Tabloids will say anything about a celebrity to sell a magazine to women waiting in line at the grocery store. They’re not the most reliable sources regarding which star is rude and nasty. Luckily, we’re not in the mid-aughts anymore, and social media has provided a platform for real people to expose rude celebrities for the menaces they are. If it wasn’t for social media, we might still be in the dark about how mean Ellen was to her employees. 

When TikTok and Twitter users were asked about the rudest celebrity they’ve ever encountered, it wasn’t even a competition. It was a slaughter. Jennifer Lopez’s name kept coming up again and again. Countless stories arose about her disrespectful behavior towards service workers and her refusal to tip any of them. You’d think somebody worth $400 million would have the decency of tipping 20% like the rest of us, but you’d be sorely mistaken.
