00:00It has become Reese Witherspoon's most talked about performance of the year.
00:04Captured by a Georgia State Troopers dash cam and beamed around the world.
00:09Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the moments
00:14where celebrities were brought down a peg or two by their own entitled behavior.
00:18They say Kanye was immediately escorted out of their building.
00:21Not clear exactly why he showed up in the first place.
00:25Number 10. Victoria Beckham gets a reality check.
00:28Fans are absolutely losing it over a clip of Victoria and David Beckham
00:32fighting about whether she's working class.
00:35It turns out even Posh Spice isn't safe from a little domestic fact-checking.
00:39While discussing her upbringing on the Netflix docu-series Beckham,
00:43Victoria Beckham described her family as working class.
00:46That is, until her husband, soccer legend David Beckham,
00:49popped in from off-screen to call her out.
00:51We're very working, working class.
00:54Be honest.
00:55I am being honest.
00:57After some reluctant back and forth,
00:59Victoria eventually revealed that her dad used to drive her to school in a Rolls Royce.
01:03So my dad...
01:04No, one answer.
01:05My dad...
01:06What car was it?
01:07All right, it's not a simple answer because...
01:09What car did you get your dad to drive her to school?
01:11It depends.
01:12No, no, no, no, no.
01:13Okay, in the 80s, my dad had a Rolls Royce.
01:16The clip instantly went viral, with fans praising David for keeping it real.
01:20Yep, the unscripted moment peeled back the curtain on celebrities self-mythologizing
01:24and gave us a good laugh in the process.
01:27That one fan calls him the last remaining investigative journalist.
01:30No hug for Kesha.
01:32You know a celebrity's ego has been checked when they are the ones getting refused for a hug.
01:36You see, during the 2017 red carpet interview, pop star Kesha rushed towards superstar comedian
01:42Jerry Seinfeld.
01:43Fangirling to the max, Kesha was quick to ask for an embrace.
01:47Seinfeld, however, dodged her not once, not twice, but three times.
01:52No thanks.
01:53Please?
01:53No thanks.
01:54A little one.
01:54Yeah, no thanks.
01:55Oh!
01:57Kesha awkwardly walked away while Seinfeld smiled at reporters, completely unfazed and
02:02ultimately unaware of who she was.
02:04I don't hug a total stranger.
02:06I have to meet someone, say hello.
02:10There you go.
02:10Before the-
02:11I gotta start somewhere.
02:12Before you go in for the hug.
02:13Yeah.
02:14The internet couldn't get enough of the cringeworthy yet hilarious exchange.
02:18It was a reminder that fame doesn't always open every door.
02:21And sometimes, that includes hugs.
02:24I think I just scared the poor man.
02:27I honestly just think I was like I had a little too much energy.
02:31Maybe it came up too fast.
02:32I came up really fast.
02:33I have a lot of energy.
02:34I heard his voice.
02:35I got very excited.
02:36Number eight.
02:37Kanye West escorted out of Skechers HQ.
02:40Kanye West showed up all hello at Skechers headquarters in California today.
02:44Unannounced.
02:45Uninvited.
02:45In October of 2022, just days after Adidas cut ties with Kanye West over anti-Semitic remarks,
02:51Ye reportedly showed up unannounced at Skechers Los Angeles HQ.
02:55With cameras rolling, the music artist was hoping to spark a meeting.
02:58But instead of a deal, Kanye got the boom.
03:01Executives had him escorted off the premises and promptly released a statement clarifying
03:05he wasn't invited.
03:07They explicitly stated that Skechers has no intention of working with him.
03:11They say Kanye was immediately escorted out of their building.
03:14Not clear exactly why he showed up in the first place, but Skechers executives say they
03:17have no intention of working with Ye, as he calls himself now.
03:20The optics were brutal.
03:21One of the industry's biggest names literally walked out of a sneaker company.
03:25It also served as a reminder that even billionaires can't swagger past consequences.
03:29He crazy.
03:30I know what you're thinking.
03:31Rapping.
03:32I know what you're drinking.
03:33Number seven.
03:34Elon Musk booed at a Dave Chappelle comedy show.
03:36Comedian Dave Chappelle brought out Elon Musk on stage and Musk was booed for several minutes.
03:41When Elon Musk walked onto a San Francisco stage during Dave Chappelle's 2022 comedy show,
03:46he probably expected a warm welcome.
03:48What did he get instead?
03:50That would be a wall of sustained booze.
04:04Unfortunately for Musk, he had just made major headlines for his controversial takeover of
04:09Twitter and subsequent layoffs.
04:11Chappelle tried to smooth things over with jokes like,
04:13It sounds like some of those people you fired are in the audience.
04:17As for Musk, he managed a sheepish grin and a few short comments before retreating.
04:21The moment went viral, cementing it as one of Musk's most merciless audience roastings.
04:26And I think, you know, he's been tweeting essentially a lot of right-wing politics.
04:30And so when he shows up in San Francisco at a comedy show, tough reception.
04:35Number six.
04:36Justin Bieber's monkey gets confiscated.
04:38Justin Bieber likely thought touring the world with a pet monkey was the ultimate flex.
04:43However, customs officials had other ideas.
04:46We hear that Justin's new pet monkey, OG, got detained at the Munich airport.
04:51In 2013, while on tour, Bieber brought his capuchin monkey, Mali, into Germany without proper paperwork.
04:58Authorities confiscated the animal on the spot.
05:00Officials took the monkey into quarantine.
05:03All is all right right now with the monkey though.
05:07And after the singer failed to produce the required documents, Mali was permanently rehomed at a wildlife park.
