When you think about the most-hated celebrities, they’re usually people who have exhibited completely abhorrent or extremely problematic behavior — whether that’s some form of abuse, sexual misconduct, or other harmful actions. But that isn’t always the case. Sometimes, there’s no serious or justifiable reason for disliking them — you just…don’t.
Reddit user bush_did_turning_red recently got people talking about the celebs they dislike for non-serious reasons when they asked, “Who’s a famous person you dislike for reasons that aren’t very serious and have nothing to do with them hurting anyone?” Here are some of the stars they named.

2.“There are probably legitimate reasons to not like Joe Jonas, but he stood in the middle of a walkway at my work once, and the lack of spatial awareness in a crowded place PMO, so I’ve not liked him since.”

3.“My husband despises Claire Danes not because of her affair with Billy Crudup, but because she always looks like she’s about to cry and it annoys him. He also hates Pitbull and when you ask him why, he can’t tell you. Just hates him. I have a hard time watching anything Emily Watson is in. Don’t know why. Whenever I see her, I just want to get as far away from her as possible. 🤷♀️”

4.“I was once shushed by Gwyneth Paltrow’s handlers because she was about to walk by, and I’ve had a one-sided beef with her ever since.”

5.“Chris Pratt seemed really likable until he started saying things that weren’t written by others.”

6.“JoJo Siwa is my arch nemesis. I find that energy extremely grating. She sounds like Donnie Thornberry, and one time I had a bad dream that I was trapped in a closed Target, and all 5’9″ of her dressed like a toddler was chasing me and screaming at me to buy her Bobos. 😭”

“Also, I know a lot of folks think he’s a jerk now, but I’ve disliked Justin Timberlake since I was like 6 because I thought his hair looked like cauliflower and I saw his marionette doll and it scared me a lot.”

7.“Jacob Elordi. He gives me very much ‘I’m embarrassed about the fact that I’m in The Kissing Booth and Euphoria, so I’m doing everything to seem artsy and deep and philosophical.’ Like, cmon dude, pulling out a book in the one minute it takes to fill up your gas for paparazzi pics?”

11.“Before the whole Trump thing, Elon Musk just skeeved me the fuck out because his name just sounded freaking gross and his presence gave me such a bad vibe……Now, I just hate him ’cause he’s an ass.”

12.“I HATE Dax Shepard. He just feels fake and a tryhard (he’s probably a great guy, but fuck him anyway)”

13.“Bobby Flay. He’s even a cat person but I have an irrational dislike of him for reasons only the universe knows.”

14.“Cynthia Erivo and Sutton Foster both annoy me to a level that is not proportional to who they are.”

15.“Leonardo DiCaprio. He talks himself up as an environmental activist, then does everything imaginable to prove he doesn’t actually care about the environment.”

— pinkcrystalfairy, 4K upvotes
16.“Dakota Johnson. As far as I know she’s not a bad person/never done anything awful, but I find her to be a very bad actress. People seem really drawn to her very cavalier attitude and dgaf persona, but paired with her crazy levels of nepotism + lack of talent (imo) doesn’t make her very likable to me. Again I don’t hate her, but I’m just very surprised that she seems to be so well-liked.”

18.“Don Cheadle. I just don’t trust him. He’s too put together, too smooth and suave. Like, literally bro’s whole head is just beautiful skin. Doesn’t make sense. Does his own thing too and doesn’t cause trouble. I feel like the one dude from Dexter about him, but I swear something is off with Don Cheadle.”

20.“Probably Jimmy Fallon is the closest for me. I’ve never liked him since he became a late night host but I was also always a Conan fan so my bias has been strong since day one.”

21.“Zoe Saldaña because of the Nina Simone biopic bullshit. Gabrielle Union will never convince me that she’s a reformed mean girl. Jimmy Fallon has never been funny. I want Jennifer Lopez to stop calling herself a singer. An actress/dancer/producer is fine. Luke Bryan irks the hell out of me … James Patterson. Why? Because I’m a librarian.”

24.“I don’t like Beyoncé. Let me first say that it isn’t about her music, which is fire. She has killer vocals and can put on a GODDAMN PERFORMANCE. And of course, she is a freaking beautiful woman. So, none of it is a dig about thinking she isn’t talented; she earned her Grammys. I’ve always had a dislike for the societal double standard where Beyoncé isn’t expected to speak up on issues, donate, or take any other action. Essentially, I dislike the idolization of Beyoncé, not because I don’t think she is a generational talent, because I do, but because people create double standards between her and other artists.”

“I’ve seen people drag Taylor Swift, Megan Thee Stallion, Selena Gomez, SZA, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Tinashe, and others for not being ‘vocal’ enough in politics, for making social snafus, or for being capitalistic… but it’s always crickets when it comes to critique of Beyoncé for the same/similar behavior.”

25.“John Krasinski. After The Office, I felt like Hollywood was really trying to push him as the next heartthrob mega star. It’s become very clear in the years since that it’s the writing on The Office that made people love him and not anything about his talents apart from that role.”
