Top 10 Times Entitled Celebs Got HUMBLED

#10: Victoria Beckham Gets a Reality Check

It turns out even Posh Spice isn’t safe from a little domestic fact-checking. While discussing her upbringing on the Netflix docuseries “Beckham,” Victoria Beckham described her family as “working class.” That is, until her husband, soccer legend David Beckham, popped in from off-screen to call her out. After some reluctant back-and-forth, Victoria eventually revealed that her dad used to drive her to school in a Rolls Royce. The clip instantly went viral, with fans praising David for keeping it real. Yep, the unscripted moment peeled back the curtain on celebrity self-mythologizing - and gave us a good laugh in the process.

#9: No Hug for Kesha

You know a celebrity’s ego has been checked when they are the ones getting refused for a hug. You see, during a 2017 red-carpet interview, pop star Kesha rushed toward superstar comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Fangirling to the max, Kesha was quick to ask for an embrace. Seinfeld, however, dodged her not once, not twice, but three times. Kesha awkwardly walked away while Seinfeld smiled at reporters, completely unfazed and ultimately unaware of who she was. The internet couldn’t get enough of the cringeworthy yet hilarious exchange. It was a reminder that fame doesn’t always open every door, and sometimes, that includes hugs.

#8: Kanye West Escorted Out of Skechers HQ

In October of 2022, just days after Adidas cut ties with Kanye West over antisemitic remarks, Ye reportedly showed up unannounced at Skechers’ Los Angeles HQ. With cameras rolling, the music artist was hoping to spark a meeting. But, instead of a deal, Kanye got the boot. Executives had him escorted off the premises and promptly released a statement clarifying he wasn’t invited. They explicitly stated that Skechers had “no intention of working with him.” The optics were brutal - one of the industry’s biggest names literally walked out of a sneaker company. It also served as a reminder that even billionaires can’t swagger past consequences.

#7: Elon Musk Booed at a Dave Chappelle Comedy Show

When Elon Musk walked onto a San Francisco stage during Dave Chappelle’s 2022 comedy show, he probably expected a warm welcome. What did he get instead? That would be a wall of sustained boos. Unfortunately for Musk, he had just made major headlines for his controversial takeover of Twitter and subsequent layoffs. Chappelle tried to smooth things over with jokes like, “It sounds like some of those people you fired are in the audience.” As for Musk, he managed a sheepish grin and a few short comments before retreating. The moment went viral, cementing it as one of Musk’s most merciless audience roastings.

#6: Justin Bieber’s Monkey Gets Confiscated

Justin Bieber likely thought touring the world with a pet monkey was the ultimate flex. However, customs officials had other ideas. In 2013, while on tour, Bieber brought his capuchin monkey Mally into Germany without proper paperwork. Authorities confiscated the animal on the spot. And, after the singer failed to produce the required documents, Mally was permanently rehomed at a wildlife park. The incident became a PR nightmare, sparking outrage over Bieber’s treatment of exotic animals. Losing his pet to German customs was a rude awakening that global pop star fame doesn’t equal global immunity.

#5: Elderly Man Withstands Punch from Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor might be one of the fiercest fighters in UFC history, but in this round, he picked the wrong opponent – an older man in a pub. Yep, in 2019, security footage showed McGregor offering his whiskey brand to a patron in a Dublin bar. When he refused, McGregor shockingly punched him in the face. However, the local man barely reacted and seemingly went back to drinking. While the internet exploded - mocking McGregor’s “weakest hit yet” - he was fined €1,000 and forced to publicly apologize. The viral moment showed the mixed martial artist that respect, unlike titles, can’t always be won by force.

#4: Shia LaBeouf’s “New Low” Caught on Bodycam

If there’s ever been a celebrity meltdown caught in HD, this was it. In 2017, police bodycam footage from Savannah, Georgia, captured an intoxicated Shia LaBeouf hurling insults and shouting at officers after being arrested for public intoxication. He could be heard berating officers - even threatening their jobs. The whole uncomfortable situation gave off “I’m important and you’re not” vibes. Once the video was released, LaBeouf called it his lowest point - apologizing and seeking treatment. The clip showed just how far some stars can fall when ego, substance abuse, and a camera collide.

#3: Justin Timberlake’s Arrest is a Bitter Twist of Irony

Back in 2007, Justin Timberlake accepted a BRIT Award and used his pre-recorded speech to throw some thinly veiled shade - warning a certain someone to “stop drinking” before they “get sloppy.” He didn’t name names, but everyone assumed it was aimed at his ex, Britney Spears. Fast forward to June 18, 2024, and that clip suddenly aged like milk. In the early hours of the morning in the Hamptons, Timberlake was arrested for driving while intoxicated. The singer reportedly told officers he’d had “just one martini” - but refused three chemical tests. By the next day, his mugshot was everywhere, and the internet was serving up some serious poetic justice.

#2: James Corden’s Restaurant Drama

For the king of “Carpool Karaoke” and charm, this James Corden scandal hit a sour note - showing that the act doesn’t always match the man. In 2022, the former “Late Late Show” host was banned from New York’s famous Balthazar restaurant after owner Keith McNally accused him of being “extremely nasty” to servers over an order gone wrong. McNally even blasted him publicly on Instagram, calling him the “most abusive customer” in the restaurant’s history. Corden eventually apologized on his network talk show, but the damage stuck. The internet seemingly turned on him, making it a career-worst moment for the British comedian.

#1: Reese Witherspoon’s Failed “Do You Know Who I Am?” Attempt

In 2013, America’s sweetheart had a sour run-in with the law that proved the “celebrity card” doesn’t always play. You see, Reese Witherspoon was riding with her then-husband, Jim Toth, when he was pulled over in Atlanta for suspected DUI. Reese reportedly got out of the car - against police instructions - and dropped the infamous line: “Do you know my name?” followed by the even worse, “You’re about to find out who I am.” Witherspoon later called the incident “deeply embarrassing,” but the moment stands as a perfect reminder that even Hollywood royalty isn’t above the law - not even Elle Woods herself.
