“I Can’t Emphasize Enough How Filthy Some Of These People Are”: 39 Hollywood Secrets People Have Learned From Working With Celebs
[ad_1]
27.
“I worked for the first time with a major A-List talent many years ago when I was first starting out. They (trying to remain gender neutral so as not to give too much away) have quite the reputation for being phenomenally talented but also rude, abrasive, and arrogant.”
“Going in, I knew that I had to tread carefully around them because of their reputation, but I was a little surprised by how not rude they were. … Because they were rather friendly with me from the get-go, I didn’t have to walk around on eggshells while interacting with them and could be myself. Also, I’m generally not the kind of person who ever asks for pictures, autographs, etc., so that helped.
A couple weeks in, we had a quiet moment together, and they broke down in front of me. At first, I thought to myself, ‘Oh shit, I’m fucked,’ but those were tears of joy. I was the first person in a long time to have treated them like a normal person and not as some diva or someone who should be placed on a pedestal.
They opened up about the fact that they enjoyed acting as an art form but hated much of the pageantry and attention they got as a celebrity and much of their abrasive personality came from years of being exploited by people who they assumed to be friends and feeling like a ‘zoo animal’ whenever they were out and about with people treating them like they were the latest attraction to see and forgetting that there was an actual person underneath.
Are there some genuinely horrible people in Hollywood entertainment, etc? Absolutely. But it also taught me not to always judge a book by its cover, and a lot of times when famous people come across as abrasive, it’s a bit of a defense mechanism.”

[ad_1]
A while back, we shared stories from service workers who waited on famous people and revealed how much they got tipped. Well, even more readers shared their own celebrity tip experiences and I’m stunned by some of these. Here are those stories:
Some submissions are from this Reddit thread because they’re just too good not to include. The people who shared their stories allegedly speak from personal encounters. Obviously, we can’t verify these stories, so feel free to take them with a grain of salt.

People Are NOT Holding Back After Donald Trump Suggested He May Skip The Presidential Debate

“One of the reasons he wanted a Sept. 4 debate was so the conversation would shift from the DNC convention. That’s even more important for him now since the DNC convention blew his convention out of the water. Better speakers, better energy, better content, better celebrities. More important to him, better ratings.”
“The GOP members who endorsed Harris last week was icing on the cake. By saying he won’t appear next week, he’s trying to swing the conversation back to the debate. Unfortunately for him, it’s not about hyping the debate later this week; it’s going to be about him chickening out of the Sept. 10 debate.
I say he’ll show up Sept. 10. Harris already said she would regardless, and he will be branded as a coward if he doesn’t. This is a show to get attention in the press.”

13 Actors Who Are Not American, Even If Their Accents Convince You Otherwise

“My husband and I watched Yellowjackets, and he was shocked when I told him Melanie Lynskey was a Kiwi. I loved the film Heavenly Creatures as a teenager (and still do!) and that was her very first acting gig with her original accent very apparent. It was strange to hear her play an American, but she does it very well.”

People Are Sharing The Stuff Rich People Say That Is Total BS, And I Am Fuming Right Now

“When rich businessmen/entrepreneurs claim that not paying their fair share of taxes helps them invest in their community and provide jobs. Everyone should pay PERIOD.”
“Bezos isn’t making Amazon if poor people don’t fund the building of roads and bridges for him to deliver packages. Or if we didn’t build the internet for him to sell those packages. Or if we didn’t fund public education to train an able workforce to build the company for him. Or if we didn’t pay police officers to stop people from punking him out of his inheritance.
The rich benefit disproportionately from what taxes fund, and they should be made to pay disproportionately into the tax base when they get richer. Not to ‘punish’ their success, but to enable it.”
“‘If you cut corporate taxes they will hire more people.’ Never works. Why hire more people than you need?”
“The wealthy are already spending what they want to spend. You only need so many houses, cars etc…Giving more money to the wealthy in the form of tax cuts, subsidies etc., only causes an increase in wealth disparity, as we’ve seen happening since about 1980.
Same with corporations. Big corporations are already at a point of equilibrium regarding meeting the demand of their customers. Giving more money to big corporations isn’t going to cause them to expand and/or increase compensation to their employees (lol, who ever fucking believed they would do that?) They’ll increase pay to the owners/investors/shareholders etc. They’ll manipulate the market to their advantage via stock buybacks which were made legal right around the time Reagan had begun implementing his ‘trickle down’ economic policies. I’m sure that was just a coincidence tho, right?”
