1.Adam Levine

“The worst celeb I’ve met was Adam Levine while living in NYC. I didn’t even do anything but give him a smile at a restaurant. He gave me a dirty look, but I just thought he already had so many people approaching him. I just stayed in my seat to be mindful of that. He ended up being very arrogant, unprofessional, disrespectful, and rude to the waiters and staff. He was yelling at waiters for petty issues. He was a total ‘Karen.'”

2.Dennis Rodman

“My husband and his friend met Dennis Rodman at a nightclub once. He hung out with them most of the night, ordering expensive bottles. Next thing you know, Dennis ‘went to the bathroom’ and never returned. My husband and his friend got the bill, but they didn’t have that kind of money. They explained that they weren’t the ones who ordered all that stuff. They ended up getting kicked out of the club, and the friend was actually there because his place of business had some kind of deal with the club. He got fired from his job because of the incident.”

3.An Olsen twin

“I was out for a birthday with about eight people, and one of the Olsen twins was there (I have no idea which one). She was at the counter with one of her handlers/bodyguards. We were all talking about her and her twin. We weren’t yelling — just talking. Her bodyguard approached us and asked us to stop looking at her. We were aghast that she had her bodyguard come over to us to tell us to stop looking at her. We were all taken aback and ignored her, but we were pissed. Looking back, I can think of all kinds of things we might’ve said. But I don’t like that Olsen twin anymore (whichever twin it was). That experience has left a permanent bad taste in my mouth.”

4.David Cross

“David Cross is the biggest jerk I have worked with by far. He’s the only person I’ve worked closely with who I would describe as a ‘monster.’ Absolutely harsh and mean to everyone around him — really mean to the crew. When he feels like being nice and ‘normal’ he can pull that off, but otherwise, he seems like he wants to destroy you for no reason. He will openly mock you while you try to do your job. He’s extremely in front of the scenes.”

5.Katharine McPhee

“I met Katharine McPhee andDavid Fosteronce. As a fan ofThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsand power ballads [Foster has written], I know their work pretty well. I was standing right next to them at an event. I said a quick hello, and Katharine was awful, and David was lovely. She just scowled at me. David said hi, how are you, and we chatted for like a moment. Then he said he hoped I’d enjoy the event.”

6.Andrew Liner

“The rudest celeb I’ve met is Andrew Liner. I was on a TV show with him, and while I was talking to my friends, he cut me off, started talking to them, and completely ignored me (as if he was above me). My friends were so confused about why, but I guess he didn’t like me. He would bump into me on purpose and didn’t even say excuse me. He’s a pretty smug and arrogant dude.”

7.Jewel

“At the height of Jewel’s singing career, my friends and I won tickets to her soundcheck before the show. We were so excited, but that excitement quickly turned into major disappointment. A group of roughly 10 of us were watching her warm up for several minutes. After a while, she said, ‘I was told I had to say hi to you guys.’ I was ‘told???’ Like, WTF? She was never the same in my eyes after that.”

8.William Shatner

“William Shatner said he would give me an autograph inHawaiiwhen I was about 10 years old. He said, ‘Let me get a pen,’ got in his limo, and then drove off.”

9.Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino

10.Coby Dick from Papa Roach

“I was 18 and made it backstage to Ozzfest in 2001. It was a dream come true, and I was lucky enough to sneak in a disposable camera! I met and took pictures with several musicians — everyone was extremely nice. But Coby Dick from Papa Roach was, well, a dick. Even his picture with me shows disgust in his face. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I was a pretty girl with long hair and a crop top, so everyone was flirty and very welcoming.”

11.Bill Clinton

“My wife worked at a hotel for many years and metliterallyevery major celebrity you can think of. She said Snoop Dogg was the coolest person she ever met, but Bill Clinton was the biggest jerk. My wife was walking outside back into the hotel, saw Bill, and stared until she smashed herself in the face with a tree branch. Bill started laughing so hard that he was having a hard time standing. The Secret Service ran over to help her, and Bill, laughing so hard he could barely talk, told them to leave her because they had to keep walking.”

12.And John Mayer

“EASILY John Mayer — I met him at an awards show over 10 years ago, and he wouldnotstop quoting a sexist joke fromSouth Park. Everybody around him just laughed awkwardly — every word out of his mouth was a mean and sarcastic joke I was supposed to find funny, but ultimately didn’t. I distinctly remember he made another joke that was really off-putting, and I was like, ‘Dude…’ and he responded with, ‘Oh, come on — don’t be a butthead.’ He called me a butthead because I didn’t laugh at his cruel joke.”
