Celebrities Who Stood Up To Nasty Fans

Despite the various advantages that a life in the spotlight can provide, it's also undeniable
that dealing with aggressive or angry fans is a stiff price to pay for fame and fortune.
Who really wants someone interrupting their concert, haranguing them nonstop on Twitter,
or ambushing them on the street for a selfie?
For these stars, when their fans did cross the line, they weren't afraid to snap back
and call them out for being rude.
Selfie slams
Comedian Amy Schumer might have a great sense of humor, but she wasn't laughing when she
was accosted on the street by an overzealous fan in 2016.
The actress said she was out for a walk in South Carolina when she was confronted by
a man who wanted her picture.
Despite Schumer's adamant refusals, the fan would not relent.
So Schumer took matters into her own hands and posted a photo of him to her Instagram
page, with the caption: "This guy in front of his family just ran up next to me scared
the s*** out of me.
Put a camera in my face.
I asked him to stop and he said 'no it's America and we paid for you.'
This was in front of his daughter.
I was saying stop and no … I will not take picture with people anymore and it's because
of this dude in Greenville."
Her Hollywood bestie, Jennifer Lawrence, shared a similar experience shortly thereafter, telling
Vanity Fair:
"You might think you know me, but when you approach me you're a total stranger to me
and I'm scared.
I get very protective of my space.
It took me a long time to be able to do that."
"But if I'm eating dinner and somebody comes up and a flash goes off from someone's iPhone
camera, I am really rude to that person."
So, if you see these two out and about, it's best to just let them go about their business
without attempting to get a selfie snap.
"That's true.
Ding ding ding.
That is true."
The same is true for Beyonce and Jay-Z.
It's understandable why fans might want a photo with the power couple, but in August
2016, one person got a little too close for comfort to the pair in New York.
Jay-Z ended up reaching out to shove said fan away from his wife, while she just kept
her cool and continued strutting to their vehicle.
Grabby hands
Some fans don't just want to get a photo with their favorite celebs.
In some cases, the adoring public of a celeb might get especially overzealous and try to
grab the person — to do what, however, it's not clear.
For example, Rihanna had to fight off one concert goer in Birmingham, England in 2013
after he or she got handsy with her mid-performance, and she had to slap the fan away with her
microphone to escape the grasp.
Then, in 2015 Taylor Swift also had to fend off an overeager audience member in Edmonton,
Canada who pulled at her leg during her performance of "Bad Blood."
Luckily, security promptly intervened, but Swift still gave the dude some serious side-eye
before continuing to perform for the other, non-aggressive fans who'd come out to enjoy
the show.
Viral villainy
Not all nasty fans have to even show their faces before upsetting the stars.
For Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna, it was her Instagram commenters
who drove her batty with negative feedback.
Instead of keeping quiet about it, though, she decided to give them a taste of their
own medicine and wrote, "I'm convinced that the haters/trolls are all fat hoarders with
50 cats … With no teeth."
She didn't stop with that, going for broke with insults and language we can't quite repeat
here...
She deleted the comments shortly thereafter, but her fans probably won't forget her severe
reaction any time soon.
Meanwhile, TV and film heartthrob Charlie Hunnam also lashed back at digital negativity
in March 2016 when he released a video message to fans who were posting hateful messages
about his longtime girlfriend, Morgana McNelis, on social media.
Asking them to back off, Hunnam said:
"I would respectfully ask you to stop doing this.
She is an intelligent, beautiful, kind person who just tried to live a simple life and has
nothing to do with the entertainment industry…"
"Why would you attack her out of admiration for me?
It makes no sense.
Perhaps you might think about spending the time you dedicate on attacking her on improving
the quality of your own life, as it is well known that this type of random hatred usually
comes from deep rooted personal unhappiness."
Rinna and Hunnam might have taken two different routes to say it, but the sentiments were
basically the same.
Political pans
She may have written one of the bestselling book series of all times, but that doesn't
mean that Harry Potter author J.K.
Rowling hasn't had to deal with her fair share of Twitter drama.
In October 2016, she made her feelings about then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump very
well known, posting "Well, there you have it.
A highly intelligent, experienced woman just debated a giant orange Twitter egg.
Your move, America.
#debate."
More critical tweets about Trump soon followed.
Her many followers took note, and some fans started posting that they were planning to
burn all their Harry Potter books and DVDs in retaliation.
Rowling unabashedly responded to her critics, tweeting to one, "I've still got your money,
so by all means borrow my lighter."
Rowling kept her chin up, and acknowledged that despite the haters, she'll keep on doing
her thing and writing more "kindling."
Now, that's what you call magic.
