A Carrie fan met her when out and about earlier and made a throwaway comment on Twitter about how Carrie looked scared when she met her and put a smiley face. Carrie has then got aboard her "outraged and ranting" bandwagon and has been reading this girl's tweets and responding to tweets where she didn't mention her in. A general indirect tweet not mentioning her name where the girl just said she was disappointed by the meeting. The poor girl must feel awful!
Edit: and so it continues... "Nothing weighs heavier on my heart than feeling I've disappointed someone"
(Ironically this is under a pinned tweet saying she won't be going to the stage door for the forceeable future!)

One might suggest she's chosen the wrong profession then.

I feel sorry for those girls (Hopefuls?), getting scolded by their hero (who isn't really much older than them) can't be nice.

One of the many reasons I find this thread baffling is that I have absolutely no idea who Carrie Hope Fletcher is I popped into the local library this week. They have a (new to me) stand called "Hot Picks", which are books that are in such high demand apparently that you can only borrow them for a week. Right at the front was a book by... Carrie Hope Fletcher (where does she find the time to do all this tweeting and write books?). Nobody was borrowing it. Not even for a week.

I presume that child performers are chaperoned as they arrive and leave, and not just when they're actually inside the theatre?
Or at least that the chaperone always exchanges responsibility with a known responsible adult?

I didn't really know of Carrie that well, but after reading about the argument she had with that girl on here, I decided to go and take a look for myself. She was despicable! The poor girl has had to make her Twitter account private. This kind of bullying should not be tolerated.

Or at least that the chaperone always exchanges responsibility with a known responsible adult? They are. But sometimes (not always) the producers encourage the chaperone to be patient with the fans. Of course there are limits. If you ask me the best politic about child actors is the one of the RSC. No autographs and no photos with the kids. Period.

Or at least that the chaperone always exchanges responsibility with a known responsible adult? I'm sure someone more knowledgable will confirm this but I'm pretty sure I've read it's a legal requirement that child actors are chaperoned to and from a theatre as well as in it. Certainly when I've stagedoored shows with child actors - Les Mis, The Sound Of Music, Showboat recently - if I've noticed child actors exiting afterwards they've always been in a group accompanied by their chaperone. And I have certainly never spoken to any of them, it seems inappropriate, quite apart from the fact I dislike children & never speak to any unless I have to.

At Oliver the chaperone used to rush them through stage door saying "no photos".

She'll be along soon enough with a video telling you that it's OK to not know who she is. (Dammit, I try not to be bitchy about her, but she doesn't make it easy. I'm starting to suspect she's someone's fictional creation.)

I tweeted once about "a certain actor" who didn't come out of stage door to the huge queue waiting at Les Mis. The only reference in the tweet to Ms H/F was referencing the show but yes she found it and replied to me over 5 tweets as to why!
I was drunk in Soho at the time so didn't particularly care but nice that she has time to search twitter for any vague references to her and then set her legions upon us common folk!

At Oliver the chaperone used to rush them through stage door saying "no photos". I stage doored once at Beauty and the Beast. There were only a few of us there. The kid playing Chip actually bounced up to me and excitedly said 'do you want my autograph?!?!'. It was rather cute! His chaperone just looked benignly on.

I kind of like to imagine drunk-in-Soho you then running into her and getting that rant in person

Someone I know had a similar thing with Jodie Prenger. They weren't a fan of them and it was when Jodie was 'presenting' the red carpet at the Olivier's generally being useless. The friend tweeted something negative (but not rude or offensive) about her without mentioning her name. She found the tweet and started attacking the friend on twitter and encouraging all her fans to, too. The friend never responded. Then a short while later at West End Eurovision, the friend was accosted by one of Jodie's friends asking what their problem was and basically got all up in their face about it. Most amusing. She's definitely one that searches her name on the internet. Another is egomaniac songwriter Scott Alan, he's the worst at that.
I find it bizarre that people do that. Especially those in the public eye. If I was an agent of any of these, I'd strictly encourage them not to behave like this. It can only do damage. Retweeting any bit of praise is another no no.

I expect it's required these days for promotional purposes. The smart ones get their "team" to do it on their behalf. Joan Rivers is still tweeting and she's been dead two years! I very much doubt that when she was alive she didnt spend time trawling the internet for direct or indirect comments about herself. Too much class. Take note, Carrie and Jodie.

I think that Carrie actually has an agent who encourage her to act like that, like a lot of other internet famous. I've met many of them with my job and definitely it's a quite normal youtube manager (ahah) modus operandi.

Blogging, Tweeting and Instagram-ing is definately the order of the day.
Grant Stott did an interesting interview on Marr on Sunday last erm... Sunday where he said if you want to be an actor these days you need to do an hour of acting classes a week and 40 hours in the gym.
He may have a point!

A friend of mine is a writer for a well-liked, quirky online publication. It's in her contract that she has to tweet about the stories she writes and engage with readers who reply to her. (She's had this account since before she worked there, so there are still personal/funny/etc tweets as well.) I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of social media engagement requirement extends to other parts of the entertainment industry as well. Even if it's just highly recommended by the producers and not necessarily in the contract.

I feel there is still that *fine* line between engaging with your audience who reach out to you, and seeking out negativity about you (in which you are not tagged) and bullying those people (into making their account private).

Well, exactly. No one is making these narcissists search their own name and pick vindictive fights with anyone who doesn't idolize them. So childish.

www.gq.com/story/lin-manuel-miranda-profile-gq-coverHave you ever had real safety concerns?
Outside the theater I had some safety concerns. Doing the stage door became an unsafe situation because everyone is trying to push in, so even though it's not out of malice, everyone is trying to get their book signed, little kids, too. I just had to stop at a certain point because I felt it wasn't safe for the people standing near the barriers, but 99 percent of the time the fans are awesome and sweet, and you go, "Aww, okay." What was tough was the autograph hounds. I'm not talking about the autograph guys who have been there for 30 years and get everyone's autographs—they're just the Broadway stalwarts who have made a life out of it. I'm talking about new guys who are just selling your autograph on eBay. They chased my car all the way to Sixth Avenue, and every time we'd stop at a light—thump thump thump—you know, just banging on the window, so... In the last month it got a little mad. Because it's also that frenzy of "He's leaving!" It's so funny, because when we did the show off-Broadway, there was no barrier. You'd just go to the lobby of the Public [Theater], and everyone's there. And it's just so civil. You know, the crowds were smaller because there were only 300 people at a time, and we just talked to everyone. No one was pushy, and there was no tense energy. But when you put up a barrier, you create a situation.
