Bruce Willis frightens female fan

By Alexandra Heilbron on September 18, 2009 | 95 Comments


Bruce Willis at fashion eventBruce Willis exploded when a female fan got up close and personal with him, according to Radar Online, which witnessed the incident. It happened in the backstage VIP lounge during a New York Fashion event last weekend. Willis was hanging out in a corner of the bar with new wife Emma Heming when several female fans approached him. Willis smiled as they took photos with their camera phones, but when one of them got too close and poked him in the shoulder, as a way of greeting him, he was furious. Radar Online reports: “He was visibly angry, leaned in very close to her and put his finger right in her face. He then said, ‘Don’t you EVER touch me, understand? The (former) fan appeared shocked and frightened.” Willis then turned to his posse, saying, “I need to leave” and they slipped out of the bar into the backstage area of the show.

    i’ve met him..he is an ass..and very egotistical..

  2. jeff • September 18, 2009 @ 10:09 AM

    so sorry . you do have to give them space and they are private .

  3. Craig • September 18, 2009 @ 10:40 AM

    I read somewhere she kicked him in the balls. Lucky guy!

  4. David • September 18, 2009 @ 11:24 AM

    Should we be surprised that a celebrity acted like a spoiled baby?

  5. alicia • September 18, 2009 @ 11:33 AM

    im not surprised that he acted like that but i’ve met alot of actors and they were always nice to me.of course it could be i have a broken leg

  6. Sierra • September 18, 2009 @ 12:17 PM

    While the fan was out of order, Brucie should have had better manners and reacted differently because all he was doing was showing his ignorance, don’t like him and I don’t care how good a movie is, if he is in it, I boycott it, he is an ass—-

  7. Greg • September 18, 2009 @ 12:23 PM

    Put yourself in the shoes of celebrities. If you were hounded constantly by paparazzi and fans and had absolutely no privacy, wouldn’t you be a little uptight when someone puts their hands on you? Granted, it may have been innocent, but I’m sure it would have upset anyone in the same position. I think he did the right thing by leaving afterwards because he risked a more heated confrontation if he stayed. Kudos to Bruce.

    Common People it was a poke..
    It wasn’t like she went up to him and slapped him on the back. I think he totally overreacted! It comes with the celebrity status that fans may approach you in different ways. I personally love Bruce Willis, but this did surprise me a little that he would react in this manner being a celebrity as long as he has. What more can i say? It’s a good thing she didn’t come up to him and hug him, he might have punched her in the face.

  10. L • September 18, 2009 @ 1:10 PM

    Poked him? I’d be irked too, I hate when people poke me. My friend’s daughter used to do that to me, I’d tell her to stop, she’d continue. So when I took her ice-skating, and she kept poking me, I eventually body checked her into the boards. Gingerly, but hard enough to say, no more.

    I think he was being very gratious up to that point.

    Yes they are celebrities, but they are allowed a life. If they’re having a meal, let them eat. If they’re at a game, whatever the sport, let ’em enjoy the game. I know being recognized is part of the territory, but at the end of the day, they too are mere mortals just like the rest of us, they just make a helluva lot more money. Acting is their job, and when they’re off-site, they are allowed a personal life.

    That said, I don’t think I’d want to piss Bruce Willis off.

  11. Sue • September 18, 2009 @ 1:41 PM

    He needs to get the hell over himself, who does he think he is anyway. No wonder Demi let him go!!!

  12. Deb • September 18, 2009 @ 1:55 PM

    I have met lots of stars and i do agree these poor people are hounded 24/7 I hate being poked myself. I have a few friends who are stars and have been out in public with them I have seen them get jumped by fans Literally, people treat them like they are public property and they have no respect for their privacy. it would really get on your nerves after awhile. I know it pissed me off when i was out with my friend and a crowd of fans pushed in between us and pushed him against a wall and shoved notebooks in his face and separated us from each other that really pissed me off we were just walking to dinner. we should not need body guards to walk to a restaurant a block away. it is crazy.

  13. D • September 18, 2009 @ 2:01 PM

    Some people just don’t like being touched without an invitation. It doesn’t matter who they are, but granted I think he should have been a bit more polite and simply said something like, “Please, I don’t like being touched.”

  14. Plan For A Wedding • September 18, 2009 @ 2:14 PM

    What an idiot! You know…I was a big fan, but when I hear stuff like this it really ticks me off. He is a celebrity–people are excited to meet you-it comes with the territory….Get over it!

    I mean gee, he has such a hard life…..

    Really shows what sort of person he is. I am really surprised & disappointed!

    Could you see George Clooney doing that?? Ummm No….
    Brad Pitt? Nope…

    What an idiot to do something like that…

    Fans are the ones that go to see these peoples movies and put food in their mouths and give them their lavish lifestyles…

    What a stupid PR move….

