[Pop Bitch] Which celebrity charged a charity £16,000 for a one hour appearance?
They were asked afterwards if they would pose for some photos with the beneficiaries of the charity’s work.
They announced, “I don’t have time for that sh*t!” and stormed out.
BG Note: £16,000 = approximately $21,000 USD.

Please let this be David Beckham. Everybody in the UK hates him and his pointless family.

Just Harry & his money hungry wife Meghan? My first thought as the money was listed in pounds not dollars. They’ll do anything for a pound.
Scarlet Peaches says
Mr and Mrs Markle

Celebrity: I remember reading a story like this a few years ago though, with similar end result so it may well be the same person, but can’t remember who it was. I remember it was someone surprising though.
[Optional] Do you think that is right for celebrities to charge huge fees to appear at charity functions? As a rule – not sure. In general, I’d say expenses plus a little something would be OK, the more over that that’s charged the meaner it looks.
Baileygirl says
Meghan Markle and her husband.

The related blind is on Pete Davidson – maybe Davidson or Ariana? That much for an hour w either one is absurd. Why not just use money towards the charity? I really don’t understand charity fundraiser spending at all.
I don’t think it’s right to charge anything to appear at charity functions. Why don’t celebs just pick charities they believe in and support them without being paid in $$ or publicity?
Denzel donates to causes he believes in without attention or $$ for his time or contribution.

Victoria Beckham?

Hapless Harry

Outrageous to charge a Charity!!!!

Just Harry
mrw222 says
Celebrity – Don’t know, but am dying to because that is one scumbag I will not give an ounce of my time or money to if this turns out to be true. For a charity, a person should be willing to do this for no money at all!

Gordon Ramsey?

No idea who this is. That being said, the celebrities time is valuable too. Do i think they should charge a fee to appear at a charity function? Why not? No one forces the charity to pay them. If the charity feels the payment of the fee will increase their fundraising by an amount exceeding the fee – it might be a no brainer.
But if the celebrity supports the charity, and graciously appears at their events without a fee – that’s great. But in the case of the celeb ^ – no need to be…

I hope it’s Sam Smith. He’s so overrated.
DreamyVelvet says
Elton John.
He’s been a diva the past few years. Talking about his ex-wife that he deceived, then bullying her when she filed suit to shut him up. She was the epitome of class and decorum, never said word one about him, and he drug her through his mud.
Saaphiel says
No idea which celebrity.
Sadly, if you don’t offer a fee, there is no guarantee they will show up. You hope they will donate their fee, although I doubt that happened with this celeb. The right thing of course, is for a celebrity to actually believe in the cause and volunteer their time and likeness to help raise awareness. (don’t think that happens often either) But if a charity hires a celeb and doesn’t get the donations they thought they would… and suffers a ‘net loss’… then…
ILUVCA4evr says
Hmm..British pounds…..
“Celebrity”–Oh I’d love for this to be Markle
Do you think that is right for celebrities to charge huge fees to appear at charity functions? Nope. Kind of defeats the purpose of ‘charity’ don’t you think? Unless they donated it right back.

No idea but no it is not right to charge charities
anarchistlibrarian says
there are so many british celebrities where – living in northern north america – i’m, like, « WHO?!? » (so, yeah – i’ve NO idea who this could be… [many british celebrities don’t realise how provincial they are, & my parents are british, so…🤷🏻.])
that said, giving to charity and getting a tax break for it is one thing; actively CHARGING charities?! it’s despicable, and it’s a shame charities feel they have to pay for « star power » to attract donations. :/
jintylil says
Prince Harry or Meghan Markle
And no I don’t think they should.
kesangel says
Stormzy? If it’s true then that’s pretty *, definitely not doing it for ‘charity’
Sweetpea says
Must be the insufferable Megan and Harry…
TipToe74 says
David Beckham for the win….
Borzoi B says
Sounds like a Brit if it’s in £ so I’m going with Stormzy as well ! It does say “stormed out “!
lila8245 says
The start of this blind makes it sound like it’s one celebrity, but then it says “they” said and “they” did.
I’m going to say Harry and Meghan Markle. They sound like the type of people who will only do things that line their own pockets.
alexaj says
It’s Gemma Collins
ferretsrus says
This has got to be the Markles. Not surprising at all.
