In the world of entertainment, celebrities often try to connect with their fans by showcasing a more relatable, down-to-earth side. However, some of these attempts fall flat, leaving fans rolling their eyes. Whether it’s awkward social media moments, tone-deaf statements, or cringe-worthy attempts to show “normalcy,” here’s a second look at celebrities failing at being relatable. Spoiler alert: it’s just as entertaining as the first part!

The “I’m Just Like You” Fail

Celebrities love to remind us that they, too, are just regular people, living regular lives. But when they post about their “struggles” or “challenges,” it often feels more performative than genuine. Take Kylie Jenner, for example. Her “humble” Instagram posts showcasing her private jet travels have become a meme in themselves. As she flaunts her lavish lifestyle, it’s hard to believe she’s the same person who used to tweet about feeling “lonely” and “confused” in her $300k mansion. Fans can’t help but notice the disconnect between her reality and the everyday struggles of her followers.

Overexposed Family Moments

Speaking of the Kardashians, Kim Kardashian has also had her fair share of “relatable” fails. Her attempts at showing a “real” side to her life often come across as scripted. In one instance, she posted a series of photos claiming she was “just like every mom” trying to balance work and family life. Yet, the images were carefully curated, with her glam team working overtime while she enjoyed a bubble bath in the middle of a luxury mansion. While we appreciate the effort, it’s hard to relate when you’re struggling to make time for dinner, let alone a spa day.

The “I’m Just a Regular Guy” Act

Sometimes, celebrities try so hard to seem like they’re just “one of us” that they overshoot it completely. Remember when Leonardo DiCaprio attended a climate change summit and casually mentioned he’s “just a regular guy” who enjoys fishing on the weekends? Considering his multi-million-dollar lifestyle and private yachts, it’s hard to buy that he’s “just one of the guys.” He might want to leave the regular guy routine to someone whose idea of “fishing” isn’t getting dropped off by a private helicopter.

The Awkwardly “Relatable” Instagram Lives

Some celebrities try to connect with their fans through Instagram Live, sharing their “real” selves in unfiltered, unscripted moments. But often, this just ends up being cringy. Bella Hadid made headlines for a livestream where she was seen on a couch, struggling to understand a question from a fan. Her attempt to seem “chill” and “authentic” came off as more confused and distant. Fans were quick to comment on how out of touch it felt, as she repeatedly stated she was “just tired” and couldn’t answer the questions properly.

The Cringe-Worthy “Struggles” of Wealth

Chrissy Teigen is no stranger to being called out for tone-deaf moments. In one instance, she shared a post about how “hard” it was to deal with all the options in her walk-in closet, complaining about not knowing what to wear. While many fans can appreciate a good wardrobe dilemma, most couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of a multi-millionaire complaining about having too many choices. It’s hard to relate to that level of “struggle,” especially when your closet is a room in itself.

The “Normal Day Out” Fail

Gigi Hadid once posted about enjoying a “normal day” while shopping at a boutique in Manhattan. It might have been a nice gesture to seem “one of the people,” but the heavily-edited photos of her strutting around in $1,000 shoes immediately made it clear: this was not a normal day out. Fans mocked her for trying to portray an everyday shopping trip when the reality was more of a luxury experience.

The “Barefoot and Natural” Look

Some celebrities attempt to share “candid” moments of their personal lives in an effort to seem more down-to-earth. Hailey Bieber posted an image of herself looking “natural” while wearing an oversized sweatshirt, no makeup, and a messy bun. However, upon closer inspection, her glowing skin and perfectly arranged hair (even in its messiness) made it clear that she was far from your average person trying to “get ready in a rush.”

The Selfie Fail

Let’s not forget Justin Bieber’s infamous “no makeup, no filter” selfies that were shared on Instagram. The image, which showed him looking “real” without all his usual styling, became infamous for looking more airbrushed than candid. Fans were quick to point out the obvious editing, which made the entire “no makeup” claim feel completely inauthentic.

Food Delivery “Struggles”

We’ve all seen those posts where celebrities act like ordering food delivery is a huge feat. Selena Gomez posted a video once, in which she made it sound like getting her food delivered was an exceptional, almost heroic act. Meanwhile, her luxury apartment was fully stocked with designer kitchenware, and the delivery guy looked more like a personal assistant than someone dropping off a meal. If this is what “struggling” looks like, sign us up!

The “I Eat Normal Food” Showoff

Finally, some celebrities just can’t help but remind us that they eat “normal” food, too. Take Rihanna, for example, when she shared a video of herself munching on pizza and sipping a soda. The attempt to seem relatable was somewhat spoiled by the pristine, over-the-top setting of her home, which looked like something straight out of a luxury design magazine. While we all love pizza, it’s tough to believe that the “normal” food Rihanna’s eating tastes the same as the slice you grab from a local pizzeria.

Conclusion

It’s clear that while many celebrities want to appear “relatable” to their fans, their attempts often miss the mark. Whether it’s awkwardly trying to portray themselves as “just like us” or sharing their so-called struggles that seem anything but, these stars often remind us of the vast divide between their world and ours. While their efforts may be in good spirits, we can’t help but laugh when they try—and fail—to show us that they, too, are just regular folks. Keep it real, celebs!