  15. Jade • September 18, 2009 @ 2:19 PM

    Whatever, if you don’t want to be hounded then don’t be a celebrity. All I’m saying is there is always pro’s and con’s with the things we choose to be. Bruce Willis + Fame = Constant hounding of fans and paparazzi. Bruce Willis + no fame = Average Joe. I get it with the whole personal space but come the hell on! You don’t treat your fans like crap. Man it’s like a majority of these celebs feed themselves with too many golden spoons.

  16. Eric • September 18, 2009 @ 2:20 PM

    How does this make him an ass.Do you honestly think he would walk over and poke you without your permission. Just because you know who he is doesn’t give you the right to touch him,or anyone for that matter.You entered his space and nobody is allowed in his space except his wife and kids. I know if somebody were to come up and poke me out of the blue,I would react as if it were an invitation to fight.

  17. Wendy • September 18, 2009 @ 3:29 PM

    I guess this is a wakeup call, most of it was uncalled for. She should of said; excuse me Mr. Willis instead of poking him like that. I don’t think she meant any harm, but he should of said to her, look please don’t poke me I don’t like that. So I believe he was to harsh on her, but it goes to show either way he wanted to be in show business this comes with the territory (fame)private person or not. But yes I understand that they are people like you and me, this was from a friend of mine who discovered Hilary Swank. I think he was not having a great night, but he realizes he went a bit far with it. Now all we have to do is wait for the apology.

  18. lambage • September 18, 2009 @ 3:34 PM

    The media doesn’t really do justice in their description of what happened. There’s 2 ways to look at this story:

    1. An innocent little tap on the shoulder met up with a “omg I’m the best, don’t touch”

    2. “He’s not paying attention to me, I’m going to continue poking him until he finally turns around” met up with “lady, wtf, leave me alone”

    Situation 1 makes him look assy, situation 2 makes him look human.

  19. Leanne • September 18, 2009 @ 4:01 PM

    Since when is poking someone an appropriate way to approach ANY stranger for an introduction? Especially backstage in a VIP Lounge, where there is an expectation of privacy! The gawkers should never have been allowed access to that area to begin with…Clearly they weren’t VIP’s also, or they would have conducted themselves more appropriately. I’d have been pissed too. He should have poked her right back!

  20. jane • September 18, 2009 @ 4:31 PM

    the only reason he is where he is , is because of his fans. He has the same responsibilities to society as everybody else, and he falls short.but then, everybody makes mistakes.What matters is, does he repeat the same mistakes over and over. What would happen if he was ignored???

  21. Sir Theodore Jones • September 18, 2009 @ 4:37 PM

    Bruce Willis comes across as a total egotistical asshole. He puts himself in vulnerable positions whereby fans feel they can approach him and then gets a kick out of knocking them down in public. He is so caught up in his self importance. Does anyone ever hear of Bruce Willis doing anything for chariety?? Does he ever give back to the fans that have supported him all these years ?? You read this shit about him and next movie he comes out with I will boycotte it.

  22. Nancy • September 18, 2009 @ 5:23 PM

    I can’t stand people who think that it is NOT okay to touch someone. Like, who the f@@@ do you think you are anyways? Hitting..okay, that’s wrong. Poking…depends? Touching or to tap ones shoulder…totally acceptable. But, do two wrongs make a right? Is it okay for him in turn, to stick his finger right in her face and say “Don’t you EVER touch me, understand?”? No, it’s not. If he feels he has a right to personal space then, she should have the same right. This world is going freaking crazy with all this “no touching” BS. We’re not robots, touching is a way of communicating. The schools especially take things too far with the “no touching”. I could care less if someone touches or pokes me…as long as they don’t keep poking. Then again, I’m not a stuck up beyotch either.

  23. Ximena • September 18, 2009 @ 9:25 PM

    HE’S AN ASS AND AN IDIOT, L YOU SAY HOW THEY NEED TIME FOR THEMSELVES AND THAT THEY ARE MERE MORTALS, WELL YOUR FORGETTING ONE IMPORTANT THING, WHO PUT THEM THERE? IT WAS THE FAN AND THAT IS WHY THEY MAKE SO MUCH MONEY, IF IT WEREN’T FOR THE FANS, THEY BE DOING EVERYDAY NORMAL JOB, LIKE THE FANS, I THINK HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE SITUATION IN ANOTHER MANNER, NO MORE BRUCE WILLIS FOR ME.

  24. Sarah • September 18, 2009 @ 9:43 PM

    She got what she deserved. Fans have to stop pretending they know celebrities well enough to invade their personal space. I think it’s pathetic how many of you decided to boycott Bruce Willis because of an isolated incident.

  25. BuzzAddict • September 18, 2009 @ 10:30 PM

    I think HE was out of line…she just poked him…no weapon, in a non-threatening way….please.

    He really was being an ass.

  26. mandee • September 18, 2009 @ 10:33 PM

    nancy, i agree with your logic 100% !! imagine, someone walks up and pokes one of US for something and we freaked out that way? talk about immature.

  27. demigod • September 18, 2009 @ 10:56 PM

    Wrong again Nance..she invaded his space, by getting ‘up close and personal’, so she gave up her right for her personal space. Now sticking your finger in someone else’s face and yelling is another matter.

