Celebrities and the Foods They Hate: See What Chrissy Teigen, Tyra Banks and More Can’t Stand

Everyone has foods they love, as well as foods they simply can’t stand, and celebrities are no exception. In fact, several stars have been very vocal about the food they hate, and some of the findings are pretty surprising. Chrissy Teigen, who is well known for being outspoken on social media, surprised her followers when she revealed that her love of food doesn’t extend to Nutella. In 2014, the cookbook author discussed her issues with the chocolate and hazelnut spread, tweeting, “Nutella is s–t." The Cravings author added: "I have not been hacked i am just TIRED OF NUTELLA AND AM PROUD TO BE AMONG THE FIRST #NUTELLATRUTHERS." Although Teigen's opinion divided the internet at the time, the model later admitted that her opinion on the subject had not changed. "I think a lot of people actually think that the hazelnut is good for them, and they're, like, 'Oh, I'm so French,' and just no," Teigen said during an appearance on First We Feast's Hot Ones in October 2018. "It's, like, you're eating chocolate in the morning. It's the mimosa of foods. You just want a drink in the morning, which is fine, but that's what I have to say about Nutella." [sendtonews type="float" key="Sqy6H8kt9Y-3103185-14453"] Khloé Kardashian is another example of a star who has stuck by their dislike. After previously revealing that pork is not for her, the reality star later said she would rather gain 10 pounds than try it again. While playing a game of “Would You Rather” on her app in 2017, the Good American cofounder clarified that she chooses to tweak Thanksgiving stuffing recipes to replace the meat. She also confirmed that her dislike for pork includes bacon, saying, “Turkey bacon only, baby!” Scroll down to see which dishes celebrities like the least:

“I cannot stand cilantro: the smell, the taste, the texture,” the Real Housewives of New York City star told Us in November 2023. “It’s commonly used in Indian cuisine, and I used to throw a tantrum as a child when it was in my food. My mum thought she was outsmarting me by blending it into her cooking but I was so sensitive to it. I knew it was there and refused to eat.”

Queen Elizabeth II

Former royal chef Darren McGrady, who worked for the late monarch for 11 years, discussed the queen's intense dislike of garlic exclusively with Us Weekly in August 2020. "The queen really [disliked] garlic because it's been more of an antisocial thing. ... [There are] aftereffects of eating the garlic when you're meeting and greeting people all the time." According to McGrady, the royal also disliked "strong onions" and rare beef.

Kristin Chenoweth

The Broadway star will grab "any chocolate candy bar" over a plate of seafood any day. "I do not like seafood. No, no," she revealed to Us exclusively in June 2020. "I don't like lobster even with all the butter. No, I don't want clams, OK? I don't want a seafood tower. I don't want it from the ocean. I like to swim in it, I don't want to eat from it."

Christina Hall

"Onions. I don't really like onions,” the Wellness Remodel author told Us exclusively in April 2020. “[I don’t like] the breath and everything."

Hailey Bieber

The model shared her least favorite food in the #DoYourPartChallenge Instagram livestream to raise money for DoorDash’s Feeding America campaign in April 2020. “I hate cilantro. I think it’s the worst flavor. It’s not that I think it tastes like soap, I think it’s a weird unnecessary garnish,” she explained. “Maybe I need to try it on the right thing."

Kourtney Kardashian

The Poosh founder doesn’t necessarily dislike the taste of soda, but she won’t be drinking it anytime soon. “I would never open a can of soda,” she told Health magazine in March 2020 when asked to name a food she hates. “That’s just not where I would cheat.”

Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi

The Shahs of Sunset star told Bravo in March 2020 that she eats nine meals a day and has a “healthy digestive system,” but she draws the line at feasting on uni, which is sea urchin. “[It’s] yellow turd-looking stuff,” the reality star said of the delicacy. “I’ve eaten a live octopus before from a dare, but I would not touch uni for the life of me.”

