8 Celbrities Who Have Absolutely Terrible Reputations.

By Michael Avery in Entertainment On 5th October 2017

They say that you shouldn’t meet your idols and, for eight of these celebrities, that’s totally true! While they might put on a good face for publicity and to keep getting gigs and earning the big bucks, eight of the celebs on this list are known for being major league jerks! Owing to an inflated ego, too much cash, a bad attitude, and blatant ungratefulness for the people who got them to where they are today, those eight celebrities are without a doubt horrible!

Jennifer Lopez

Look, when you’ve made a living and a name for yourself as a triple threat, you’re bound to have some diva behaviors, and unfortunately for Jennifer Lopez, it’s made her a pain to work with and a prickly celebrity for fans to interact with. While nice guy Keanu Reeves loves talking to “normal people”, Jennifer will only interact with those she considers beneath her through her assistant. Despite spending time at a five-star luxury hotel, Jennifer will send along a rider insisting on various demands, including but not limited to two humidifiers, two oscillating fans, white or red roses, and plain M&Ms. Oh, and did we mention that she’s made a staffer cry on set and got a maid fired? The former was during a tour when clearly Miss Lopez didn’t enjoy the work being done and had a few choice words for the woman, and the second was after a maid had tried to get an autograph after she’d cleaned the star’s room from top to bottom. She didn’t get the autograph, and J.Lo had her fired the very next day.

Jonah Hill

Unlike funny guy Jack Black, Jonah Hill has earned himself a reputation for being a jerk, so much so that he was even teased about becoming a d-bag in the film This Is The End. While Jonah has a host of goofy roles under his belt – indeed, they’re what put him on the map – it was after his Academy Award-nominated stint opposite Brad Pitt in Moneyball that his ego really inflated and made him a major jerk! Now, claiming to be a “serious actor”, Jonah refuses to deal with any inane interview questions (which we can understand), but he also comes across as a jerk when compared to all the other chill comedians he used to call friends. He’s been known to lash out at paparazzi and rather than take photos with fans or provide an autograph, he instead opts to hand out business cards that simply read, “I just met Jonah Hill.” Er, thanks?

Justin Bieber

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that Justin Bieber is a jerk – he’s made it well-known throughout his career! After growing up and getting way too much cash too fast, Justin went into a downward spiral that saw him get arrested, trash his car, egging a neighbor’s home, spit on his fans, refuse to play concerts, and more. His hatred of his fans is pretty intense, especially considering so many of them are younger girls who idolize the pop star. One such example was when he reportedly called a fan who approached him in a bikini a “beached whale” and suggested she try to become a contestant on The Biggest Loser! We’ve also recently seen his elaborate rider for a short stint in India while on tour, which included such lavish requests as a Jacuzzi, a “yoga casket” filled with essential oils and incense, and gourmet meals – named after his most popular songs, naturally.

Ariana Grande

Well, what did you expect when you combine a powerful voice with a pint-sized diva? Someone not so nice, that’s what! Ariana Grande has a well-deserved reputation for being a big B-word, beginning with her treatment of her fans. Upon heading backstage after forcing her way through smiles during a meet-and-greet, Ariana was overheard to have said that all the people who paid money to see her should just “f***ing die” – and it doesn’t stop there. Upon meeting the singer, two young girls took a photo with her and asked to keep it, but Ariana was having none of it and ordered one of her security team to delete it. Supporting acts have called the little girl with the big voice “stuck up” and “disrespectful”, and she solidified what she thinks of the entire country she calls home after being recorded saying, “I hate Americans. I hate America.” (This was in the same tape where she was seen licking doughnuts in a shop’s case if you were wondering.)

Carrie Underwood

Chris Pratt was the guy who has held onto his country roots but Carrie Underwood, not so much. Despite trying to position herself as America’s Sweetheart, with cowboy boots and big blonde hair, the singer has been reported by fans and staffers to be rude, arrogant, and standoffish. Her public persona is that of the golden girl, but anyone who’s been in a conversation with Carrie knows that that is not the case. Apparently, during the 2010 Country Music Awards, Carrie pushed fellow singer and Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester out on stage to present with the encouraging words, “Get out there and don’t f*** up.” She later shrugged off criticism over her remarks, saying that Meester would “get over it”. Despite her well-publicized mean streak, Carrie decided in 2013 to tweet at critics of her Sound of Music performance, writing, “Mean people need Jesus”. Maybe she should take her own advice?

Tobey Maguire

Don’t be fooled by his boyish looks: Tobey Maguire is a big ol’ jerk! According to one casting agent, Tobey is “the worst little monster you’ve ever met”, and clearly the word has been passed along because when was the last time you saw him in a movie? On film sets, Tobey has been reported to ordering everyone not to look him in the eyes, and even weirdly insisted multiple times – on set and off – that people call him “Tugboat Maguire” or “Tugboat Tobey”. Seriously. Apparently, Tobey has insisted on the name because he is “small but strong”, and got into such a tizzy about it that he threw a fit at the Teen Choice Awards and was forcibly removed by security! Then, in a Vanity Fair interview in 2013, Tobey refused to answer any questions until the interviewer called him by his ‘proper name’, and even fired his publicist mid-interview for apparently not informing the reporter of this requirement! No wonder his wife left him!

Ellen DeGeneres

She may seem like a kind, fun-loving woman with a penchant for breaking out the dorky dance moves, but as it turns out, Ellen DeGeneres is not nearly as nice as she seems. Those who work behind the scenes on Ellen’s daytime talk show have reported that the host is a tyrant, demanding that drinks be a certain temperature and that the air cannot be too hot or too cold. Rumours have also stated that Ellen’s had a controlling hand in wife Portia de Rossi’s career, ordering her to play housewife so that the comedian can be the breadwinner in the relationship. But it’s not just anonymous sources who claim that the affable TV host is really a mean girl in disguise. In 2016, fellow comedian Kathy Griffin revealed that she had been banned from ever appearing on Ellen’s show since 2006 and that she thinks their competing careers are to blame. “Guys in comedy are so good about sticking together,” Griffin said. “I feel sad that women don’t support each other the way the guys do.”

Demi Lovato

She may speak out against bullying, but many people from her past allege that Demi Lovato can be a huge bully herself! There isn’t a Twitter feud she hasn’t backed down from, and more often than not her foot should be placed firmly in her mouth to shut up some of the nasty things she’s said. Even major mean guy Simon Cowell has called his former co-judge mean-spirited and “bitchy”! With her recent foray into body positivity, Demi still seems like a major jerk even though she supposedly preaches self-acceptance. Back in 2016, a teenage artist uploaded a drawing of his to Instagram of the singer as a mermaid, but Demi was less than pleased about her half-fish likeness: “Is that how my boobs should look?” she wrote in the comments. “It’s gorgeous but that’s not my body.” Further to her hypocritical stance, Demi has allegedly called fans “fat” despite her own history with eating disorders, so we’d say she’s definitely on the “not nice” celebrity list!
