The ultimate awkward moment.
Through my ~research~, I’ve discovered that celebs often reject other celebs when it comes to hugs, autographs, selfies, pictures, and more.
It’s a perplexing phenomenon — the celeb-to-celeb rejection — so here’s 16 times that happened. Enjoy:
1.
When Candace Cameron Bure said no to taking a picture with JoJo Siwa:

When The Real Housewives of New York City star Ramona Singer told Gizelle Bryant to get out of a group photo:

Jerry Seinfeld refused Kesha’s hug:
LAST NIGHT @KeshaRose found out @JerrySeinfeld is not a #Hugger — Is it hard to be a non-hugger in 2017?
Context: At the National Night of Laughter and Song in 2017, Jerry was approached by Kesha, who asked for a hug. He said no. Jerry later explained to Extra, “I don’t hug a total stranger.” Kesha talked about the incident with Sirius XM Hits. “I felt like I was 5 years old. Oh, I instantly was like, ‘Oh, fuck me!’ And I, like, somehow ended up in my very own episode — mini-episode — of Seinfeld for, like, five seconds.”