  28. Nancy • September 18, 2009 @ 11:04 PM

    I’m serious. It’s getting really crazy and out of hand. People getting mad, others punished, some sued because someone got touched. When my son was in kindergarten, 2 little 4 year old best friend females hugged and they got in trouble from the teacher!! They were warned that there is to be absolutely no contact, to keep their hands to themselves. I couldn’t freaking believe it! What is the world coming to?

    If the (former…hahahaha, I like how they wrote that) fan appeared “shocked and frightened”, then she obviously did not poke him in an aggressive manner. I seriously believe that Bruce went way too far with this. I think maybe if this is how he acts when he’s been drinking that he needs to lay off the sauce then! And for those who say that he deserves personal space, well, he shouldn’t get in others faces then either. He ‘needed to leave’ BEFORE it went as far as it did. I think I heard before that he and Demi used to live in and practically own a little town before and all the residents hated them…mostly him. Wonder why? Probably was drunk as a skunk every night with his finger stuck in someones face!

  29. Nancy • September 18, 2009 @ 11:07 PM

    “Wrong again”, demigod…two wrongs don’t make a right.

  30. demigod • September 19, 2009 @ 12:04 AM

    He was not wrong to be in her personal space. She was willing to get up close and personal, so how could it be wrong for him? What followed was taken too far. Understand?

  31. lee kyle • September 19, 2009 @ 12:19 AM

    I blame the papparazzi for half of the celebrities being this way with people in general. I mean watching you tube or trz videos of Brittany Speers or Paris Hilton trying to leave a club and they are all around the car and preety much on top of the car and they can t even pull out to leave. its ridiculous! Look what they did to Lady Diana for god’s sake. and another thing in defense of Bruce Willis in this circumstance, you dont know what kind of mood he was in at the time or if he has recieved threating letters from persay a stalker. I mean if i was famous and i recieved lets say a threating letter from someone out there i would be a little jumpy as well. Now i dont agree with his conduct either however you dont treat girls like that he should no better.

  32. Rita • September 19, 2009 @ 2:24 AM

    I wasn’t going to comment but I felt I had to. He should’ve reacted with more finesse and she Shouldn’t have touched him without his permission. Its as simple as that. I decided at 1st to go to his recent movie coming out and then didn’t want to because I saw the Preview a 2nd time. Now that there are less supporters over such an incident, I will go to his movie to continue to support him. No one reacts 100% good all the time.

  33. Sarah • September 19, 2009 @ 3:36 AM

    Nancy, stop talking like you were there and know Bruce Willis on a personal level. You were not there and you do not know Bruce Willis. Your personal opinions about how he handled the situation don’t mean $#!t. Stop thinking of this situation from your own perspective. Bruce Willis is a celebrity. They have to deal with stupid fans all the time like this. It is NOT alright to just go and touch someone, celebrity or not. You’re living in a dream world if you think touching people you don’t know is alright. Touching someone like that can easily be taken as assault depending on the circumstances. Bruce Willis would have been justified in doing a lot more than just telling her off a little bit. He could have reacted differently but he is human just like the rest of us. Cut him some slack. I’m sure you would want the same if you were experiencing the aftermath of a similar situation.

  34. stelli • September 19, 2009 @ 3:44 AM

    well,,,,,she should know better than go “poke” a celebrity.

  35. mandee • September 19, 2009 @ 11:31 AM

    sarah “Your personal opinions about how he handled the situation don��t mean $#!t” EITHER. it SHOULD be ok to touch someone (without it causing physical harm)and not be treated rudely. i agree with nancy, the world is getting to be a disgusting place when children cant even hug one another, or a teacher can not hug a child for fear of being charged with something stupid. “Cut him some slack.” how can you be so hypocritical? did you “cut” nancy “some slack” when you wrote your comment? you sure didnt. perhaps if ignorant people such as yourself “cut” more of the NORMAL people in this world “some slack” then it would encourage others to do the same for celebs that dont mean anything to them. man, i HATE hypocrisy. it irritates me to no end. how can you treat one person badly (nancy) but expect her to treat everyone shes ever met or heard of with respect and kindness and sympathy?

  36. Brian • September 19, 2009 @ 5:20 PM

    I don’t blame him for going off on her I would have done the same they are just people also. What kind of person would poke someone else……Good for you Bruce….

  37. Nancy • September 19, 2009 @ 8:33 PM

    Thanks mandee.

    Sarah: I never said or insinuated that I was there or know Bruce Willis on a personal level….did I? I also never said that I didn’t either…so how the hell would you know anything about me? So, stop talking like you know me. Your opinion is that “it is NOT alright to just go and touch someone” and my opinion is that it is alright. I was stating my opinion…not trying to FORCE it on you. If you don’t agree with others opinions, that’s fine but ya don’t have to be a beyotch about it! You say “Touching someone like that can easily be taken as assault, depending on the circumstances”. It is people like you, with that mentality, that is sending this world spiralling out of control. All people think about nowadays is suing someone else for something; what they can get. It is a society of selfish people who only know how to think about “me, me, me”. No one cares about anyone else anymore…heck, they’ve all been taught not to care; not to show emotions; not to communicate. No wonder why there are so many divorces and people seeking counselling for personal problems. I do wonder though, what more you feel he should have done rather than just telling her off and that he would be justified in doing..?

