Have you ever wondered why certain celebrities seem to rub you up the wrong way? And why others make you feel all warm and happy inside?

For example, why do people hate Gwyneth Paltrow but adore Jennifer Lawrence? Why do we love Reese Witherspoon and love to hate Kim Kardashian?

After all, it's not as if we know these people personally. So, why do they have the ability to get on our nerves so much?

Well, there are many reasons. One is that celebrities often turn up on our televisions or radios entirely uninvited and often.

For example, Novak Djokovic. I never had much of an opinion of him, good or bad, but since he has been on the news continuously for the last week, I'd be happy never to see his face or hear his name again - sorry, Novak!

Another reason may be that we simply disagree with a celebrity's life choices. The prime example here is the Kardashian family.

People love to hate the entire Kardashian and Jenner clan purely because they are famous for, well, being famous. But, the truth is, most people probably don't have a legitimate reason to dislike them as individuals.

No matter the reasons, there is an infinite list of stars who are hated for one reason or another. And, recently, Reddit user u/PythonButSnake asked the Reddit community which universally loved celebrities they don't like.

As always, people had plenty to say! Keep reading to find out 20 stars people love to hate and why.

Reddit user u/PythonButSnake recently asked the Reddit community which celebrities they don't like.

Here's what people had to say.

"She was snotty and pretentious."

"I hated him for the longest time."

Oh no, not Paul!

"F**k that guy!"

But, she's the First Lady of daytime television!

"It's a wonder they came out functioning at all."

He "made a housekeeper cry." Okay, that's not cool, Zac!

"He cheated on his wife, while she was pregnant with his child."

I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of folks who can going by his success.

He's "a complete sellout."

Never trust a cartoon mouse!

If you can't tell your wife a dirty joke, who can you tell?

"He has such an arrogant demeanor." I feel like that's the point though?

She's just "so damn annoying."

Stick a fork in them, they're done!

"He just isn't funny to me." Fair enough.

If you have to ask if she's well liked, she probably isn't.

Straight to the point.

"Everyone talks of her like a queen." Well, she is Queen Bey!

Well, okay then. Sorry, Demi.

Is there a particular celebrity that you really dislike? Does Nicolas Cage or Arnold Schwarzenegger rub you up the wrong way for no apparent reason?

Well, as you can see from this list, you're certainly not alone. It seems there isn't a celebrity in existence who can escape being disliked by at least a few people.
