[Bloomberg] By matter of corporate philosophy, every guest should feel like a VIP at The Plaza Hotel in New York City.
But a hierarchy still exists among those who check-in at reception.
At the top of the pyramid are kings, queens, and heads of state—or as butlers call them: V1s, and they are ever-present on the property.
Then come high-payers, long-stayers, guests booking a large block of rooms, and recognizable celebs. They’re called DVs, or distinguished visitors.
On the bottom of the VIP totem pole is the SA group, known complainers or otherwise difficult and demanding guests who require “special assistance.”
It’s a lot easier to get banned from the The Plaza Hotel than you might think.
The hotel has a strict anti-discrimination policy, and zero tolerance is given to guests who mistreat the staff because of race, gender, age, or creed.
Even now, guests sometimes request that staff of a certain ethnic extraction not be allowed to service their rooms; others will ask service members if they are legal in America.
The refusal of services goes all the way up the ladder to DVs.
At least two specific celebrities are permanently banned from The Plaza.
The first is a pop diva expelled for excessive drug and alcohol use and a belligerent attitude towards the staff.
The second is a sitcom star who took his anger issues out on a suite’s worth of furnishings.

I just feel as if someone ought to guess Katy Perry 🙂

The pop star had me stuck – I wanted to guess Amy Winehouse, but she was banned from the Savoy, not the Plaza. Britney was banned from the Chateau Marmont, and the Four Seasons.
Since anger issues is clearly Charlie Sheen and there have been two blinds about the Plaza, I’m guessing this could be from any era as someone has just retired and perhaps written a juicy book 🙂
So it has to be:
Pop star: Courtney Love
Anger issues: Charlie Sheen

STOMPING Diva – is Cardi B. She famously threw a shoe at Nikki Minaj at the Plaza, as well as other bad behavior.
Sitcom Star – is Charlie Sheen
Yeah I’d ban them. They are both trashy.
Mindflayer says
Because they do not give any mention of certain timelines here, it can be anyone. Heck, even Courtney Love (although, you would not count her as that, right?) to Demi Lovato be in the frame here.
Sitcom Star: Charlie Sheen.

I don’t know who the sitcom star could be
Yeah, I’d ban bigoted * and self important narcissists who got trashed and dared to trash a luxury hotel room. News flash sweeties.. you ain’t all that, and there are consequences for every action. Now.. go to your room, you’re grounded 😜
