Christina Aguilera has a beautiful voice, but a bad reputation.
After multiple feuds with the likes of Lady Gaga, Kelly Osbourne, and The Wanted, not
everyone has forgiven Aguilera for her attitude.
"Hahahaha, interesting."
Sour grapes Aguilera spent five years on The Voice, but
she completely slammed the competition series in a May 2018 interview with Billboard, calling
the show an "energy sucker."
She added: "I didn't get into this business to be a television
show host and to be given all these [rules], especially as a female.
[...] I would find myself on that show desperately trying to express myself through clothing
or makeup or hair.
It was my only kind of outlet."
Of course, it may be her salary that made her so bitter.
When Aguilera was the only female vocalist judging the show, she took home $17 million
per season, but she took pay cuts in her later seasons, earning $12.5 million.
Constant beef Perhaps part of why Aguilera got a paycut
at The Voice was because, allegedly, she was so aggravating to everyone else on set that
she wasn't worth her hefty paychecks.
A source told Radar Online in 2015: "Christina is such a terror to work with.
She is frequently late and she doesn't even seem to care or apologize for holding up the
filming of the show."
Insiders also told Star that Aguilera's tardiness often held up production, and that her diva
demands included having a staffer whose sole job was to massage her feet every 30 minutes.
The Radar Online source added: "To make matters worse, she is constantly
fighting with Adam [Levine].
They cannot stand each other."
Bossy boss Working with Aguilera is difficult enough,
but sources say working for Aguilera is even worse.
Insiders told OK!
Magazine that her constant diva demands have led most of Aguilera's personal staff to throw
in the towel and seek employment elsewhere.
A source revealed: "She has no problem waking up a nanny or maid
for the most menial tasks.
She's even called a staffer from the other end of the house to get something like a towel
that was mere feet away from her."
Of course, that's hearsay from anonymous sources, but if even part of it is true, it's definitely
not a good look.
Outing an ex Aguilera dated backup dancer Jorge Santos
for two years leading up to the release of her sophomore album Stripped.
In 2002, she told MTV News that her songs "Infatuation" and "Underappreciated" were
inspired by her relationship with Santos.
Fast-forward to March 2018 and it gets a little complicated.
Aguilera was a guest on RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked, and one of the drag queens asked
Aguilera if "Infatuation" was inspired by someone.
She revealed: "It was heartbreaking, because I found out
he played for your team, not mine."
She didn't mention Santos by name, but fans easily pieced that together.
"He gonna see this!
He gonna be mad" "I hope so."
What a girl wants In Aguilera's case, what a girl wants seems
to be booze.
In 2011, she and partner Matthew Rutler were both taken into custody after a boozy night
out at a Los Angeles eatery.
People reported Rutler was booked for a DUI after his erratic driving and Aguilera was
taken in for "public intoxication," but wasn't charged.
Three days later, Us Weekly reported that Aguilera and Rutler were at the same restaurant
again going through wine like it was water, though this time they hired a chauffeured
limo.
A source close to the singer revealed: "She should see the arrest as a wake-up call,
but she doesn't.
She doesn't think things are that bad."
Despite their busts for alcohol-related issues, Aguilera and Rutler still love to party.
Page Six reported in December 2015 that Aguilera was, quote, "a mess at Seth MacFarlane's Christmas
party."
The source claimed: "Seth asked her five times to come up [and
sing] and she refused.
The reason she didn't get up is because she was wasted."
Throwing punches You may remember Christina Aguilera feuding
with fellow singer Pink beginning back when they were part of the 2002 Lady Marmalade
cover with Mya and Lil' Kim.
But that wasn't the end of it.
After the pair made amends, Pink recalled on an October 2017 episode of Watch What Happens
Live with Andy Cohen that their feud once became physical.
"Actually, she swung on me, in a club."
"In a club?"
"Hilarious."
Mean girl In the 2004 film Mean Girls, Daniel Franzese's
character sings Aguilera's "Beautiful" in their school's winter talent show.
As a result of the career-making role, Franzese was beyond thrilled when he finally got the
chance to meet the actual "Beautiful" belter, but it didn't go well at all.
He told Yahoo Entertainment: "I met Christina Aguilera and I thought for
sure that would be an exciting moment in my life.
And I was like, 'Christina, my name's Daniel.
I sing "Beautiful" in Mean Girls.'
And she was like, 'Never saw it.'
And then turned her back and walked away.
She was so rude."
At this point, should we be surprised?
