Celebrities provide us with entertainment, but they can also be incredibly annoying. While it’s perfectly natural to celebrate your favorite movie star or singer, it’s also hard to forget that they are living in an incredibly privileged world that most of us can’t even fathom.
On Reddit, folks are sharing the things that annoy them most about celebrities—and I think they’ve got everything covered.
Personally, I hate when celebrities hawk products that you just know they don’t use. Jennifer Garner, I am a fan, but I KNOW Neutrogena is not in your bathroom cabinet! From inherited wealth and privilege to rudeness and entitlement (and sometimes both at the same time) people are expressing what really irks them about celebrities and why.

“Celebrities who were born into families that are already established in the industry need to be more honest with themselves and the world that they were able to make it big because of their last names, it’s not their fault that they were born into the family that they were, but it’s not always what you know it’s who you know and nepotism has played a big part on how a lot of them have made it big, sure they still have to put in some work but it’s less than some random person from a regular family would have to, I think Jamie Lee Curtis was one of very few actors that I heard of that as acknowledged that most of her success comes from the fact that her parents were Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis.” — bodegagirl

“There’s a lot but something recently just happened that made me furious. Ellen and her show is being investigated by their network for having a toxic work environment. Something that former and current employees are coming forward with. Celebrities are now hash tagging ‘#IStandByEllen’ to show her support and some like Katy Perry and Ashton Kutcher are saying, ‘I have always been treated with respect by Ellen. She has showed me nothing but kindness. She’s a great person.’ Ricky Gervais was right when he said these celebrities are so out of touch with the real world.” — videogamejunky

“Their fans. I can understand if you like an actor or musician, but they’re not just gonna see you in the crowd one day and decide to marry you. It’s not gonna happen.” — ThePeopleOnTheCouch

“They don’t annoy me. The fact that we, as a society, worship and shower them with wealth and platforms for their obviously useless opinions on complex issues is what is annoying.” — monoslim

“The way they try to seem relatable. ‘We’re all in this together!’ No the fuck we are not. We’re walking while you’re flying. Stop trying to seem like you’re one of us cause you’re not.” — schmebalydook
