In the age of social media, celebrities who treat members of the service industry like trash best beware. All it takes to tarnish a reputation is one viral TikTok video or Reddit post about a star’s rude behavior. One of the allegations often lobbed at celebs accused of being difficult to cater to is that they tip poorly. In Brittany Mahomes’ case, TikToker Jessica O’Connor claims this is just one example of how she disrespected employees of 1 Hotel West Hollywood.
According to O’Connor, she used to work at the hotel and once waited on Mahomes and her entourage, who were in Los Angeles to shop for the WAG’s wedding gown. O’Connor says the group spent around $130 when she served them — and not one of them left a tip. Perhaps O’Connor wouldn’t have felt the need to call Mahomes out if that had been her only transgression, but she continued, “They were there for almost a week, I think, and did not tip a single one of our staff.” O’Connor also singles Mahomes’ behavior out, saying, “She was just genuinely unpleasant.”
If O’Connor’s claims are true, perhaps Mahomes, who once worked at Texas Roadhouse, could learn a thing or two about tipping etiquette from Taylor Swift. In December 2023, Swift was photographed tipping the food runners at a Kansas City Chiefs game with $100 bills. Instead of getting trashed on TikTok, she was celebrated as “a sold human being.”
