You’re familiar with the A-List celebrities, but now find out who’s an A-Hole celebrity, who’s not and who’s straddling the line. Bethenny is naming names and she’s got the receipts to back it all up. This is as explosive as it gets.
This is not a brag. I was gonna say, like a humble brag. It's not humble. It's not a brag. It's a fact. I know a lot. And I'm when I when I'm hesitating to say most famous people, like but I don't think I know more. I don't know how many famous people that are. I I mean famous in like celebrity culture. I would say at a certain level and a certain group. I know maybe like twenty five percent of famous people. Like and what does no mean? I've met Justin Timberlake twice. I don't know him. I haven't met Selena Gomez. I I'm thinking of current people right now. I haven't met Taylor Swift, I know, but I know older. I know Katie Kirk, I know Ellen, I know Gail King, haven't met, don't know Oprah Um, no Slash have met a couple of times, Rees Witterspoon, but no, if I was at a party, she'd say, no, Slash of Metgaga, Like I know a decent amount of famous people, you know, so like I wouldn't say twenty five percent of like every TikTok star or twenty two year old musical artist, but of my generation, like of the middle aged running from like Matthew McConaughey, you know, to like a Tofer Grace or something. So maybe a little and now twenty percent. Maybe I know I know a decent amount of people, so I would like to tell you celebrities that are not assholes. This is not going to be all of them, because I know a lot of people, but I just randomly, I'm just going to tell you about celebrities that are definitively not assholes. I'm not ready. Maybe on my deathbed and maybe a soon, or I'll tell you about celebrities that are assholes. So here are celebrities who are not assholes. So Kelly Rippa is not an asshole. You know, I'm friends with her, but that's why I'm friends with her. Everybody who knows me, who really knows me, like you could call Kelly an Aska right now. I've never asked her for a single thing. I don't want anything from her. I don't want anything from anyone. Nobody has anything I want. I like her because she's cool. We are similar, and I became friends with her because of that. Because I met her years ago when I was a nobody at a sushi restaurant in the Hamptons, and that's how you really know when someone's not an asshole. And by the way, there are people that I know who are assholes to me then and still are, and I respect that more than being an asshole to me then and nice to me now. So Kelly Rippa is definitively not an asshole. There are people that are half an asshole, and there are people that you think are so nice that are assholes. From like so you could you could read it totally wrong. Kevin Nealen is so the opposite of an asshole, and it's hard to even like put him in the same sentence as that. But he just for some reason came to my lady Gaga is he is not an asshole. She is so cool and nice and real sea beyond and not an asshole. Opposite of an asshole. And there are people Rhese Witherspoon the opposite of an asshole. Matthew McConaughey is completely not an asshole. Of course, you can imagine the deck shuffling and me thinking of the assholes. I actually do know. Ryan's seacrest is the opposite of an asshole. And I'm gonna tell you why about Ryan's secret, because and I could give color on certain people, like Lady Gaga is just cool. Lady Gaga when I met her at a party, was so nice and then also like commented on a TikTok of mine, like to make me feel better when I wasn't feeling well. Like that's the opposite of an asshole. Gabrielle Reese married to Larat Hamilton's the opposite, like going out of your way. Jenny Garth opposite, going out of your way to be a nice, good person. Oh Ellen Pompeo opposite of an asshole. Debra Messing opposite of an asshole. Susan Sandon met her years ago when I was baking cookies and I had eight thousand dollars in my name to my bank account, and like would deliver them to her house and I try to connect to her and her daughter and try to be somebody, and she was as nice then as ever. She's the opposite of an asshole. Mario Lopez has always been nice since he was a kid. He's not an asshole. So I'm going to keep a list and write because it's nice for you guys to know the people that you support or don't, and like you could. There are people that you know that I've met and know, and if I'm not mentioning that you know some of these some people I know are half an asshole, and some people I know are full assholes trying so hard to pretend that they're not assholes. That's worse. I'd rather an asshole be an asshole, But someone trying so hard to pretend they're not an asshole, that's a different story. I know from secondhand that Meryl Streep is the opposite of an asshole because I know her agent who's worked with her for ten thousand years, and he wouldn't have worked with her for ten thousand years if she were And Sarah Jessica Parker's is not an asshole? Should we make a definition for asshole someone who's like fronting and stunting and only doing it when it should show and like not if you really saw who they really were, would you likely dig like you know what I mean? Like, Oh, hold is the opposite of an asshole? Hold is great? By the way, I can't think of one person at the Today's Show who