London several years ago - said he was really friendly and chatty until his manager appeared, and then he changed and was quite off-ish and just 'different'. As soon as the manager walked away he was back to his chatty, friendly self again.

Robson Green was in a play with my sixth form drama teacher - he came to the last night of the sixth form production of Equus and when we all went out for a cheap meal after came with us, was bloody delightful and paid our booze bill before he left without telling us. The drama teacher - also lovely - was Ralph Ineson.

Wow, that really surprises me, I'd have had her pegged as a difficult diva! Just goes to show you can never tell.

I hate the nastiness on these threads. I Shouldn’t have looked.

I thought they meant Cali in Columbia, like the Cali Cartel (have been watching "Narcos" recently) and was trying to think of famous drug dealers installed H &M.

I've been an extra on film sets and seen some household names up close and in work mode. Some are absolutely lovely. Some are utter arses. You can tell their personality by the way they interact with the "little people" like the extras, the wardrobe tech, the runners.

Why am I not surprised.
I paid good money to see Van Morrison in concert in Dublin and he didn’t interact with the audience once.

Now Bruce Springsteen on the other hand - at a concert in Ireland last year and his first song was a tribute to Sinéad O’ Connor. How lovely was that ❤️

My boyfriend worked with Martin Compston on an episode of Silent Witness and says he was lovely, they had a good chat and there's even a photo of them deep in conversation!

My dad is a doctor and was called out to see Mel Gibson when he was working on Braveheart many, many years ago. My dad had a keyring at the time which had a pic of myself and my sister. Mel noticed it and asked Dad if we'd like to come and watch some filming.
We ended up joining him on set and he was so lovely. He called us over as soon as he saw us, gave us directors' chairs alongside his and let us watch what had just been filmed, asking us our opinions etc. I was about 9. I didn't really know him from films but just loved spending time with such a lovely, friendly, fun guy.

Thank you!

and you make a fair point about her…

My cousin worked in a hotel in a small town and anyone who was anyone stayed there whilst in the area.
A house nearby was used for filming and at different times, Diana Rigg and Edward Fox stayed. Both were very nice, Edward Fox was friendly to everyone and always quick to open doors for staff. Diana Rigg he said was very nice and ordinary and also absolutely beautiful.
The guests he dreaded were professional footballers as most of them thought the sun shone out of their own backsides.

That’s three votes for Tony Benn on this thread already! 😊

Aw that’s disappointing, she seems so genuinely nice in her cooking shows. I don’t think I’ll pick up any of her packets in Aldi now 😂
