“I just wanted to be like, ‘Hey, Anthony Mackie, it’s so nice to meet you. Your work is actually phenomenal. I’m so glad I got to meet you. Have an amazing day.’ That was it,” Kole said on TikTok. “That was all I wanted. But these fucking celebrities make it seem like we’re f-cking roaches and rats, bitch. I’m at the same gas station as you, b-tch…Anthony Mackie, the rudest celebrity. You make celebrities look bad.”
“What’s the inevitable question that you always get asked that you just never want to hear again?” asked Mikey O’Connell asked the table.

“Mine is ‘take a picture,’” said Mackie said. “You don’t know what social reality you’re tying yourself to. You don’t know what that person [is] going to use that picture for. Because of the Kardashians, we’re kind of put in this reality where we’re looked at as tools, as vessels, as opposed to artists.”
