Although she’s the definition of a diva, Mariah Carey knows how to treat people in the service industry. She may get a little catty with her fellow stars, but she treats all her employees with the utmost respect.
However, Mariah’s respectful attitude doesn’t stop her from enjoying a drink or two (or five) while at home. Especially before her children were in the picture, Mariah’s alcoholic beverage was essentially a part of her outfit. Her tipsy evenings at home were common, especially during the holiday season when she frequently celebrated the success of “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
Victoria Beckham Doesn’t Accept Disloyalty
In the Beckham household, drama spreads like wildfire. For one employee, David’s rumored infidelities, unfortunately, affected her position. When a former employee of Victoria Beckham got a little too cozy with the ex-Spice Girl’s former beautician, an alleged object of David’s extramarital affection, she earned the wrath of her employer.
Victoria fired her immediately for her disloyalty. On the one hand, it has to be embarrassing to have so many former flings running around. On the other hand, Victoria can’t blame her employees for David’s unfaithful ways.
Madonna Doesn’t Take Too Kindly to Employees Quitting
When former nanny Angela handed in her notice, Madonna didn’t take the news well. Instead of allowing her children’s caretaker to finish out the final weeks of her employment, Madonna told her nanny to leave right then and there.
With little warning, Angela was told to pack her things and leave the premises. The abrupt firing understandably came as a shock to the nanny. However, it must have been comforting to know that she probably made the right decision in exiting her position.
George Clooney Is Very Protective of His Alcohol
Although he looks plenty personable onscreen, George Clooney apparently exhibits some rather unpleasant behaviors while in the comfort of his own home. According to past housekeepers, he’s very protective of his belongings and often checks his alcohol collection to make sure no one snuck a sip while on the job.
While it’s perfectly reasonable for an employer to expect that his housekeepers stay away from his personal possessions, George has also been known to act a little tight with money in general. It seems money worries never fully go away, even when you’re a big star.
Sandra Bullock Likes to Live in the Dark
While she’s a total firecracker onscreen, Sandra Bullock likes to stay away from the lights, camera, and action while at home. Sounds reasonable, right? It would be, but in addition to keeping the curtains drawn day in and day out, the star also requires that all the lights in her house be kept off.
Is she worried about the electricity bill? Does she realize she’s a big star? Perhaps navigating a dark mansion is easy for Sandra, but it may be a challenge for her visitors.