    Demigod: It’s really not that hard to comprehend what I’m saying, is it? I know that she got in his personal space first….but, if he has a problem with people getting in HIS personal space, he shouldn’t get in theirs either…before OR after. Understand? You sound like a three year old…”Well, she did it first”. We do agree on the fact that he went a little too far though.

  38. Sarah • September 19, 2009 @ 9:56 PM

    Mandee, try to think about the situation logically instead of getting all emotional. Just because YOU think it should be alright to touch someone doesn’t make it so. Don’t call me a hypocrite. If I’m a hypocrite than so are you. I was merely trying to enlighten Nancy and anyone else with the same flawed logic. I was also defending Bruce Willis because he can’t defend himself on this stupid comment page while people like Nancy and yourself slander his name.

  39. Natalie • September 19, 2009 @ 9:57 PM

    Sarah, I completely agree with you. Those two girls were way out of line.

  40. Crissa • September 19, 2009 @ 10:10 PM

    Mandee, how can you say Sarah is ignorant and not normal because her opinion is different from yours? Is everyone else who commented ignorant and not normal because their opinions don’t coincide with yours? Why are you so hypocritical and judgmental?

  41. mandee • September 20, 2009 @ 12:27 AM

    Sarah on September 19, 2009 9:56 PM i called him IMMATURE for over reacting to an innocent “poke”. why would he need to defend that? also, emotional? ahahaha ! thats a laugh and a half. i dont get emotional over online shit. and the one time i did i admitted it. how do you suppose im a “hypocrite”?? for defending nancy when you jumped down her throat? funny, i also defended the innocent woman whos throat bruce jumped down because he didnt like what she did/said. you ARE hypocritical.

    Crissa on September 19, 2009 10:10 PM shes ignorant because she isnt basing her argument on any facts. who can honestly tell someone their “opinion doesnt mean shit” and yet you will still defend her?

  42. Sarah • September 20, 2009 @ 3:46 AM

    Mandee, you’re a hypocrite for the same reason you are calling me one. You’ve done exactly to me what I’ve done to Nancy. You obviously got emotional if you’re defending Nancy when this has nothing to do with you. Nancy can speak for herself. I am not ignorant either. I based my argument on the fact that you and Nancy were not there when this event occurred and you do not know Bruce Willis yet you are so hasty in bashing him over an isolated incident. That is why I said you should cut him some slack. Let’s just leave it at that, alright?

  43. DeMamaBee • September 20, 2009 @ 6:29 AM

    I’ve always been a huge fan of Bruce Willis’ style of acting, but I would never presume that I “know” him just because I’ve seen some of his movies. To walk up and poke him( a stranger to you ) to get his attention is asking for trouble. its akin to saying “hey I’m here” and is the worst kind of rude.
    Although he probably could have responded differently he is only human and perhaps he felt a bit threatened.
    would you be polite to someone poking you? or better yet..
    Would you walk up to some random person at a bus stop and “poke” him just because you see him once in while at the same bus stop?
    I doubt it

  44. Minerva • September 20, 2009 @ 10:59 AM

    Part of being social is being able to respect the boundaries of others and keep from entering their “space” by maintaining good proximity while approaching and communicating. Touching people in public or private is never acceptable without first having permission to do so. Pick pockets do their best work by touching someone somewhere on their body while removing a wallet. It’s understandable that especially wealthy people would get edgy when being touched by strangers.

    And I wonder if the fan was as frightened as his new wife was after having a sneak preview of his display of temper and sticking his finger in that woman’s face, now knowing that she has his finger sticking in her own face to look forward to during future disagreements.

  45. Bebe • September 20, 2009 @ 11:19 AM

    Who ever says that poking is alright, I just think you guys are the ones that pokes people. I also think that you are trying to defend yourselves too. Who do you guys think you are to say that its ok to bascically poke “ME”. We are living in a age where you could poke someone and get shot or stabbed for it. I dont give anyone (stranger) permission to poke or touch me unless you approch me by saying “excuse me”, or getting my attention by getting into my eye vision. Suppose if that person that you poked had visible skin with maybe open wounds by scratching or somthing, (just saying) and you have a cut, and thoes two open wounds touch eachother…. ok u know what im trying to get to. Person could be scared of germs. Im just trying to say, if you dont want to get embaressed that its not appropriate to be touching somones’s personal space. “sorry for any mistakes”

  46. mandee • September 20, 2009 @ 11:33 AM

    Sarah on September 20, 2009 3:46 AM nope, still not emotional or a hypocrite. you still are though, do YOU personally know bruce? were YOU there to see what happened? no, but yet you are turning your back on a frightened woman for some movie star you will never have the chance of knowing. that makes YOU a hypocrite. i was only defending nancy because a) i was bored b) i hate people that act like nancy or others dont matter because they simply didnt like their opinion and c) youre new here me and nancy are regulars. im sure if you had of said the same thing to me nancy would have had SOMETHING to say back to you.

