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.

Not everyone responds to grief in the same way.
It’s not ideal if he goes round being grumpy but that is the way some people respond to emotional pain.
He did adopt Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence daughter and gave her a loving home with her sisters so he’s not all
bad…

Wow, you must be very old - even if you were a baby as well!!

Lewis Hamilton has always given off twat vibes, no surprise there.

Steve Bartlett is also obviously a fraud in business terms. All he cares about is his podcast and you can tell from his malapropisms and general lack of intellect that he’s a talk. He makes out like he treats his staff well though?

@FishOnTheTrain is it JHC she’s got a terrible reputation

I’m DESPERATE to know who this was. Any clues? Has she also been on Modern Wisdom?

I've met Francis Barber. Lovely lady, and a complete laugh

Ooh Christopher Timothy’s elderly mother lived very near to my DPs, my DM used to chat to her and his DM admitted that he never visited her, she used to get upset about it but gave him excuses. By complete coincidence, he went to a friend’s cafe (completely different county) and apparently his behaviour was vile, very rude and entitled and horrible to someone who asked for his autograph.

I'm so glad - but not the tiniest bit surprised - to hear people's lovely memories of Tony Benn.

What a truly delightful, genuine, honest, principled person he was - a real rarity in politics.

Not in the U.K. so any guesses are wrong! lips are sealed even though I’d love to out this dreadful woman

No! But someone I knew knows her pretty well. And she is awful

My aunt was a receptionist for a well known at the time hairstylist. Mr teasy weasy,who invented the kiss curl. He was very lovely apparently.

I worked for an ex prime minister, they were absolutely horrid, obnoxious and thought everyone was beneath them, it was a truly awful experience. There was so much security, it was mind boggling, police with guns on the gate. I could say loads more, but worry it would be outing.

I was once at a dinner where David Starkey was the guest speaker. He was late because security didn’t recognise him. He waited politely and was very pleasant and unflustered when he arrived.

Im not surprised she comes across as an egotistical twat. What's with the posh accent and only wearing white?

@FishOnTheTrain absolutely vile he was lovely before getting with her now totally pussy whipped

My friend was housekeeper for Sheila Ferguson for a few years. Said she was lovely, as was her husband. They stayed in touch for a while after my friend left the job.

So weird because most of the many, many women I’ve known and worked with have been really nice.
maybe it says something about you, @Kellybonita

I did voluntary work and had a three day job with a nice bloke who told me he managed a Sports Centre in the city. When we were in the ‘common room’ at lunch break I noticed some other colleagues fawning over him so asked someone I knew well why; he told me the guy was an international football ref. I think he rather liked working with someone who didn’t know 😉

I love the old TV programmes of Fanny Craddock I don't know why but I find them hilarious.

Alan Titchmarsh.. didn’t report into him but worked alongside him multiple times. I was young at the time, early 20’s and lost count of the inappropriate comments he made 🫥

Tony Benn fans! What a lovely man, his only request for taking part in the programme we were making was he would like plenty of tea.
He was such a delightful person, and so interested and kind to everyone around the studio. Lovely Lovely man.

My dh met Helen Mirren once in a lift at work and still hasn’t completely recovered.

Oh also David Suchet but he was a genuinely lovely man.

Lady Stansgate, Tony Benn's mother, worked with my father on a charity committee and was just like her son in kindness and sincerity.

Bob geldof’s daughter died of an accidental heroin overdose in 2014. My son died of an accidental heroin overdose in 2016.
of course it hurts, I think of my son every hour of everyday. So many things trigger memories of him. But, do you know what, my son would want me, and the rest of our family to be happy. He really would. So we are.

Feck off
