"She threw away all his CDs that day and has hated him ever since."

"As I saw Jamie Lee Curtis leaving later, I walked up to her and told her how influential Halloween had been for my love of movies, going to film school, and ultimately working in this industry. I had my hand held out to shake hers, and she laughed in my face, did not speak one word to me, and left the party without shaking my hand. I was so bummed, but I laughed it off myself soon after. I no longer work in the film industry, haha."

"Surprisingly, Gerard Butler was awesome. He asked for my name and always said it with sincerity and kindness when he needed anything. Drank Red Bulls all night and left with two beautiful women arm in arm. Right when he was about to hit the exit, he said, 'Where’s my guy?' He looked over at me, yelled my name, wished me a great night, and instructed all the other actors to leave me giant tips since 'You all burn money on wasteful shit.' Hilarious, and I’ll always remember how down-to-earth he was. Wasn’t my hero, but man, I’m stoked he was there that night."

"The shelter in my small town is currently having the biggest drama, so much so that it is literally making the front page of the newspaper. Seems the board was running it into the ground, paying themselves while underpaying employees and leaving a lack of funds left for the animals. Now they're all throwing each other under the bus via social media and letters to the editor."

"I also met him by happenstance. He was a complete jerk, and that’s me being polite."

"Zak Wylde, Ozzy Osbourne's then-guitarist, witnessed the whole thing and pulled me aside. I can’t remember exactly what he said, but something along the lines of 'not everybody is at their best every day,' and that it was no reflection on me. Just the sweetest man. 20+ years later, whenever I hear people saying that they recently met him or whatever, I always say that he was a dick to me when I was in high school."

"They were screaming about the costume designer being awful, the script being garbage, the set not looking good, etc. And all I could think was: they co-wrote the script,  they directed the show, and had control over every aspect of it.  They approved all of it. How the fuck is any of it someone else's fault? I lost all respect for them that day." 

"Interpreters finally got put on shorter boxes, which made it super difficult for us Deafies to see them, and the boxes were so unstable that someone had to literally keep a hand on the working interpreters to stabilize them while they signed. Ruined my years of baby queer worship instantly, because imagine your ego being so big that basic accessibility threatens it?"

"I stuck out my hand during the introduction, only to be rebuffed with, 'I don’t have time for this.' Done. His record speaks for itself. He’s a legend. But I surely didn’t hate it when he was suspended. Fuck that guy."

"The most disappointing part is the massive volume of literature he's written that clearly demonstrates he understands how evil his behavior is."

"Terrible shot, cocky, loud, spotlight ranger type of dude who was more or less resting on his laurels for getting the decoration he got. Then I worked for him and found out his tactics and job knowledge were kinda shit. Then I found out he actually campaigned to have his original medal upgraded. He was kind of a bitch to everyone else on the team. I really looked up to that dude in training and was excited to be working under him. Afterwards, I really understood the 'never meet your heroes' thing."
