Gabourey Sidibe Rude To Fans At White House Correspondents Dinner
It seems like Gabourey Sidibe left some fans feeling offended after the recent White House Correspondents dinner in Washington. The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capeheart said that the Oscar nominated actress had little time, or grace, for her fans at the dinner. Capeheart describes his experience with Sidibe,
I was thrilled to spot her at a table laughing uproariously with the man sitting to her right. ‘I know you’re having a good time and I’m sorry to interrupt,’ I began. My next sentence didn’t come out because Sidibe shouted over the din, ‘Yeah, come back in five minutes!’ Thinking she was joking, I laughed and pretended to walk away. When I noticed that the look in her eyes meant she was serious, I walked back to her and said, ‘I just wanted to congratulate you on your nomination. I thought your performance was spectacular. I even wrote a column about it.’ After wishing her good luck, I rejoined my friends.”
Capeheart relates another, similar, experience that a colleage of his had,
She told me that she saw Sidibe at the pre-cocktails and told her that she’d seen “Precious” three times…and that she thought Sidibe’s performance was “incandescent.” What was Sidibe’s response? ‘I guess I should say, ‘Thank you.’ ‘ “
It must be hard for a young woman to go from relative to obscurity to being a sought after public figure in such a short amount of time. But, it is also important to remember, and be considerate to, your fans. What do you think? Does the actress’s behavious seem rude to you?
