Trending Now: Paul McCartney, Jennifer Lopez and More Stars Who Were Humiliatingly Barred From Celebrity Hotspots – Fans React

Don’t they know who they are? These establishments barred famous faces.

Justin Bieber – Sankeys

Sure, he was underage at the time, but that never stopped the pop star, now 31, from partying with his posse. Until he tried to get into a club in Manchester, England, that is. When the snub made international headlines, Sankeys was unapologetic. “Yes, the rumours are true… we turned Justin Bieber away last night,” staffers posted on social media, it was reported at the time. “He shuffles on stage and we can’t be having that in Sankeys now can we!!”

Bethenny Frankel – Chanel

J.Lo wasn’t the only one shut out of the luxury store. In 2024, the former Real Housewife, worth an estimated $80 million, posted a rant on Instagram after she was barred from entry at the Chicago location. Describing the doorman, Bethenny said, “He’s like Lurch in The Addams Family, like, ‘You raaang?’ ” Upon being told she needed an appointment to shop, the 55-year-old vented, “To be treated like you’re an interloper … I didn’t realize we’re not allowed to walk into stores anymore!”

Rita Ora – Gordon Ramsay Restaurant

The 35-year-old shocked fellow talk show guest Gordon Ramsay when she told him she’d been turned away from one of his restaurants on The Jonathan Ross Show. “I wasn’t dressed the part,” she admitted, adding she’d been wearing a track suit and sneakers. “I think it was a dress code or something.” Abashed, Gordon, 59, invited Rita to one of his restaurants as his guest. “For free, though,” she clarified.

Paul McCartney – The Argyle

“How VIP do we gotta get?” the Beatle asked his wife, Nancy, when the two were denied entrance to Tyga’s Grammy after-party in 2016, per TMZ. Turns out, the 83-year-old was at the wrong spot — he was meant to be at Mark Ronson’s fete held at Hyde Sunset Kitchen & Cocktail. Still, Tyga, 36, was mortified. “Why would I deny Paul McCartney?” he wrote on social media. “Stop it. He’s a legend.”

Jennifer Lopez – Chanel

Turkiye Today reported that the 56-year-old was refused entry to the Chanel store in Istanbul. Reportedly, the “On the Floor” singer took the pushback calmly, saying, “OK, no problem.” Then, as if channeling Pretty Woman, Jenny from the Block spent three hours shopping at nearby Celine and Beymen stores, dropping thousands of dollars. When staff from Chanel realized their mistake and invited her back, J.Lo refused. As Julia Roberts said, “Big mistake. Big! Huge!”