    DeMamaBee on September 20, 2009 6:29 AM i bet if you DID go up and poke someone at a bus stop, he wouldnt react as badly as bruce did. how would he have felt threatened when it was a WOMAN that poked him?

    Minerva on September 20, 2009 10:59 AM i admire your comment, although i still do not agree. if you arent physically harming someone i dont understand why poking is such a big deal, ive heard on the radio many times about people walking over to pregnant women and rubbing their stomach without asking. they dont freak out and be rude to the people.

    Bebe on September 20, 2009 11:19 AM first of all, i have never poked anyone my voice is loud enough to get me noticed, second of all, we are talking about someone poking you i doubt they would have an open wound or sore on the tip of their finger and would touch your shoulder which is clothed and somehow touch an open wound or sore and give you some type of disease through your shirt.

    just because it seems a few of the people on this site are hostile enough to actually get angry over someone politely touching them, doesnt mean the rest of the world carries that same amount of bitterness or hostility. if any of you would react the same way that bruce did, it makes me wonder what type of relationships you have with other people. minerva said it best “And I wonder if the fan was as frightened as his new wife was after having a sneak preview of his display of temper and sticking his finger in that woman��s face, now knowing that she has his finger sticking in her own face to look forward to during future disagreements.” i wonder, sarah, if you treat people you dont know as badly as bruce does, or if you reserve it to simply the people you DO know? but, i guess your comments to total strangers on a gossip site make that answer pretty clear, dont you?

  47. Bebe • September 20, 2009 @ 12:28 PM

    All i am saying is that you never know,I know its not likely that somthing like that could happen and yes they could be wearing a bathing suit or no shirt or a tube top. There are alot of germs that is going around and maybe if you keep your hands to yourself there could be less germs. People needs to think out of the box jeeezzzz… If your voice is loud enough, then use that instead of poking someone. Would you want someones dirty hands touch you or poke you. Money is dirty why?bcause ppl makes money dirty. People uses the washroom and dont wash their hands, people coughs, pick their nose, ears, a#$ etc and still goes ahead and pokes or touch ppl. For that reason, if I dont know you (stranger) I wouldnwant to be touch. Maybe that’s why he took it so sserious. We all dont know why he acted that way towards that lady.

    All of us wernt there. As ‘Lambage” said there are alot of different ways it could of happen that the paparazzi is not letting us know. They could be leaving out some parts of the story. Yes maybe it was a bit over board on the way he acted, but maybe it was a bunch of ppl that day that poked him, or maybe he was having a bad day at that, and when that lady poked him he took it out on her. She just never had no right touching him in the first place. Im sure she has a voice like you that she could of used that day.
    About the pregnant mother’s letting ppl rub their bellys. I heard that’s another way of people giving them bad luck with their pregnancy and that is why some mother’s dont like certain people rubing their bellys. For instance, whoever that believes in voodo.

  48. whatever • September 20, 2009 @ 1:30 PM

    whatever.

  49. Sarah • September 20, 2009 @ 1:33 PM

    Mandee, you obviously don’t know what hypocrite means because you are doing the exact same things you’re accusing me of. “Turning your back on a frightened woman”? I’ve never met this person just like I’ve never met Bruce Willis and I wasn’t there. This doesn’t make me a hypocrite. I just stated my opinion like everyone else. I think the fan was out of line. Period. Don’t assume you know how I treat people because I stated my opinion to Nancy, who was bashing Bruce Willis. I treat everyone with the utmost respect except when they are stepping on toes like the fan with Bruce Willis, Nancy, and you.

  50. Liz • September 20, 2009 @ 1:38 PM

    I wonder how far Mandee would let a stranger go before she actually defended herself.

  51. Larissa • September 20, 2009 @ 1:42 PM

    Mandee talks about people being bitter and hostile but Mandee and Nancy are the same. Mandee, I think you should look up hypocrisy in the dictionary yourself.

  52. gypsy • September 20, 2009 @ 2:04 PM

    O.K. I wasn’t going to comment on this article,but I feel that something has been overlooked.There are usually 2 sides to every story,in this case I believe there are 4 sides to this article.1 BRUCES 2 THE GIRLS 3 THE NEW WIFES AND 4 THE REPORTERS WHICH WE HAVE READ. We all know that the reporters always sensationalize a story so it goes to print, therefore I AM GONNA RESERVE MY JUDGEMENT, until I see what the others involved, say about this incident.I WILL SAY THIS IF I WERE YOUNGER AND SOME BROAD PUT HER FINGER ON MY MAN I WOULD HAVE GOT UP AND KICKED THE F@@KING SH@T OUTTA HER.Remember people I said younger,as in the age between 12yrs to say 20yrs old.Perhaps Bruce did and said what he did to the chick to appease his new wife, so she wouldn’t blast his a$$ when they got home.Some woman are very jealous and territorial when it comes to their men!!O MY GAWCH I DON’T BELIEVE I JUST WROTE THAT.Before the bashing begins remember I’M going through MENTAL-PAUSE for real LOL!!!!

