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.

Her being a severe drug addict probably didn't help her mood

I've met Davis Starkey a few times and he was always very polite and quite charming, however having witnessed the way he spoke to another (younger, female) academic and his racist comments since, I'm pleased about his cancellation. Charm often hides misogyny and racism.

Marcus Wareing (celebrity chef) and he and his wife were bloody lovely ;-) ….

No actual way!!! That's deadly! I never met him but as a student I served Debbie & Chris in a vintage shop on St. Georges Street here in Dublin, they were playing in The Olympia just few doors down over that weekend

Not me but same shop, Joe Strummer walked by while my other colleague was outside having a smoke & they got chatting & he put her & her boyfriend's names down on the door (The Olympia again) needless to say I was raging 😆

Also Paul Weller, David Gray & others

@CruisingDuckI work in a similar world and rich car dudes are the absolute worst.

I think the reason is obvious. It’s a reassurance to everyone that aspires to look like a celebrity to say that even celebrities in the wild don’t look like that.

And me!

Did you see David Starkey spoke with Andrew Gold the other week?

Ditto to yours. If you don't like what someone posts, then skip it.

19 year old me was doing a temp job for a film company based in Soho - I was asked to go down to reception collect a guest and bring them up - lift doors opened and there was stood David Bowie in his just pre Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence period , utterly charming, no entourage and drop dead beautiful!

I spent the entire lift journey back up trying really hard to concentrate on what he was saying and not just scream in his face "I love you and want your babies"

Ooh this is interesting! I always thought he was a bit "soft lad", interesting he's an absolute a**. Have got a soft spot for his teammate and principle though!

Oh my GOD!!!!! How did you cope?? What a memory 😍

I know someone who worked for easyJet and KP was a pain in their flights as well, demanding champagne when they done even have any on board.

No....say it isn't so. Claudia is my imaginary best friend!

Government ministers in the 80s

@ThePoshUns "it's Easyjet love, we might have some Asti?"

The one who called herself Dr xx xxx even though she wasn't an MD but then did get herself some kind of PhD from somewhere not very prestigious?

I used to be a talent agent, lots of big Hollywood names. My experience is that all celebrities are a bit weird just by virtue of living so far outside normal life.

As Matthew perry said, he thought that becoming famous would make him happy.

It didn't. He still had all of the same problems. Low self esteem anxiety addiction

Oh thank god. I love him but live in fear he's a monster in real life!

Taylor swift, super nice. I was expecting the worst but she talked to me for at least 15 minutes between shoots. She kept coming back saying " I was just thinking about what you said" and carried on the conversation. She gives you a lot of attention and looks you right in the eye when talking so made me feel a little on edge 😂. She seems incredibly intelligent as does her publicist. Can't remember her name but she was fab!

I think Taylor must genuinely be a nice person because you just NEVER hear people saying bad things. OR, she's a total bitch with the complete ability to mask and hide it ALL the time (I'm going for option 1).

Not the same, but I'm reminded of an event or a news article or something I read about with Richard Branson. He was opening some community center/school/clinic or something that he'd funded in South Africa and he said something like, "Well, I met Nelson Mandela at [wherever] and of course, he just casually dropped into conversatino that you really really needed this [clinic/school/whatever]. And asking around, it seems I'm not the only person who, when Madiba asks for something, finds themselves just saying "yes" instantly."

It made me laugh becuase stories like that about Nelson Mandela were rife. If you met him and you had money or a skill or something, there was a good chance you'd find yourself co-opted! Apparently his charm was off the scale! I just remembered that my brother met him once - he was out running early and more or less ran into him having his morning walk when he was president. After they'd all picked themselves up apparently he shook my brother's hand, they all had a nice chat and my brother left... feeling grateful the 3 security guys hadn't jumped him!

Why would your ex-wife dying 25 years ago mean you need to argue with a shop assistant that you should get a £2 book for £1 in a charity shop despite being a millionaire?

Many of us have gone through grief and tragedy in our life, it doesn't give us a free pass to be continually rude to strangers decades on.

I worked on some live shows for Whitney Houston before she went downhill. She kept very much to herself with a small close entourage, one of whom was rumoured to be her girlfriend. No outrageous demands and the entourage were also friendly.

It was a shame to watch her downward spiral.

This doesn’t shock me one bit.. he does come across as fairly arrogant, and that’s just on the TV

Anyone ever met Stacey she seems lovely on Loose Women

What about his daughter? She died more recently of a drugs overdose. You left that one out.

Losing your child is meant to be the strongest grief anyone can go through.

I know someone who's son killed himself. I've never seen her smile since it happened.

I can understand why Bob geldof is grumpy.
