12. Jared Leto

Similar to Adam Levine, Jared Leto carries himself like someone who would be a dick in real life. Known for his wild method acting, Leto also carries on like a bit of a wanker when on tour with his band, Thirty Seconds To Mars. He has given the finger to audience members and been a general twat. The band has also built up a cult-like following and staged retreats where everyone wears white and follows Leto’s commands. Another more concerning aspect of Leto’s personality is his penchant for younger women. It is a well-known secret around Hollywood that Leto likes them young and has slid into the DMs of just about every young model in Los Angeles. In short, Leto is not a good dude.
13. Lea Michele

Actress Lea Michele has been another top Hollywood star outed for being one of the meanest celebrities. Rising to fame on the musical drama Glee, Michele has been branded mean-spirited and a bully. Many of her co-stars, including Samantha Marie Ware and Heather Morris, have spoken out against Michele’s behavior. As expected, Michele came out and issued an apology via her Instagram account, but people still haven’t forgotten about her mistreatment of co-stars.
14. Russell Crowe

When he does good, Russell Crowe is hailed as an Aussie. When he turns bad, it’s the New Zealander in him. The actor and rocker has a long history of being a wanker. His most talked-about outburst was when he threw a phone at a hotel employee. Facing assault charges, Crowe settled out of court to avoid jail time. His violent temper got him into several scrapes during the late 90s/early 00s.
One of the lesser talked about but worrying incidents involves Crowe and rapper Azelia Banks. Crowe forcibly removed her from a party he was hosting. Not only was he said to have been violent, but he spat on her and used racist language directed at Banks. There seems to be a bit of he said she said to this one, with most witnesses backing Crowe’s version of events. Either way, you shouldn’t be manhandling a woman or using racist language, no matter what the situation is.