  53. Bebe • September 20, 2009 @ 2:09 PM

    Liz, I was wondering the same thing.

  54. Nancy • September 20, 2009 @ 2:21 PM

    I totally agree with mandee. I also find it quite strange that ALL OF A SUDDEN, there are a bunch of new names…ALL mandee and Nancy bashers…posting within minutes of each other. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

    Anyways, yeah Sarah, the poking lady, mandee and myself are the ones “stepping on toes” who don’t deserve your respect…you save it all for Bruce (totally bass ackwards as far as I’m concerned!)

    Liz: It just goes to show how IMPATIENT the rest of you are and how much patience mandee and I have. I really don’t feel that people need to “defend” themselves from an innocent poke…which leads us right into Larissa’s comment about mandee and I being “bitter and hostile”….hahahahahaha, what a joke, Larissa!!

    Btw, I commented yesterday about Sarah’s behaviour on this article and to tell her that I never said or insinuated that I knew Bruce Willis, but I guess there was a word or two in there that didn’t slip through the detectors, LMAO! So, that comment is still awaiting moderation…I’ll let Sarah know if and when it comes through! Till then, I’d like to suggest that people communicate, even if that means poking someone; keep your cool; don’t stick your fingers in other peoples faces…unless they poked you in the eye and last but not least….lay off the booze so you don’t act like an @$$!!

    LIZ…WRONG THING TO SAY ABOUT MANDEE.SEPT 20 AT 1.38PM

    LARISSA…SEPT 20 AT 1.42PM NEITHER NANCY OR MANDEE ARE BITTER OR HOSTILE UNLESS PROVOKED!!!BAD MOVE ON THE DICTIONARY PART,I DO BELIEVE YOU MAY HAVE JUST OPENED UP ANOTHER CAN OF WORMS!!!ONLY 2 PEOPLE THROW THAT INTO THEIR COMMENTS ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!

  56. Nancy • September 20, 2009 @ 2:40 PM

    My guess is:

    whatever; Sarah; Liz and Larissa….all one person, making 4 posts in 12 minutes. You need to be a little smarter than that! LMAO.

  57. Nancy • September 20, 2009 @ 2:43 PM

    Oh, and I have to add that, the last time this ‘whatever’ person posted a comment about the writer of these articles here on Tribute (about a week ago) and I questioned what he/she was talking about, a bunch of strange names came on then too and started with the bashing.

  58. Sarah • September 20, 2009 @ 2:47 PM

    Nancy, I think you’re getting a little paranoid lol. Maybe Nancy, Mandee, and Gypsy are the same person. LMAO!

  59. gypsy • September 20, 2009 @ 2:48 PM

    NANCY I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING ESPECIALLY AFTER THE DICT REMARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’m taking the 5th on my comment!!!!lol

  60. Nancy • September 20, 2009 @ 2:50 PM

    Gypsy: Hahaha!

    Sarah: ‘whatever’ you say, LOL. Which alias do you prefer to be called? Would it happen to be Cindy from the Sept 11, 2009 Uma Thurman article?

  61. gypsy • September 20, 2009 @ 2:53 PM

    OH SARAH I NEVER GET PARANOID,I GET EVEN!!BIG F##KEN DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!

  62. Sarah • September 20, 2009 @ 3:06 PM

    Gypsy and Nancy posted within minutes of each other! They’re the same person! LOL! Man is this gossip page gay!

  63. Nancy • September 20, 2009 @ 3:12 PM

    ‘whatever’

    hahahaha

  64. Nancy • September 20, 2009 @ 3:13 PM

    We posted within minutes of you too…GASP!!!!

  65. Sarah • September 20, 2009 @ 3:21 PM

    I think we are all the same person having arguments with ourselves! Ha ha ha. Wouldn’t that be messed up for any outside parties reading all this? LOL! I don’t get the ‘whatever’ joke though…

  66. c • September 20, 2009 @ 3:32 PM

    both were tom blame, Willis, you’re in public,what do you want? Fan,give a little space and try a differant approach.

  67. gypsy • September 20, 2009 @ 3:38 PM

    Sarah Have you bothered to read MY comment at 2.04pm I think not as I’m RESERVING judgement until someone other than a reporter,gives their side of story.I SUGGEST you go back and read other articles before you accuse people of being the same person!!!I DO BELIEVE YOUR JUST A YOUNG PUNK TRYING TO BE WONDERCHILD!!!!!

  68. gypsy • September 20, 2009 @ 3:49 PM

    NANCY AND MANDEE…Remember I’m taking the 5Th on my comments and I’m really GYPSY, don’t forget MENTAL-PAUSE is a total mind fu@@-up too!!!!

