Who was your saddest celebrity encounter?

I used to work for a place Pace concerts, when I was in my mid-twenties, answering phones for the artist's crew on the day of the concert. The absolute worst people I ever encountered during that job was Rod Stewart's crew. His tour manager kept hounding me to bare my breasts to him (in the office mind you) and after saying no many times, he responded with "Well they're just little things anyway. I don't know what your problem is." Then he proceeded to treat me like shit for the rest of the day. A woman in his entourage called about an hour before the show, rudely demanding to speak to their stage manager Bernie. Well, Bernie was busy af and was no where to be found. I told her he wasn't answering any pages and she flipped the fuck out and told me if to go find Bernie because my job depended on it. I ran all over the venue trying to find this guy. No avail. By the time I made it back into the office, this bitch was sitting in there with a hairstyle just like Rod Stewart's telling everyone I was rude to her and told her to fuck off and straight lying through her teeth about how horribly I treated her. You don't know how close I came to really telling her to do what she's accusing me of but refrained because I good friend had just given me the job. I didn't want to make him look bad. I just walked outside and let her rant. I told my boss what happened afterwards and he said he would not look bad if I stood my ground against "bitches too big for their britches in the music industry" and I had the green light to tell off anyone I pleased. Most bands also let us watch the show during the concert but Rod Stewart's policy was I was not to go anywhere near the concert unless I paid for a ticket. What a jerk! The only positive experience of the day was I got to meet the former drummer of The The who happened to be touring with Rod Stewart's band at that time. He was super nice and chit chatted with me for a little while as I was in between answering calls. I never had an issue with Rod Stewart himself but the people around him were just total jerks to work for.