05:12Not making this one up.
05:13The pop star's former pet monkey has emerged.
05:16Pet monkey?
05:17Yes.
05:17Pet monkey?
05:18He had a pet.
05:19Some people have cats.
05:20Some have dogs.
05:21Justin Bieber had a monkey.
05:23And it has emerged from quarantine in Germany three months after Bieber brought the monkey to the country.
05:27The incident became a PR nightmare, sparking outrage over Bieber's treatment of exotic animals.
05:32Losing his pet to German customs was a rude awakening that global pop star fame doesn't equal global immunity.
05:39Number 5.
05:40Elderly man withstands punch from Conor McGregor.
05:42New video shows UFC star Conor McGregor sucker punching an elderly man in a Dublin pub.
05:48Conor McGregor might be one of the fiercest fighters in UFC history.
05:51But in this round, he picked the wrong opponent.
05:54An older man in a pub.
05:55Yup.
05:56In 2019, security footage showed McGregor offering his whiskey brand to a patron in a Dublin bar.
06:02When he refused, McGregor shockingly punched him in the face.
06:05He's the one pouring the shots with his left hand.
06:07So that's his proper 12 whiskey that he created.
06:11However, the local man barely reacted and seemingly went back to drinking.
06:15While the internet exploded, mocking McGregor's weakest hit yet, he was fined 1,000 euro and forced to publicly apologize.
06:21The viral moments show the mixed martial artists that respect, unlike titles, can't always be won by force.
06:27Number 4.
06:28Shia LaBeouf's new low caught on body cam.
06:31If there's ever been a celebrity meltdown caught in HD, this was it.
06:35He's out of jail tonight on $7,000 bond.
06:38The actor has been arrested several times on similar charges.
06:41In 2017, police body cam footage from Savannah, Georgia, captured an intoxicated Shia LaBeouf hurling insults and shouting at officers after being arrested for public intoxication.
06:50He could be here berating officers, even threatening their jobs.
06:54I got more millionaire lawyers than you know what to do with, you stupid b****.
06:59The whole uncomfortable situation gave off I'm important and you're not vibes.
07:04Once the video was released, LaBeouf caught it his lowest point, apologizing and seeking treatment.
07:09The clip showed just how far some stars can fall when ego, substance abuse, and camera collide.
07:15Number 3.
07:15Justin Timberlake's arrest is a bitter twist of irony.
07:18Back in 2007, Justin Timberlake accepted a Brit Award and used his pre-recorded speech to throw some thinly veiled shade, warning a certain someone to stop drinking before they get sloppy.
07:30You know who you are, I'm speaking to you. Stop drinking, you're gonna get sloppy.
07:35He didn't name names, but everyone assumed it was aimed at his ex, Britney Spears.
07:40Fast forward to June 18, 2024, and that clip suddenly aged like milk.
07:45In the early hours of the morning in the Hamptons, Timberlake was arrested for driving while intoxicated.
07:50Timberlake had bloodshot glassy eyes, slowed speech, and was unsteady on his feet.
07:56The singer reportedly told officers he'd had just one martini, but refused three chemical tests.
08:01By the next day, his mugshot was everywhere, and the internet was serving up some serious poetic justice.
08:07Number 2.
08:14James Corden's restaurant drama.
08:16This is my last night with you.
08:22For the king of carpool karaoke and charm, this James Corden scandal hit a sour note, showing that the act doesn't always match the man.
08:30In 2022, the former Late Late Show host was banned from New York's famous Balthazar restaurant, after owner Keith McNally accused him of being extremely nasty to service over an order gone wrong.
08:41I've been walking around thinking that I hadn't done anything wrong.
08:43McNally even blasted him publicly on Instagram, calling him the most abusive customer in the restaurant's history.
08:49The last Monday, the owner of the restaurant had heard what happened, and he Instagrammed that I was banned from his restaurant for two offenses.
08:58One was a meal that I think was back in 2014, when I sent a dish back that had hair in it, and the other was last week.
09:06Corden eventually apologized on his network talk show, but the damage stuck.
09:11The internet seemingly turned on him, making it a career-worst moment for the British comedian.
09:15I hope I'm allowed in again one day, so when I'm back in New York, I can go there and apologize in person, which is something I will absolutely do.

09:391. Reese Witherspoon's Do You Know Who I Am attempt
09:45In 2013, America's sweetheart had a sour run-in with the law that proved a celebrity card doesn't always play.
09:52This has become Reese Witherspoon's most talked-about performance of the year,
09:56captured by a Georgia State Troopers dash cam and beamed around the world after being obtained by TMZ.
10:03You see, Reese Witherspoon was riding with her then-husband, Jim Toth, when he was pulled over in Atlanta for a suspected DUI.
10:10Reese reportedly got out the car against police instructions and dropped the infamous line,
10:15Do you know my name?
10:16Followed by the even worse, you're about to find out who I am.
10:20You know my name, sir?
10:21Don't need to know.
10:22You don't need to know my name?
10:23Not quite yet.
10:24Oh, really?
10:25Okay.
10:26You're about to find out who I am.
10:28That's fine.
10:28I'm not real worried about you, ma'am.
10:30I done told you how things work.
10:31Witherspoon later called the incident deeply embarrassing,
10:34but the moment stands as a perfect reminder that even Hollywood royalty isn't above the law.
10:39Not even Elle Woods herself.
10:41I have no idea what I was talking about, and I am so sorry.
10:45I was so disrespectful to him, and I have police officers in my family.
10:48I work with police officers every day.
10:50I know better.