  69. Sarah • September 20, 2009 @ 3:50 PM

    Gypsy, Nancy accused me of being ‘whatever’, Liz, and Larissa at 2:40pm and then you agreed with her at 2:48pm. I read your comment at 2:04pm but what’s your point? Are you proving that you’re not Nancy? Well, I was just joking around because you guys were saying I was these other people. This is my first time posting comments on this site and I’m acting alone. I just found it funny that you guys thought I was these other people. I respect you for reserving judgement on the whole Bruce Willis thing by the way.

  70. gypsy • September 20, 2009 @ 3:59 PM

    Sarah…”whatever” posted today at 1.30pm

  71. gypsy • September 20, 2009 @ 4:30 PM

    Sarah My comment at 2.48pm was about another person who usually stick’s her foot in her mouth all the time.It was not about you at all.I don’t say anyones name until they are on this site,and so far IT isn’t.

  72. demigod • September 20, 2009 @ 4:36 PM

    Sarah, you said it..all so gay.

  73. Nancy • September 20, 2009 @ 6:31 PM

    Awe, come on, demigod. You should know that all this lady was trying to do was get Bruce into bed so that she could have his baby and a free meal ticket for the rest of her life. And poor Bruce, would have just been making a “MISTAKE” for him. Poor thing. Must be so hard being a man. LMAO!

  74. tributegirl • September 20, 2009 @ 6:50 PM

    She shouldn’t have poked him, not that I think people shouldn’t ever touch, but poking is really annoying for a lot of people. But, I also think he waaaay overreacted. Just like many people on here.

  75. mandee • September 20, 2009 @ 7:13 PM

    Sarah on September 20, 2009 1:33 PM nope, youre still a hypocrite. you have no respect for anyone that you dont deem “worthy” of respect, which if you ask me is pretty low!

    Liz on September 20, 2009 1:38 PM i would allow a stranger to poke me, or tap me. what does that have to do with “how far” i will let them go? are you really that “bitter” and “hostile” you wouldnt allow a bit of human contact without reacting like a bear that hasnt eaten in 6 years?

    Larissa on September 20, 2009 1:42 PM im not bitter, or hostile. also, i know the definition of hypocrisy, do you? next time try the definition of “idiot”. suits you well…im sure im not the only one that agrees.

    Nancy on September 20, 2009 2:21 PM you and i are totally on the same page here. glad to know theres a few of us normal people left 😉 also, find it strange that aprilshowers seems to have disappeared? im sure theres a few others missing, cant quite place who they were though! all mandee or nancy haters, coincidence?

    gypsy on September 20, 2009 2:32 PM thanks, and great comment !

    Nancy on September 20, 2009 6:31 PM lmfao hahahahaha well, she sure picked a hell of a time to try to procreate with bruce, when his new wife was around! no wonder he was soo angry ahaha.

    for those of you “idiots” and “uninformed” people out there, heres the definition of a hypocrite

    a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

    to defend one person on one article by stating that no one is 100% perfect and then to go on another article about someone who had sex with a woman and got her pregnant, well after his marriage ended and demand you will never support him or whatever the stupid statement was IS hypocritical because how can you condemn one person for making a mistake but defend another for making a mistake that actually CAUSED emotional damage?

  76. mandee • September 20, 2009 @ 7:18 PM

    also, the fact that anyone would EVER in their life time think that someone who has a one night stand and gets someone pregnant is WORSE than someone who freaks out and yells at someone else just shows why the world is so screwed up. having unprotected sex ONCE and making a baby with someone you didnt know doesnt hurt anyone. (especially not the EX WIFE and kids, he didnt cheat on her or ruin their lives by sleeping with someone else) yelling at someone, pointing your finger in their face, humiliating them and treating them as if they are a child does emotional damage. the fact that he talked with other fans and whatnot should have given this girl the right to tap him (aka poke him) to get her chance to talk as well. i wonder how those of you that are defending the nancy/mandee hater can not see that?

  77. demigod • September 20, 2009 @ 7:36 PM

    Nance, keep your hands to yourself.
    Another brain-teaser for you..do you think female celebs would have more of a prob with being poked? Don’t sweat it, it’s not a right or wrong answer, so don’t strain yourself haha

  78. Nancy • September 20, 2009 @ 7:46 PM

    What exactly are you on, demigod? I think you need a higher dose of ‘whatever’ it is, hahaha. Some female celebs do have a problem with being touched just as men do. Just not long ago there was an article on here…you must remember, where Hayden Panettiere freaked out on a pap. photographer for tapping her on the shoulder. Maybe she and Bruce should hook up. LMFAO!

  79. demigod • September 20, 2009 @ 7:58 PM

    If I was a celeb (would be ‘sexiest’ to you) and you poked me, I’d have you escorted out of the building by security.

  80. whatever • September 20, 2009 @ 8:00 PM

    hey WTF, IM WHATEVER. and no I don’t put in comments under other names you nerds. get a life. sheesh.

