I have lived and worked in LA for about several years now. Over the years I have met my fair share of celebs. I’ve worked at quite a few upscale boutiques and some of Hollywood’s A-List frequent there.
Two of the strangest encounters were with Beyoncé and Lana Del Rey. I’m pretty big fans of both more so Lana at the time but something was very odd about the two of them.
I met Lana after Ultraviolence was released. When she came into the store I was working at I couldn’t control my excitement. I calmly approached her and told her what a huge fan I was etc. The look in her eyes was just blank. It was almost as if she was drugged or under some sort of mind control. She just stared at me blankly, said thank you and gave me a hug and went on her way. It was very robotic and very stiff. She wasn’t rude or mean she just appeared to be “programmed”.
I had a similar encounter with Beyoncé however I didn’t approach her as a fan because I would have gotten in big trouble. This was back in 2016 around Christmas. Her and her mother came in looking for gifts. Like Lana Beyoncé had that blank look in her eyes also. Her manner of speech was slow and she seemed completely out of it. Her mother was very upbeat and talkative while Beyoncé was just standing around like a robot humming along to the music and at one point she sang along to a song which was quite amazing haha however I couldn’t help but feel something wasn’t right. Also like Lana she wasn’t rude. She was very polite and said please and thank you but had zero personality. I helped them both for like a half hour. Maybe I’m over analyzing both scenarios but both encounters were odd and kind of made me sad.
However I’ve met some other celebs who were very normal and fun to work with like Carmen Electra, Fey(Mexican pop star), Nicolette Sheridan, Jennifer Lawrence, a ton of real housewives, Sylvester Stallone etc all were down to earth and very cool.
Oh and on a side note Tyga is a dick and so is 2 Chainz lol
Please share any of your stories if you have them.
