Celebrities are the most influential people on the planet today because they appear to be living the lives all of us want to live someday. They always seem to have more than enough money and therefore spend all their time shopping or hopping from one party to the next, and they seem to yield unquestionable power over other human beings.
Celebs never have to queue to get to an event, since they get in through the VIP entrances, spend their time mingling with other celebs backstage, and only come out either to perform or say hi to the crowds. They walk around with bodyguards and an entourage of other important-looking people, and they always seem to have so much fun all the time.
For some reason, many of us think celebs are the same onscreen as they are out in the streets, which is never the case. Many fans get disappointed when they approach these celebs and realize they are basic human beings like the rest of us, and sometimes their words and actions often convince us we could be better than they are in many ways.
5. BRITNEY SPEARS TREATS MEET-AND-GREET FANS LIKE TRASH
Few female musicians can match the heights Britney Spears has hit during her career since she was once number 11 in the list of 100 Greatest Women in Music published by VH1 in 2012. In the same year, Forbes ranked Spears as the highest paid female musician, which was the second time after topping the list back in 2012, and Billboard claimed she was the 2012's Sexiest Woman in Music.
However, despite all her success, Spears has had some low moments, which include a brief stay in a drug rehabilitation facility and other longer stays in different treatment centers. In addition, she lost custody of her two sons to her ex-husband and at one point even lost her visitation rights.
Britney is on this list because she once treated some of her most loyal fans, who had paid $2500 for a meet-and-greet, like trash. None of these fans were allowed to hug, touch, or even give her any gifts. She only spent a few seconds with each of them, only to smile, take a photo with them, and say goodbye.
4. MEGAN FOX RUDELY REJECTS SWEET 11-YEAR-OLD FAN
Megan Fox has earned a reputation for being one of the hottest female celebrities in Hollywood, and the problem is that she knows it and acts like it. Her role in Transformers as Mikael Banes propelled her to stardom, although she had already made a name for herself in her role in the film Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.
However, since we cannot argue about how beautiful she is, it would make sense if she broke a few hearts along the way, right? The only problem is that she broke the heart of an 11-year-old boy who must have had a massive crush on her when she refused to pick a yellow rose he was giving her. It was so sad when the boy left looking so unhappy, wondering why she didn't just take it. On another occasion, a fan approached her for an autograph but she yelled at her bodyguard to "Get this disgusting creep away from me."
3. ARIANA GRANDE HATES HER OWN FANS
Ariana Grande is the sweetest-looking celebrity of all time, and is one of the most talented female singers today. Children and adults all over the world who love Nickelodeon fell deeper in love with Ariana when she played the role of Cat in the TV series Sam & Cat, which had great ratings.
Fans have viewed her music videos over eight billion times online, and she has won numerous awards, including three AMAs, one MTV VMA, three MTV Europe Music Awards, and many others. Also, just last year, Time recognized Ariana as one of the top 100 most influential people in the world.
With such praise for this beautiful celebrity, it's sad to find her on this list, because it almost feels as if she is too good to be cruel to a fly, let alone human beings who love and adore her. However, one time she was overheard saying she "hoped her fans would all f***ing die," and she once also claimed she hated Americans, right after licking doughnuts without buying them.
2. JUSTIN BIEBER SPITS ON FANS, THREATENS TO BREAK THEIR PHONES & DITCHES HIS CONCERTS HALFWAY
There's no question about how good Justin Bieber's singing is or his ability to influence people, since he was the first musician to surpass the 10 billion video views mark on Vevo.
Bieber has sold over 44.7 million albums and singles in the United States alone, and over 140 million records worldwide, earning him the title of one of the world's best-selling music artists. He is on this list despite having won two AMAs, one Grammy, and Forbes has listed him among the Top 10 Most Powerful Celebrities four times.
Despite his success, Bieber deserves to be on this list for numerous reasons. Bieber has arrived hours late for his own concert, he has unexpectedly walked off stage while performing and even threatened to break a phone one of his fans was using at a concert. He spat on his fans from a balcony, mooned other fans at the Mayan ruins, and done other weird and cruel things to his fans.
1. JARED LETO BEATS FANS OVER THE HEAD WITH A MICROPHONE AT MULTIPLE CONCERTS
Jared Leto has been part of many successful films, including Artifact, Dallas Buyers Club, Suicide Squad, and Blade Runner 2049. Arguably, his performance in Dallas Buyers Club was his best so far, since he won numerous awards for it. Leto is a method actor who remains in character throughout the shooting period, which affects his health severely and frightens the other actors in the process.
Leto is also a talented multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and lead vocalist for a rock band he formed with his older brother called Thirty Seconds to Mars. The band has achieved good success over the years, since they have sold more than 15 million albums around the world.
Leto is on this list because in two different locations when he was performing with his band, he has used a microphone to beat fans on their heads. We can't even explain how crazy this is.
