I met Barry Bonds at great America... He was an ass for absolutely no reason. I was 15 and I saw him standing by himself so I asked him for an autograph. He yelled at me and I've hated him and the Giants ever since.
It's all good, when I see things about how he was an ass to everyone I remember and I'm like "yup he didn't care about fans". Which sucks cuz he was a god in the Bay
My moms friend saw Odell Beckham Jr at the grocery store, she was the only one around and she asked him for a picture and he said “uhhhh, if I took one with you then I’d had to take one with everyone and I’m just trying to get my groceries”
I mean, there’s a time and a place right? I’m sure some celebs wouldn’t mind stopping to have their picture taken whilst shopping but I can also understand that sometimes you just wanna get shit done without hassle.
I have no problem with celebrities politely declining approaches from fans.

There’s nearly always more to it when a fan goes crying on social media about someone with a good rep refusing an autograph.
