In fact, that's exactly what he did when Katy Perry kissed a contestant on AGT, she was going for the cheek but surprised the contestant with a kiss on the lips, which apparently the guy didn't like that. Russ made a post screaming that it should be him who got the kiss instead of someone else.I like that in the Ariana recounting, he points out that she apparently looked in his direction, then blew a kiss from stage to “some random person.” As if Russ wasn’t ALSO a random person at the concert.
Russ truly believes he’s the star and the most important person ever and everyone should recognize it. You can just hear his brain as Ariana went off script. “She was SUPPOSED to blow a kiss to me, but instead she aimed it at one of the background randos in my little mind-theater! Not ME!!! RUSS, THE STAR!!!”
Also can I just say, she didn’t see you from the stage, Russ. Pretending to notice people and point, wave, blow kisses out to the crowd is standard. I’ve been under stage lights like the one she would be under and though it seems clear as day from the audience, you CANNOT see past those bright lights to anyone out there when you’re onstage. Even the front row is in shadow. IF you kneel way down at the edge of the stage, you can see the front row people if you get up right close to them, but they’re still in shadow to you. It’s mad just how bright the stage lights are and how the whole audience disappears the moment you get onstage.
She didn’t look at you, Russ. Just in your vague direction.
I love this article because this guy basically admits “yeah she was up for four awards and didn’t win a damn thing and then I shoved my phone in her face right during her disappointment and she said she wasn’t in the mood at the moment for selfies!!”
This is what celebrities deal with: spoiled fans or just people like this man who want to brag they saw so-and-so and took a snap with them, who get all stroppy and pitch a fit because how dare you not take a photo with everyone who demands it of you, Ariana! You owe me!
And you're absolutely right that he has a terrible case of Main Character Syndrome. He has often referred to himself when hitting on women as "better than these random guys" or something similar, he cannot accept that he, too, is random, because he thinks he's the greatest guy in the world, in his own words.