is an asshole. Every every talent that The Today Show has had has been nice, and I'm like, my head's going over to GMA and I don't know that group as well. Tell me if you like this game, I certainly like it. But what I was gonna say is, so an asshole someone who like isn't is fronting and stunting and not presenting themselves a way that they actually are to people that actually know them. And that based on what I know from you guys in comments and connecting with you over these years, you wouldn't dig. There'd be a lack of authenticity and some of them would really surprise. You know who's not an asshole? Seth Myers totally not an asshole? Oh my god. The biggest opposite of an asshole, like and the reason I'm giving opposite of asshole awards is because like they've gone out of their way that they didn't need to, Okay, and also sometimes it's it's proportionate to the level of their fame. So like for example, Sebastian Maniscalco I think his last name is, I just discovered him and I messed a chain and his wife on Instagram, Stepily, because I just wanted to like connect and I want to go see a show and so like he was nice back to me, but like, and he's very famous in doing very well, and often like a person at that level thinks they're hot shit and like they'll be an asshole. They're not even at like, you know, a list status yet, but like sometimes they think they're really like a hot stepper, but I don't I won't give an opposite of an asshole award usually to someone at that level. I'll give an opposite of an asshole award to someone who like almost because no one has the reason to be an asshole, but like almost has a reason to be an asshole because they're so bob third or just so above where I am. That like you could almost excuse them because they're so phenomenal, if that makes any sense. Like, I'm not excusing being an asshole, but they could almost get away with it. So Chris Rock is the number one opposite of an asshole, and I'm gonna give you receipts. Why So, I don't know if I was on Instagram or how. I initially reached out to Chris Rock when it was years ago to like connect on something, and he responded just very simple like response back and forth. Oh no, I met him in Miami at an event, and I would never I would never repeat it. But he told me. We were comparing divorce notes, and he told me what he pays, and I'll just never forget him just making a joke about it. Not the number. I would never repat the number, but I'm sure he's made jokes about that in his act. He has actually, and he was nice and we connected and I messaged him and he responded, and we have like a very very brief, very brief answer generated to buy me, not him. But when I was going to do stand up for the first and only time for five minutes, which has never been released because I went up at New York Comedy Club in New York to try something and no one has any record of it except for me. I messaged people that I know and like bullshit, no, you know, so like I know Kathy Griffin and she responded and gave me amazing tips, and people like Kim Whitfield and Ellen DeGeneres responded, and you know other people. But Chris Rock responded in multiple paragraphs with detail. I could tell you what he said. I could tell you what he said, you know, improvising, he said, it's a very personal thing and not to go in there with an entourage. But like, don't get this twisted. We don't really know each other, like he he like had respect for this craft in a way that I was going to try something which could also be insulting, like oh you dumb, dumb, We're gonna just walk in and like number one, this is what he said i'd make I would never share, like I'm not a text sharer on social media, like this isn't this, I've said this before. This is like Ellen said to me, be funny, like I'm not exaggerating. That's what she said to me. That was her second line. He said, I'd make sure I did it privately, like at a small club unannounced before I charged money to do it. Check cute that he thinks I would charge money, but I did get last by the way. Two, I would go with no more than one friend. Comedy is very intimate. It's not a group activity. The best comics role solo. Great advice. Did that? Also, make sure you know how you're going to start and how you're going to end. The middle is a feeling. If I were you, I'd hire a comedy coach trainer, and he shouted out a woman named lim Copleit, so Lynn call me because I did do a decent job for five minutes. I definitely did like I could do it. People have said you should do stand up. I could do it, but I also wouldn't disrespect the crap. I've been like, oh my god, I could do it. Dip in like it's a hard work and like, I just watched Chris Rock special and meanwhile, it's funny because he says, make sure you know how you're going to start and how you're gonna end because he felt in his recent special selective outrage. So anyway, Chris Rock is my number one opposite of an asshole because he does not need to go into like he could be like, you know, just be yourself. Friends that I have that are stand up comedians gave less than Chris Rock. He's getting number one opposite of asshole award. So if you like this, which I know you do, I'll do more, and I'll think of other people, and I'll keep a list of assholes and non assholes and one day will pop the asshole panyata. Not today,
