Hannah Waddingham
At the Olivier Awards in 2024, Ted Lasso star Hannah, 50, scolded a snapper when they made a request.
Posing up a storm before heading inside the event, Hannah was asked to "show her leg", which infuriated her.
"Oh my God, you'd never say that to a man, my friend," she said to the photographer.
She then said: "Don't be a dick or I'll move off. Don't say, 'show your leg'."

Walking away, Hannah then turned around, pointed at the snapper and sternly warned: "Have some manners."
Miley Cyrus
At a red carpet Avengers event in 2019, Miley Cyrus and her then-husband Liam Hemsworth were seen embroiled in a tense exchange.
"Could you behave for once?" asked Liam after Miley pretended to lick him in a fun and flirty way.
Miley then scrunched up her face and moved around.
Liam then put his hand on Miley's stomach, to which she grabbed his hand and pushed it away.
Walking away, Liam left Miley standing on her own as she posed and grinned wider than ever before.
Also in 2019 at a different event, Miley grinded on Liam when asked a question on the red carpet.
"What's a dance number between the two of you look like?" a reporter asked the couple.
Miley then began to grind on Liam but he shut her down and said: "No, no, we're not doing this. Not on the carpet."
Miley and Liam got married in December 2018 before splitting the following year.
They separated in August 2019 and finalized their divorce in January 2020, citing irreconcilable differences.
Chappell Roan
The Pink Pony Club hitmaker has had a couple of incidents on the red carpet since shooting to super stardom.
At the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2024, she could be seen and heard blasting expletives while on the red carpet.
While her team fixed up her dress, someone appeared to say "Shut the f**k up."
In response, the Pink Pony Club pointed at a person and yelled, "You shut the f**k up!"
It wasn't clear what the person said next, but Chappell said, "No! Not me b***h."
And then, just last month in April, Chappell was accused of pushing her assistant in a shocking viral clip from the Los Angeles Fashion Awards.
The singer could be seen waving at fans while flanked by two companions.
She then appeared to collide with her assistant before seemingly using her arm to push her away.
Chappell then walked off.
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise gave a prankster a very stern telling off in 2005.
20 years ago at the London premiere of Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds, a Channel 4 prankster pretended to be a journalist while on the red carpet.
Posing as a reporter, the prankster squirted water at Tom and he got a little wet in the face.
The actor thought he was doing an interview on the red carpet when the microphone squirted a stream of water into his face.
Tom was fuming and sternly asked: "Why would you do that?"
He then batted away the faux mic away and pulled the prankster forward.
"What’s so funny about that?" he pressed.
"It’s ridiculous," he went on to fume as the prankster apologised and defended himself.
But Tom's rant didn't end there.
"You like doing mean things to people?" he asked.
As the prankster walked away, Tom then shouted out: "Hey, hey, no, no, don’t run away.
"Don’t run away, it’s incredibly rude. I’m here giving you an interview and answering your questions and you do something really nasty."
He then added: "You’re a jerk. You’re a jerk. You know what, you’re a jerk."
Kelly Rowland
At the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Kelly Rowland appeared to shout out a security guard on the red carpet.
The Destiny's Child star seemingly had a heated exchange with a security guard after she was ushered up the stairs.
"The woman knows what happened. I know what happened," she said to the after the incident went viral.
"And, I have a boundary. And I stand by those boundaries and that is it.
"There were other women who attended that carpet, who did not quite look like me, and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off," she explained.

But MGK was not keen to pose for a snap and reacted with a shove, which then spilled some of Conor's drink in the process.
Conor later spoke to Entertainment Tonight where he said "absolutely nothing" happened and he doesn't fight "little vanilla boy rappers".
