People Are Sharing The Celebrity Memoirs That Made Them Completely Lose Respect For The People Who Wrote Them

Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community about the worst celebrity memoirs they've ever read — books that were so bad, they low-key started hating the author.

3. "I read Shane Dawson's two memoirs, I Hate Myselfie and It Gets Worse, during the height of his YouTube fame. Excuse after excuse for his past poor behavior. It does get worse indeed."

4. "Ina Garten's memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens, had this really weird, smug, overly confident vibe. I couldn't read the whole thing — not at all what I was expecting from her!"

5. "Controversially, Bossypants by Tina Fey was kinda reductive."

6. "Matthew McConaughey's recent one, Greenlights. No words... I was a big fan before I read the book, but it's very poorly written. Like, there are basically three introductions just saying the same thing (which is the whole 'green lights' thing. We get it, you're privileged). Himbo is definitely the vibe, but, like, he believes he is Socrates…bless."

8. "I had a crush on Shay Mitchell and bought her 'semi-autobiographical novel,' Bliss [Speaking to Elle Canada, Shay described the book as 'loosely fictional' and 'like a heightened version of our reality.' It was co-written with her best friend, Michaela Blaney]. To say it was thinly veiled would be an insult to actually thinly veiled things. She named her main character Sophia Marcus, who's a Canadian just like herself, and it only got worse from there. She tried to maintain her own reputation and acknowledge past bad behavior even as she wrote about how much the characters (if you can call them that) enjoyed their lifestyles."

11. "Using the term 'celebrity' SUPER loosely here, but I read Cazzie David's first essay collection, No One Asked For This: Essays. The writing itself wasn't bad, but mainly, she just seems like an absolutely insufferable person to be around. She was simultaneously complaining about being a celebrity's child while also wanting the perks of being a celebrity's child. Though she also wrote about how annoying her sister is, and honestly, she seems worse, somehow."

12. "A Very Punchable Face by Colin Jost is bad. He just didn't have enough life experience for a memoir, and it's so boring."

15. "Face the Music: A Life Exposed by Paul Stanley, aka the Starchild of KISS. He is, without question, one of the most miserable people on the planet. The man has had one of the most amazingly successful careers in rock music, and absolutely none of it makes him happy."

17. "Yes, Please by Amy Poehler."
