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.

Gave a lady from Hollyoaks a few horse riding lessons year's ago when working as an instructor, she had a footballer partner,I had no idea who they were at first but seemed nice people

I had an appointment at the opticians yesterday, really nice lady told me she was an extra, and to look out for her in the next few weeks, coming out of McClunkies in Eastenders, that's the nearest claim!

She’s lovely

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you 😀

I've known John Edwards, Quo's bass player for 40-odd years. Before he was in Quo, and he's one of the loveliest men alive.

I'm getting a sense from this thread that hardly anyone has heard of Poundbury. Look it up and you will see why the real @KingOfPoundbury would have known Queen Elizabeth II about as well as anyone in the world. (I do somehow suspect the poster of that name isn't the real one - but then again, who knows? Anybody can be anybody on the internet ...)

I have worked for women over the years and after the last one I vowed never again. I would 100% rather work for a man rather than a woman.

I realise this is an awful generalisation, and I'm sure there are some lovely woman out there with staff members under them but it's not been good for me.
I have also worked with female colleagues and male colleagues and again would 100% rather work with men
I just cannot deal with the drama, nastiness, back stabbing and bitching that I have witnessed women do to each other at work, so God only knows what they are like if they are "famous".

I have worked for someone famous. A local celebrity who was stopped all the time when we were out and about. A really lovely guy. Always had to be conscious in public not to do something embarrassing or unkind. But also like that in private too. As nice to staff as to the general public. An all round nice guy.

In an industry where people are famous for being arseholes I definitely got a good boss!

Daniela Nardini?

I mean viscountess rothermere, she is married to lady rothermeres son

I have a few celebrity clients and honestly all have been really lovely. I didn’t even realise one of them was famous until I happened to see him on tv.

Years ago I was an aspiring author and I emailed Louise Mensch who wrote under her maiden name Louise Bagshawe for advice and tips. She wrote back a couple of times at least and was super kind and lovely

I work in Events and come across many known people and celebrities. One of the weirdest instruction was being told that we were not allowed to look at Hilary Clinton!

I looked after Mel when he was a guest on a chat show I worked on. First time was for his first Mad Max, second time when he did Yr of L D. Absolutely lovely but super shy. Blushed a lot. I've always blamed the drinking issue on his shyness.

Met Lewis Capaldi in a service station near La Mans a few years ago. My daughter said hello to her he was very welcoming. I had no clue until she said the name of his song at the time. He let us take a picture with her one year old. Glad he’s on his way back to health.
He gave me a hug as I knew the song but not him. Notice he had a ham and salad baguette to go.

My DH had a facilities company with many A lister stars best ever was Pierce Bronsan + Julie Walter’s totally lovely people to him. Spend a great deal of time on set with our family, never forget it.
Rupert Grint was an entitled brat as was his father, JKR was so lovely to him wish I’d met her, my hero with all women’s rights even way back then.
Robbie Coltrane was not well and had good and bad days on set.
Blythe Duff was a true star no airs or graces so down to earth.
Many more for another day.

My parents lived next door to Roger Moores parents, shooters Hill area he gave me a lift to work on a few occasions when he was staying at his parents on a visit this was around 1966 so awhile ago
I worked at a nearby hospital which his mother was a patient who I cared for whilst on duty, very nice family.

Yeah I was surprised no-one seemed to really pick up on that. I imagine the poster was hoping for a bit more response.

Best by far was Tina Turner, a true-ly genuine person. I won't mention the worst!

So glad to hear that she was better than anyone (anyone you've ever met)!

I got it - hence my cheeky response, deliberately 'misconstrueing' that the poster had known the Queen when she (HM) had been a baby, rather than, say, the poster being a baby when HM was 60 years old!

I was also hoping for some comeback banter!!

Isn’t he well-known for making racist remarks?

Russell Crowe presumably
That he can be a bit of an intense a-hole at times is no news.

At a children's event years ago when a well known kids entertainer appears. Full costume. Glitter everywhere.
He stares at me intensely and says, “Have you been good?” Naturally, I panic and say, “I don't know anymore.”
Then he pulls a kazoo from his pocket, blows it solemnly, and whispers, “That was the sound of judgment.
Before I could respond, he challenged me to a game of musical chairs. No music, just chairs, I say no. He glared at me and shouted, “You’ve dishonored the tumble!”

really weird moment in my life

Seems to have mellowed with age though

No.

I don’t want to be too outing but I once worked for a family as a job role where an earlier job role was murdered. I’ll probably be murdered now but hopefully not…very very very famous case.
