Ever wonder if the stars have a sense of irony? Take Jesse McCartney’s 2017 shopping trip—a moment that might’ve been written in the cosmic script under a painfully honest Mercury retrograde. There he was, just a guy trying on clothes, only to overhear a coworker’s brutally candid commentary about his appearance… right behind the fitting room door. Yikes. Watching someone’s quiet dignity unravel in real-time? It’s gut-wrenching. Yet, behind the celebrity glow, we’re all human — juggling struggles that no horoscope could predict. Jesse’s story isn’t just about fame lost or gained—it’s about the raw, unvarnished reality we all dodge. So, what does it take to keep your shimmer when the universe throws shade? Dive in and see what really went down that day. LEARN MORE.
“Another celebrity I met back in 2017 was Jesse McCartney. He grabbed a few clothing items and politely asked to be let into the fitting room. He was super nice. I helped hang his clothes in the fitting room and closed the door behind him.
Then a coworker walked up to me and said, ‘Did you see Jesse McCartney? Damn, he got fat. He really let himself go.’ I just stood there, frozen, mouthing, ‘He’s in there!’ (Fucking embarrassing!). He definitely heard the entire conversation.
I’ll never forget the way Jesse came out of that fitting room, his shoulders slumped, and his whole demeanor had shifted. I walked him over to the register. He ended up leaving almost all the clothes behind and just bought a hat and a couple of shirts.
Then, when it came time to pay, he pulled out loose bills and coins from his wallet. He looked at me and said quietly, ‘I don’t have enough,’ and started putting items back. I could tell he was going through it financially. I told him, ‘Don’t worry about it, I’ll give you a discount,’ and he looked so relieved. It was honestly really sad. I could just tell he was hurting, and that moment stuck with me. Fame comes at you fast. I hope he’s doing better.” —u/Eventherich
