(#19) Jillian Michaels

Okay, Jillian Michaels isn't awful, but she will slam your car if it's dirty. On her reality show Just Jillian, Michaels admits: "One of the perks of having an assistant [is] that you have a chauffeur, right?" However, she then goes on to trash her assistant's car.
"You can work in the car. Someone else drives, you don't have to worry about anything. But today I don't have my car, we only have Nichole's sh*tbox," she joked.

(#6) Lance Armstrong
- 47
Shortly after becoming Lance Armstrong's personal assistant, Mike Anderson allegedly stumbled upon a box in Armstrong's bathroom labeled "Androstenedione" (that's a banned steroid). The box soon disappeared. As time went on, Anderson started to feel more uncomfortable about things with Armstrong. That's when, as Anderson describes in a story for Outside, Armstrong fired him. Anderson was asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement "that would have made me liable for a large sum of money if I even mentioned ever having worked for Armstrong."
Anderson refused, and soon after faced lawsuits and public scrutiny. This was before the truth came out about Armstrong's doping. He was painted by Armstrong's lawyers as a "disgruntled schemer" and essentially had to move to New Zealand to pursue his dreams of opening his own bike shop.

In court documents, O'Neill said she was on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that the two "frequently slept in the same bed because O'Neill never had her own hotel room while on tour and was required to address Lady Gaga's needs throughout the night."
The Daily Mail also revealed that during a video-taped deposition, Gaga was quoted as saying: '[Jennifer is a] f***ing hood rat who is suing me for money that she didn't earn."
