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.

A lot of famous people are like this because they live in a bubble where everyone says yes to them all the time and it creates an echo chamber where they are utterly detached from reality.

Also gutted to here that Claudia isn't as nice as I'd hoped she was.

Does anyone think that getting a bad first impression of a famous person ie they are having a shit day, feeling crap with period pains, got a thumping headache etc (which noone else would know about) and snaps at an innocent bystander/member of staff/fan will then make you less likely to think well of them in the future?
Having seen loads of interviews with James Corden and Ruth Jones recently I don't want either of them to be unpleasant in real life!! however JC does have small, close set eyes and thin lips which my mother always told me was a sure sign of bad temper in a person

🤣🤣🤣

The glucose woman?

the british Martha Stewart, or someone else?

I was Gabby Logans mums cleaning lady many years ago. She was a fabulous woman but I found Gabby very boring.
I met a lot of sports personalities and felt very valued, we kept her (enormous) house beautifully clean

I've dealt with a few over the years.

Martin Clunes- Absolutely lovely guy. Dry sense of humour, very sarcastic but very down to earth and loves his animals.
Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall- Both absolutely lovely. Heavily involved in helping out their "staff" and anyone else who needs it. A right laugh in social situations.
Katie Price- As you'd expect. Complete diva, detached from reality.
Jodie Kidd- Pretty low key and low maintenance. Got what needed to be done done. Very professional!

Knew someone who worked for Princess Diana in Sandringham (obviously) many years back. Didn't have anything good to say about her at all.

British Martha Stewart my arse, unless Jackson has been arrested for fraud?

Sadly I agree. It seems the world will tolerate awful behaviour from someone who has talent. Prince treated several members of his band terribly, including the lovely Bono Boyer. He even ended up falling out with his brother. Following his death some of those musicians (not Sheila E) are making money from the relationship though the truth is Prince had nothing to do with them once they fell out.

I think Sheila E (who is lovely ) may be the only person he never fell out with?

Does anyone have a good word to say about Van Morrison?

One of my relatives has had dealings with Ed Sheeran and also said he was lovely. Also Dizzy Rascal too!

Oh that makes me sad, as my late friend loved (who I think you’re talking about) and it’s sad if she’s not really as she seems 😞

I keep editing my post as I feel bad posting it online as maybe she had an off day? But it was very…’I’m so much better that you’ and it left me with a lasting impression as it was two years ago.

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked!

So glad to hear about David Starkey. I've always liked him- shame he was cancelled.

I've found it's generally whoever unwittingly makes them feel insecure, and/or someone they realise they can pick on and think they can get others to join in.

I really try to consciously form opinions on people, to look at them from from a behavioural perspective and not because I think they're 'better' than me somehow.

I've found that it reeeeeaaalllly doesn't matter how attractive or physically well-formed or how tall or talented or clever or well-off they are or aren't- a cnt's a cnt, at the end of the day.

My son works in the (US) entertainment industry in a 'professional capacity' and has frequent contacts with 'The Famous', from A to Z list. I'm not naming names because he constantly reminds me that the stuff he tells me is 'not for public consumption, Mum, not even anonymously'.

But I will say that I've been repeatedly shocked that some of the people I thought would be so lovely are horrible and some of the people I thought would be horrible are so lovely. And that it's pretty amazing the lengths some will go to stroke their own egos. I wouldn't work in that field for a mint.

Have you seen the Steve Coogan song "everyone's a c* sometimes"? If you've only met somebody once, it's worth bearing that sentiment in mind before telling everyone you meet about how unpleasant they were. Unless they've done something really bad, of course, like shoot a womble.

Someone always pops on a thread to say that, whenever anyone dares to mention that women can be cruel.

I'm 40 . I've worked in many different jobs. In many different places.

The women have been the same in every job. I've seen groups of women gang up on , amd bully some woman in every job I've been in.

The female managers have always been worse than the men.

In my opinion, the bad side of men is they can be physically and sexually destructive.

The bad side of women is that women can be emotionally destructive. You never see men isolate and bully a man in the workplace I've seen women do it so so so many times.

Have you seen his channel? David Starkey Talks. It's on YouTube, though he also has his own site. I subscribe to him. He really does come across as a genuinely warm person.

I didn’t mean the legal misdeeds, just checking you meant laura jackson the lifestyle guru/influencer?

Caroline? Because if it is, you’re about the 5th person to say this about her.

Tony Benn once apologised to me when I found him sitting in my seat in a theatre having a quick chat with a friend sat in the next one.

He said he wouldn't be a minute. I said it was ok, it was unlikely to start while he was there, as what I had gone to see was an Audience with Tony Benn.

I know which is why I feel really bad. But also, when a colleague is really upset about how they’ve been repeatedly treated by that person it’s hard to say ‘they just had a bad day’.

I’ll get my post deleted though as I’m uneasy about it all as it was just one day.
