La Ex-Assistant Drops Bombshell On Celebrity ‘Abuse’ – Quits In Epic Socal Showdown

From Santa Barbara Dreams to Hollywood Nightmares

Picture this: you’ve just moved to the City of Angels, chasing that Hollywood glow, and you land a gig as a personal assistant to a big-name celebrity. That’s exactly where Tyler Wells started, fresh off a sweet stint with a ‘very well-known’ family up in Santa Barbara – a coastal gem just a quick drive from LA – who treated him like one of their own.

But when Tyler rolled into LA with SoCal summer energy, ready to level up, things took a dark turn. After months of interviews with Tinseltown’s elite, he scored an in-person chat with a mystery celeb. He nailed it, got the job, and felt like he’d hit the jackpot in this sprawling, star-studded city. Little did he know, the red carpet was about to turn into a red flag parade.

Tyler’s excitement quickly faded as the unnamed star’s true colors emerged. What seemed like a dream gig morphed into a daily dose of dread, with the celeb’s temper flaring hotter than a Santa Ana wind.

Screaming Fits and Public Humiliation in the 90210

According to Tyler’s viral Instagram post from July, working for this celebrity was like walking into a Malibu-style drama every single day. He described random ‘screaming rages’ that could erupt at any moment – imagine getting chewed out over the phone while grabbing groceries late at night, with zero context, just pure venom. ‘I never knew what version of this person I’d get,’ Tyler shared, noting that since he worked at their home, there was no escaping the chaos.

Things got even messier when the star allegedly humiliated him on a film set in front of over 50 people – including another celeb – during his first-ever day on location. Screamed at in public? That’s a low blow, even by Hollywood standards. But it didn’t stop there; Tyler claims the celebrity made cruel jabs about his femininity, sneering that ‘no man would ever desire me’ if he kept rocking lip gloss.

‘I felt like I was trapped in a toxic Hollywood script, where speaking up meant risking everything,’ Tyler reflected in his post, capturing the fear and frustration of countless industry hopefuls.

Breaking Point: A Plumbing Rage and a Bold Exit

The final straw came during yet another unhinged outburst, this time over a plumbing issue – because apparently, that’s worth losing it over in LA’s ritzy circles. Tyler had enough of being treated like a human punching bag. He gave the celeb a chance to cool off, but when the yelling didn’t stop, he dropped the mic with a simple, ‘Alright, I quit.’

As he packed up to bounce, the star reportedly kept the drama rolling, questioning his decision with more screams. Tyler laid out an ultimatum right there in the heat of the moment: stop the shouting and he’d help with the plumber, or keep it up and he’d walk out the door. Spoiler alert – the celeb chose rage, and Tyler strutted out, but not before a vicious parting shot from the star: ‘You can prance on out of here, Tyler, but you will always be nasty.’ Ouch. Tyler’s clapback? A cool ‘look in the mirror’ before peeling out and sending one last text.

That goodbye message, partially shared in a screenshot, read like a manifesto of self-respect: ‘I am done being screamed at... I am not a human punching bag... It is 2022, and I will no longer tolerate your abuse.’ Talk about taking a stand on the streets of LA!

Gaslighting and LA’s Cutthroat Vibes

Before his dramatic exit, Tyler endured months of alleged gaslighting that would make any reality TV producer proud. He claims the celebrity weaponized personal confessions – like his upbringing and even his use of Lexapro – throwing them back in his face during arguments. Whenever he tried to push back, the star would hit him with old-school Hollywood tough talk: ‘Back in my day, you’d just get fired for speaking up.’

Even worse, they’d spin it as a rite of passage, saying, ‘This is how all of LA is. If you can’t handle me, you’re not cut out for this city.’ Tyler admitted he bought into it for a while, feeling stuck and scared to leave. But waking up every day with ‘utter dread’ eventually pushed him over the edge – no paycheck is worth that kind of mental grind in a city already known for chewing up dreams.

A Viral Story and a Promise to Never Back Down

Tyler’s Instagram post, captioned with raw honesty about his journey, has blown up with over 1 million views and 33,000 comments. ‘This is the story of how I stood up to a celebrity I worked for and quit on the spot after months of emotional and verbal abuse,’ he wrote, adding that he didn’t move to LA to be disrespected. He’s speaking to anyone who’s ever stayed in a soul-crushing job just to pay rent – a real struggle in a city where the cost of living is as high as the Hollywood sign.

He’s also made a fierce promise to himself: never again will he let someone treat him like that. ‘Respect is earned, not given,’ Tyler declared. ‘If you’re in a job where you feel like you have to compromise your peace, you don’t. Walking away is sometimes the bravest thing you can do.’

Oh, and for all the fans begging him to spill the tea on who this mystery celeb is? Tyler’s keeping it locked down, citing an NDA that legally bars him from naming names. But in true LA fashion, the speculation is already running wilder than traffic on the 405. Who do you think it could be?
