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.

I have met a few over the decades via my work. The loveliest was Colin Firth. An absolute gentleman.

My aunt worked for British airways throughout the 90's/2000's and was mostly in first or business class.

She said that Katie Price was incredibly rude and demanding, and would just act really confrontational over minor things. This was when she was flying back and forth while trying to make it in America, so my aunt came across her a fair bit. I asked my aunt about Pete and she said she didn't know who he was (she was never really into pop culture) so I guess he didn't make an impact.

She always said the nicest/friendliest was Renee Zellwegger and that Renee/her PA would always buy gifts for the cabin crew. She said Simon Cowell was really nice too and she always thought he was gay (this was of course pre-marriage/kid!).

My work is connected to David Attenborough.
He is as lovely, intelligent and passionate as he seems on camera.

I was the Territorial Army PA for the 6th Duke of Westminster. He was the kindest, most lovely man.

On the beauty point, my old Pilates teacher has a sizeable instagram following (though she’s not an influencer) and the photos she posts look nothing like her. She must edit out lines and wrinkles because she looks at least 10 years younger online but very much her age IRL. She’s beautiful either way, but it taught me to not believe everything I see on instagram.

Is her first name the same as that of a precious red gemstone?
And her surname what you have in your ear?

Asking for a friend..........😉

Seconding this - he came to my birthday party once and he is fab!

I see this in all walks of life. Where I work, the senior, established partners are very polite and thankful for your efforts, but the junior partners and the people just below them trying to make partner are often ghastly to work for. When you’ve ‘made it’ you don’t need to trample on anyone.

I'll look it up-thank you. Such a mammoth knowledge and brain too !

Have worked in and around creative industries for a few years and run into a few famous people

Lovely:
Michael Sheen
Matthew Macfadyen
Steve McQueen (the film director not the actor)
Alicia Vikander
Eddie Redmayne
Tim Burton
Gugu Mbatha-Raw

Horrible:
David Walliams

Is it Molly-Mae? I've read other stories from those working with her who've said similar

OP I hope it’s not Lisa Eldridge?!

Have to watch what wording I use here.....
I work in finance in the motorsport industry (let's leave it there...)
I have met many .... 'participants' in this sport. Worst I have ever met to date, is a current 'participant' for a team who has a principle called after Dorothy's dog in Wizard of Oz (see where I'm going with this?). Anyway, this 'participant' is British... and an absolute nightmare. Clearly never been brought up to treat people with respect, (respect your elders ;) ) and looks down at us mere staff. Once made a comment to a pregnant member of my team and asked her why she was coming back to work, she said she couldn't afford not to, he simply said to her, whilst doing that bloody head tilt, "shame" then sauntered off with his head held high.
Don't get me started on his dodgy GF....

Anyway, I'm still in motorsport, but work elsewhere now where, so far, the more popular 'participants' are very nice and down to Earth.

Valentino Rossi, he's possibly the GOAT in Moto GP, his number is 46

edit, spelling (in my excitement!)

I worked in a coffee shop in Newcastle on a Saturday when I was a teenager in the 80s .Norman Wisdom would come in about once a month when he visited his brother who lived across the road. He always had mince and dumplings, would carry his plate to the kitchen when done and left HUGE tips. Utterly lovely gentleman.

Paul Gascoine would come in once a week as the NUFC training ground was next door. He was surprisingly quiet, very polite and respectful,and again a huge tipper. His diet was absolutely awful though and he smoked like a chimney!

Please tell 😀

To flip this around, the nicest celeb I have ever met is Clem Burke. Met him several times and he is genuinely the nicest man I have ever met. Was gutted when I heard he passed away :(

DH & I sat next to Cilla Black in a bar in Barbados. We chatted for about 10 mins before she & her friends left. She was really was lovely although I did notice her accent was far more refined than it was on her tv persona, at least on that particular evening.

I met David Beckham once, totally randomly, he wasn't 'working' but he was genuinely a lovely person.

I'm working with someone now who used to be in the army.

He told me that he met Prince harry several times.

I asked what he was like . He said "he's an asshole".

Haha. I know you can't really know someone when you bump into them a few times.

I met niall horan once. And in that encounter he was rude and unfriendly . But I still didn't think he was an asshole. I thought he looked stressed and tired the time that I met him

@FishOnTheTrain Does her name start with a J by any chance??

I worked for a while as a PA for a sports agency - the players were great but the girlfriends less so....I left after getting a right screeching from one who wanted a Birkin bag in 48 hours.

Then worked for a sports governing body - all our athletes were lovely apart from one girl who was so up herself. Coincidentally she then tried to climb a mountain with a celeb guide who also completely loves himself. We all cheered when she didn't manage to summit.

Rob Rinder- super nice and just the cleverest man.

Tom Cruise- again lovely. So much time for his fans.

And yet tom cruise is a scientologist.

A religion that is said to have abused many people.

A friend of mine used to work in the music Industry in the 80's with Simon Cowell, she worked with huge names, megastars, some of whom she remains in contact with today.

By far the most unpleasant was Whitney Houston, totally believed her own hype, had hundreds of hangers on on her payroll and was nicknamed Shitney due to her vile nature.
