T he constant glamorization by the media makes celebrities seem almost like perfect gods who can do no wrong but that is nowhere near true but it is easy to fall under that illusion if you don't know about the celebrities who had a public tantrum. After all, they wear all the best clothes, set the beauty standards for society, court the most attractive partners, and make immense amounts of wealth through producing art that is often the only escape we have from the horrors of our life.
No matter how much the media may try to tell us otherwise, celebrities are human beings after all who have a life outside the Instagram posts we see daily. This life involves relatable moments such as emotional dysregulation from time to time, one of the most noteworthy being public temper tantrums thrown when these people just cannot take it anymore. We decided to pick 5 of the best temper tantrums that celebrities have had, just to ground you back to reality if you are stanning celebrities too much.
The former teen pop sensation has a history of anger management issues, but this one compares to no other. There are various accounts of her being reported “out of control” in the lobby of the Greenwich Hotel one fine night. Guests were bothered by Miley and her entourage being extremely disruptive, with reports of them smoking cannabis and swearing pretty loudly. When this behavior prompted the hotel management to tell Miley and her entourage to quiet down, Miley got into a heated argument with them. Some heard her say “They should be glad to have her” and how she “Spends so much money here”. Since this incident was not publicly recorded, the claim of what exactly happened that day is quite divisive with some claiming that there were no disruptions or outbursts by Miley, to begin with.
A lot of us common folk cannot relate to the constant harassment celebrities face from the paparazzi. Following someone around and taking away any semblance of privacy that they may have feels like a crime, but it isn’t, at least for the people whose lives are believed to be public property. Ultimately, the constant questioning of the paparazzi got to the Hunger Games star when she lashed out at them, screaming “No! No! No!” while stomping the ground in anger while at the premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. You cannot really blame her for this reaction, anyone would behave this way if we were faced with this level of sensory overload.
Yet another example of elite celebrities bullying helpless workers who are just trying to do their jobs. The star of the show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, has been reported to have thrown money at a waitress of a restaurant after she, for whatever reason, refused her service. Kendall Jenner denied the incident ever taking place, stating in a tweet that “She was raised better than that”.
The famous pop singer had an altercation with members of club security in London when the latter refused entry to some of his entourage, citing concerns about their age. Not only did the singer misbehave with the crew of the club, but also took to his Instagram with a further rant claiming that this was the worst birthday he ever had and insisted how he would never invite underage members in his entourage to a club, to begin with. He blamed the club for trying to incite a baseless drama for press coverage and clout. The spokesman of the club, on the other hand, emphasized that various members of the entourage failed to provide adequate documentation of their age, which according to UK law prohibits them from any entry into such clubs.
In February 2009, leaked audio of the sets of Terminator Salvation revealed acclaimed actor Christian Bale absolutely losing it as a film crew member. At first, the outburst is understandable because Bale was in his acting zone when the crew member walked past the set. But the outburst soon turns into a simple case of Bale bullying the crew member even after he apologized.
All of these incidents are truly awful and worthy of heavy criticism, minus the Jennifer Lawrence incident, but ultimately, there is a lot to learn about our own behavior with these 5 celebrities who had a public tantrum.
