Cameron Diaz Was Labeled ‘Unfriendly’ After Refusing To Sign Autographs And Lecturing Fans Who Wanted One

Highlights

• Cameron Diaz reportedly angered fans by refusing to sign autographs and lecturing them when asked.
• Reports of Diaz’s rudeness towards fans during a movie premiere for “Sex Tape” surfaced in 2014.
• Diaz has been previously named as the most unfriendly celebrity, but her team denies these allegations.

After becoming a major movie star, Cameron Diaz’s time in the public eye hasn’t always been easy. Between having to sue over allegations involving Justin Timberlake and coping with other rumors, Diaz has obviously been frustrated by her celebrity status.

In recent years, people like Donald Trump Jr. have proven that celebrities can embrace being booed. Years before that incident, Diaz proved she didn’t bow down to fans by reportedly lecturing people after they asked for her autograph.

Cameron Diaz’s Bad Attitude About Signing Autographs Angered Her Fans

Over the last several years, Cameron Diaz has been mostly missing in action when it comes to Hollywood. However, back in 2013, Diaz was such a big deal that Forbes named her the highest-paid Hollywood actress over 40. It was in that era of Diaz’s life that she and one of her co-stars allegedly did something that deeply upset many of her fans.

In 2014, Diaz and Jason Segel starred in a romantic comedy that has mostly been forgotten together. That film which had the salacious title of Sex Tape was a minor hit at the box office but it mostly came and went.

How financially successful was Sex Tape, according to The Numbers?

While Sex Tape is mostly forgotten, an event that reportedly happened around the movie’s release remains a part of Diaz’s legacy. The reason for that is according to some of her fans, Diaz and Segel were very rude when they were asked for autographs.

According to a fan who spoke to Radar Online, Diaz and Segel were both “awful” to them. That same fan apparently was so upset by how the two stars acted that they described their actions a second time.

“Both of their attitudes were disgusting.”

As for what the two stars did that was so bad according to Radar Online’s report, one fan claimed that Diaz “lectured” them for requesting an autograph.

“And when Cameron was spotted, she also refused the fans telling them, ‘If I did it for you I’d have to do it for everyone’ before storming off.”

Radar Online’s report also claimed that Segel’s behavior left observers feeling shocked.

“‘When a 20-something fan asked Jason for a photo as he left the premiere he said, ‘No’ and literally slammed the car door right in the fan’s face. People gasped, that’s how bad it was,’ the source said.”

In all fairness to Diaz and Segel, there has long been a lot of debate about how fans should ask for autographs, if at all. One example of that is that fact that many stars have spoken out about people who wait at hotels and airports to demand autographs.

On top of that, in November 2023 John Cena was celebrated online for shutting down a fan who interrupted his meal. Long celebrated as being incredibly kind to fans, Cena won praise for firmly defending his right to have a private moment while also being respectful.

When Diaz and Segel reportedly were rude to fans, the situation was pretty different than the one that Cena was in, however. According to the fans who claim to have been treated that way, they didn’t approach the two stars during a private moment.

According to Radar Online’s report, Diaz and Segel allegedly treated fans who attended a movie premiere for Sex Tape that way.

“‘It’s not like the fans were following them at a hotel or restaurant, it was a film premiere with fans,’ one eyewitness told Radar.”

Radar Online’s article also featured a fan quote that described Diaz and Segel’s behavior throughout their fan interaction.

“‘Cameron was as unfriendly as can be and it was really disappointing. And Jason was downright nasty to his fans, another insider told Radar.”

After Radar Online published their report, neither Diaz nor Segel responded to the article. As such, it is important to note there could be some context that is missing that could change everything. First off, the description of Diaz and Segel’s behavior could be completely unfair or untrue. On top of that, the fans could have been disrespectful in some way that inspired Diaz and Segel’s reported behavior.

Cameron Diaz Was Named The Most Unfriendly Celebrity

Years before Radar Online published their article about Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, there were reports she wasn’t friendly to fans. In fact, a 2003 Today article named Diaz as the most unfriendly celebrity citing a report from Autograph Collector magazine.

To back up their claim that Diaz was the most unfriendly celebrity, Autograph Collector magazine included an alleged story. According to this report, Diaz once reacted to fans trying to get her attention in an extreme way.

“Two small girls [ages] 10 and 11 saw her and squealed and called her name until Cameron turned and started screaming — ‘No one talk to me! Don’t let anyone look at me!’” reports the source. “The guards then started threatening people NOT to look at Ms. Diaz or speak to her. . . . The girls were crushed. They were actually afraid to even look her direction.”

According to Autograph Collector magazine, that incident took place when Diaz attended a Justin Timberlake concert. When Today reached out to Diaz’s team about Autograph Collector magazine’s story, they completely denied anything like that happened.
