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.

So I've now read the whole thread and realised who this is. I have zero ability to figure these things out evidently, still racking my brains to even start to guess on the ones with initials! Please just say their names!!! Some of us are terrible at puzzles 🤣

I worked as a Nanny for a famous couple.
He drove cars she was singer.
I was treated like family.
Horses , holidays the works.
Best bosses ever, and when we went out they became more stern, lots of articles were nasty about they were. Not true.

Ex used to work in TV so worked with a lot of celebs - he always used to say how lovely Kate Moss was, really down to earth, always used to have a cup of tea and a fag with the crew at break times. He said Cheryl Tweedy/Cole was horrible and rude though.

I used to work with her son (the lucky sperm as he is known in the industry) - he's very unpleasant.

Years ago someone I know was in a pub, Danny Dyer was at another table. There was some kind of trouble, IIRC some bloke mouthing off at DD looking for a rise out of him. The chap I know stepped in and sorted the troublemaker out, DD was really grateful and took him out on an all day bender!

@missdeamenor My Aunt used to Nanny for her. She said pretty much the same thing.

I’ve never had a male boss come on to me or make me feel uncomfortable in that way, even though I was very attractive when younger. I’ve had male colleagues do that but never bosses. I just think I’ve been lucky over the years that I got good natured male bosses. The two women worked in the same place, one was a line manager, the other above her. Everyone (male and female colleagues) disliked them, they were too aggressive, too in your face, too petty. I’m not exaggerating to say there would be a tangible lightness in the atmosphere when they were absent. If I got a lovely female boss then that would be great but I can only go on my own personal experience.

My post was in response to a post early on in this thread by @Harpey who said she had worked for a well known mental health guru who was toxic and a narcissist.
But she wasn’t named. Many PPs on here have made posts about famous people and named them, or not named them, or not named them but have given clues - yes, sometimes cryptic clues but usually light-heartedly.
@Harpey had chosen not to name this person, and all I did was start the guessing game as others had started other guessing games. I haven’t had time to read the whole thread yet, but another PP made an amusing guess about this guru, and other PPs found my post amusing. AFAIK you are the only person to complain and of course you have the right to refer to these posts as ridiculous cryptic nonsense.
In that case maybe this isn’t the thread for you and you might be happier not reading it’?

Well, they don't influence me.

Can confirm. He had the same rare illness as me and sent a book about the illness for me to read when I was able. His brother lived on my street when I was growing up. ♥️

Naomi is vile. She used to stay in the same penthouse as P Diddy regularly at my place of work. She used to upset absolutely everyone for no good reason. I’m sure she’s from Croydon. Obviously has forgotten her roots

DDs ex used to work in catering on film sets. He said that Minnie Driver was an absolute nightmare - right up her own arse! Gerard Butler was a lovely and very polite man. Emmy Rossum was the sweetest person ever. Matt Damon was one of the guys, played poker with staff/crew. Johnny Depp was a friendly and funny.

I know what you mean; but some people are a little cautious about potential legal repercussions if they just come out and state the actual name.

If I wrote "Bob Fleming is a terrible arsehole who ate my cat, pooed in my wellies and rewired my TV remote so that the channel buttons all routed to a different channel and the up-volume button turned the volume down", then if Bob read that, I could be sued for libel if I have no hard, undeniable evidence that he did those things.

However, if I said "A well known 90s TV celebrity with a West Country accent, a love of folk music and antique horse brasses, and a neverending violent-sounding distinctive throaty cough", people who were familiar with him would instantly know; but legally speaking, it could be anybody else, so he couldn't sue me! Nor would his name come up in any Google searches that his lawyers might routinely make.

Apologies to anybody out there who actually is called Bob Fleming and is also a terrible arsehole!

Maybe you should have said 'shame he was an awful racist' rather than bemoaning the fact he was cancelled then.

Oh nooo, not GR? That's ruined my day as I've always thought he comes across as lovely 😂

Are MV and LN nice? Not sure why I'm only using the initials haha

Good lord. Have a day off

My friend met Stacey S. It was at some big event and my friend was in the middle of a panic attack. She said Stacey and her team were absolutely lovely and stayed with her a while to make sure she was OK.

Another bizarre comment! I'll leave you to it.

Met Dom once when he was really quite drunk. He started a game of Bogies, but using the C word 😂LOVED him!

Charlotte Crosby is no where near the league of Molly Mae. Also both not married. I’m going to say Sam Faires

No she didn't

He was the first celebrity stylist back in the day

@Angrygirl

I live near Bob Geldof in Faversham and he’s a big supporter of the local area.
He’s often out and about in town and always says hello to local people. He’s not stuck up and doesn’t wander around like he’s better than anyone else.

If you’re talking about the large charity shop I think you are ( as there aren’t many here) then maybe it’s because there’s never room to move in there. People are constantly bumping into things or others it’s just so cluttered.

That’s the area I’m talking about, and those are the stories I’ve been told by multiple family members.

I never actually called him stuck up.

I think people are can have different experiences of a person.

To all the Bob defenders I’m not claiming he has no good days / positive points or that I know him better than anyone else 😂

Family member worked on film sets too and Matt Damon was consistently hers and everyone else's favorite to work with

I know Tim and have worked with him, and I can confirm he is a lovely man. Very humble, always smiley, and doesn’t forget where he’s come from.
