Kylie Jenner
During a Snapchat takeover by Kylie’s assistants, one revealed, “Kylie asks me for the same f–king smoothie every morning, and I always ask her, ‘What flavor?’ She goes, ‘You should know the flavor,’” the other assistant explained, while the other added that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is “particular” about her beverages, and won’t drink a smoothie if it’s too warm or the straw has been touched!

Mariah Carey
Mimi is known as a diva — but this may take the cake!
The 46-year-old allegedly “can’t work a microwave,” and forces her personal assistant to wash the Elusive Chanteuse’s hair in the shower. Yikes!

Lady Gaga
Jennifer O’Neill, who worked for Gaga from 2009 to 2011 claims that Mother Monster is, well, a monster.
She sued the singer, 29, for nearly $400,000 that she said she was owed in overtime. In court, Jennifer testified that she was “required” to sleep and shower with Gaga.
“I had no privacy, no chance to talk to any family, no chance to talk to any friends, no chance to have sex if I wanted to have sex,” she said. “There was no chance to do anything.”

The Kardashians
The famous family on Keeping Up With the Kardashians is pretty infamous for their troubling approach to pet care — and now, a source revealed that the Kardashians don’t even take care of their furry friends themselves!
“Every time anyone in the family gets a pet the assistant has to take care of them,” the source claimed. “Walking dogs, changing kitty litter, potty training — it’s a huge burden for the rest of the family so the job falls on the assistant to do all the dirty work.”
The source added, “The family ditches their pets when they’re sick of them.”

Anna Wintour
Given that author Lauren Weisberger based her hit book (turned movie) The Devil Wears Prada on her experience working for Anna Wintour, it should come as no surprise that answering Vogue’s top boss is no easy task!
While the writer has since insisted the book “wasn’t a one-to-one portrayal [of Wintour],” she doesn’t deny her tenure working for the 65-year-old was grueling.
She said, “The strangest thing about my time there? Wow, how can I pick?”

Keri Hilson
According to a report, the “Pretty Girl Rock” songstress, 32, can be a bit of a diva when it comes to her demands!
She allegedly attacked her assistant in 2011 after the singer/songwriter realized her assistant forgot to remove a tag from the black harem pants she wore onstage during a Vegas performance.
“Hilson lost it,” a source said at the time. “She was screaming at her assistant for ‘not being able to do anything right.’”

Christian Bale
Harrison Cheung, who worked for the Batman actor and penned a biography on the 41-year-old detailed the lack of boundaries that existed when he worked for the Oscar winner.
“If Christian was away filming on location, I would take care of his five pets, along with stray possums in the backyard as a special request,” he said. “I would do anything from sniffing Christian’s armpits for B.O. right before he hit the red carpet to making emergency sock-runs if Christian was all out of clean ones.”

Naomi Campbell
The supermodel, 45, is far from the “model” boss!
Naomi has been accused of assaulting employees on 11 different occasions between 1998 and 2009.
Most infamously, in 1998, she was accused of throwing a cell phone (a crime she allegedly went on to repeat) and assaulting an assistant named Georgina Galanis in “a fit of anger.”
She eventually pleaded guilty to assault and was mandated, by court, to complete community service.

Taryn Manning
Back in October 2012, the Orange Is the New Black beauty, 36, was charged with a misdemeanor assault and choking after a disagreement with her then-assistant Holliann Hartman turned into a physical altercation, in which the 8 Mile actress allegedly punched, choked and kicked her assistant — who was left bloody and bruised.
Following the incident, Taryn was ordered by a court to stay away from Holliann.
