[quote=Anonymous]This whole incident is interesting to me because I have to admit that I always assume rich and famous people are probably jerks. Like even the "good" celebrities, I am very cynical about it and would not be totally shocked if someone like Tom Hanks turned out to be really full of himself or privately terrible. I wouldn't be happy about it, but I wouldn't be shocked.

I always assume really beautiful women who are wealthy and famous are probably stuck up, and even if they do a good job of presenting a kind facade, I assume that on some level they think they are better and more deserving of attention than other women. Again, I'm not upset about it, it's just what I assume. It's in their interest to never show this side and in fact to demonstrate a much more magnanimous, kind nature. But what are the odds that Taylor Swift privately made fun of awkward, ugly girls back when she was growing up in school? I feel they are probably pretty high, no matter how sweet she comes off as now.

So the Chrissy Teigan stuff is fascinating to me because she didn't really even try to hide any of this stuff but people just gave her the benefit of the doubt (and many continue to) because she's pretty and famous and her husband seems cool and her kids are cute. But none of that has ever stopped the non-famous I know IRL to refrain from saying mean, catty things about other women behind their back (and occasionally to their faces). In fact, having an enviable life often seems to make people more likely to behave this way.

So why are we ever surprised by any of this? Do people actually think that if they met Chrissy Teigan, she'd have warm and complimentary feelings toward them? I doubt she'd even acknowledge my existence, and if she did, it would mostly be for show ("look how nice I am acknowledging this total no one!").

Truly kind people are hard to come by, I have no idea why anyone thinks being wealthy and famous would make it more likely. It obviously makes it less likely.[/quote]