  81. Sarah • September 20, 2009 @ 10:21 PM

    Mandee on September 20, 2009 7:13 PM You don’t know me. You’re accusing me of this because I gave your friend Nancy a hard time a while back. How can you expect respect when you don’t show anyone else respect except Nancy and Gypsy? Don’t call people hypocrites when you are treating so many people on this page like crap. Please stop calling me a hypocrite let this go.

  82. mandee • September 20, 2009 @ 11:06 PM

    well, considering me and nancy have never been “friends” lol. also, i deserve as much respect as your hero bruce willis does. i will be nice to whoever is nice to me, you may seem to notice that demigod and others have differing opinions than mine, but since they arent being rude or hateful neither am i. respect from me is a 2 way street, when you start giving me respect i will consider giving you some. also, dont tell me what to do. i will call whoever i want, whatever i want, whenever i want. if you dont like it honey, theres always other gossip sites you can go to with people im SURE would love to kiss your ass. but youve picked the wrong girl here, i never kiss ass.

  83. Nancy • September 20, 2009 @ 11:44 PM

    Sarah Sept. 20 @ 10:21 PM: When did you ever give me “a hard time”? And…how long of “a while back”? Just because mandee agrees with gypsy and myself (on CERTAIN articles) doesn’t mean we are the only ones she respects. She usually agrees with/gets along with Tributegirl, Jo-WAnne, Demigod, etc., etc.

    “Your personal opinions about how he handled the situation don’t mean $#!t”

    Ditto! Same as your personal opinions about how mandee, gypsy or myself handle this situation. 😉

  84. mandee • September 21, 2009 @ 7:54 AM

    😀 thanks nancy. hope you have a great day, im heading off to work now !

  85. Nancy • September 21, 2009 @ 10:17 AM

    Okay Sarah, my original comment to you no longer awaits moderation. It is Sept. 19 @ 8:33 PM.

  86. mandee • September 21, 2009 @ 7:30 PM

    i like that post a lot.

  87. Sarah • September 21, 2009 @ 10:40 PM

    Nancy, I read your post on September 18, 2009 11:04 PM before mine on September 19, 2009 3:36 AM and your post on September 19, 2009 8:33 PM. Although we don’t agree on the touching Bruce Willis thing, I apologize for saying your opinions didn’t mean $#!t. Mandee, I apologize for anything negative I said to you as well.

  88. Shauna • September 22, 2009 @ 12:30 AM

    i agree hes gone to far an she shouldnt poke people

  89. mandee • September 22, 2009 @ 7:51 AM

    thanks, and i apologize for being so mean to you. i just wanted to get my point across.

  90. Nancy • September 22, 2009 @ 9:46 AM

    Accepted, Sarah. And I’m sorry for being rude with you as well. Just glad that we can agree to disagree. Totally fine with me. 😀

  91. Richard • September 22, 2009 @ 4:16 PM

    I’m not surprised that he acted like that since I never really liked him to begin with.

  92. mandee • September 22, 2009 @ 8:42 PM

    richard, he acted like that because you never really liked him to begin with? 😛

  93. Michele • September 24, 2009 @ 7:43 PM

    Hi,

    I just thought I should add to this discussion because it seems to be getting pretty heated on both sides. But the truth is that I think that we don’t really have enough information to really judge the situation in the first place.

    To begin with, it makes a difference whether the fan “poked” or “tapped” Bruce. Poking makes it sound like she persistently or agressively poked him to get his attention – which could be taken as agravating and even insulting. In which case, I think Bruce’s reaction is more understandable because if someone was persistently poking me (escpecially if I was having a bad day – and was maybe at the bar to calm down). Yet, even then I probably wouldn’t have that reaction. I think that while celebrities are people who deserve their space, they are also professionals who understand that fans can often have lapses in judgement. Since they are the best people to know and have experienced fans who lose their mind around them, they should be used to dealing with them and dealing with them in a manner appropriate of the role model position that they hold (especially seasoned actors/celebrities like Bruse Willis).

    However, if the fan only tapped Bruce’s shoulder to get his attention, then his reaction was completely unwarranted. In that case, I have to draw comparison to every day life. We come in contact everyday with people and if someone is faced away from you, sometimes you politely tap on their shoulder to get their attention – after all, you are behind them and there is no way for them to know you are there unless you either say something like “Excuse me” or tap them on the shoulder. I know that some people think a tap is not nice, but I think that if you do it in a polite way, then it is completely appropriate (especially in possibly loud situations like restaurants and bars). Also, I have to add here that people who are deaf often use tapping as a means of getting other people’s attention, so what if the girl had been deaf and Bruce acted in the manner that he did – I don’t think anyone would condone that.

    So, I have to say that I don’t think that Bruce’s reaction was warranted – I still think he could have handled it better. However, the agressiveness of the poke/tap could influence our opinion of his reaction.

  94. Jo-Anne • September 29, 2009 @ 11:12 AM

    hi gypsy…believe you’re waiting for me…wait is over…do your best and wake me when it’s done…oh, on second thought I don’t want to rival Rip Van Winkle….

    sarah…refreshing…

  95. Nancy • September 29, 2009 @ 5:03 PM

    Jo-WAnne…leech…