Guy Fieri

The Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host likes most foods, but not one common breakfast staple. “I’m not a big egg fan,” he explained during a February 2020 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “They’re great for different parts of the menu and as a chef I use them all the time, but an egg is not my [thing]. I’ll just have a sandwich.” Despite the Food Network star’s clear aversion to eggs, Fallon challenged him to drink a raw one and he reluctantly obliged. “That was awesome,” he sarcastically quipped after downing the egg. “Let’s do more of those!”

Martha Stewart

The lifestyle mogul has no time for one food that many consider a delicacy. “I really don’t like truffle oil and avoid foods that are synthetic and overly processed,” she told Us in February 2020.

Ree Drummond

The Pioneer Woman is willing to take plenty of culinary risks, but not when it comes to one fruit. “[I hate] anything banana,” she told Us in February 2020. “I have a store, restaurant and bakery and there's not a single banana on the menu, or [anything] banana flavored.” The only “exception” Drummond has allowed is the banana split on the menu at her Oklahoma ice cream store, Charlie's Sweet Shop.

Kim Kardashian

The reality star revealed via a Twitter Q&A with fans in February 2020 that she can’t stomach spicy foods. The revelation came after the Selfish author said she was a fan of regular Cheetos, but not their spicier counterparts. “I hate HOT anything! I hate Spicy anything. I know this is going to be very unpopular to so many but I just don’t like it,” she explained. “Regular Cheetos for me or Cheetos puffs are my absolute fave.”

In the same Q&A, the California native revealed she’s also not a fan of “thick” fries or certain kinds of fries. As she put it: ”I also don’t like waffle fries or sweet potatoes fries.”

The Queer Eye culinary pro has a hatred of caraway seeds, which he told Us in January 2020 stems from a “traumatic” childhood experience eating savory caraway bread topped with chocolate hazelnut spread. “I had three slices of it before I realized how bad it was and I got really sick,” the Netflix star recalled. “I totally threw up. Don't ever try it.”

Rob Gronkowski

The former New England Patriots tight end isn’t a fan of really spicy foods such as “hot peppers” or “a super hot sauce.” Though he told Us in January 2020 that he can handle “medium” heat, he won’t be tossing jalapeños onto his meals anytime soon since “really hot” foods make him sweat.

Chrissy Teigen

In addition to her inexplicable dislike of Nutella, Teigen isn’t a fan of another popular dip. “Hummus has to be the most overrated snack category food alive,” she tweeted in 2013. Even after getting some backlash from fans, the star held her ground. “You don't love hummus you love the pita chips, you liars,” she shot back.

In January 2020, Teigen tweeted that she hates sweet potato fries. If she must eat them, however, she’s discovered a hack that makes them a tad tastier. “I did once coat [sweet potato fries] in Lawry’s and it was crispy salty goodness,” she explained. “I would still never pick it over regular fries, but it’s damn good.”

Suzanne Somers

The late actress appeared on an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in January 2020 and talked all about her skincare routine and diet. When asked to name a food she can’t stand, the Step by Step alum replied: “I would rather eat, like, manure than anchovies.”

Gwyneth Paltrow

Spray cheese is certainly a hit with some, but not Paltrow. In 2011, the Goop founder said that she would rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a can. Five years later, she clarified her feelings on her Goop blog during a Q&A session, explaining, “You know, crack might be extreme, but spray cheese is not my kind of party.”

In January 2020, the Glee alum revealed via a video interview with Harper’s Bazaar that she also does not eat dill or “baby mammals,” such as lamb and veal or octopus.

Jennifer Aniston

Though caviar is considered a delicacy, the Friends alum has said you will never find any of the fancy fish eggs in her home. “You can’t acquire that taste no matter how many people say that,” she explained to Yahoo! Food in 2016. “It’s just a s–tty taste.”

Khloé Kardashian

The Hulu personality doesn’t mince words when it comes to her intense dislike of pork. While playing a game of “Would You Rather” on her app in 2017, Kardashian said she would rather gain 10 pounds than eat the pig product. “I would for sure rather gain 10 pounds,” she insisted. “I don’t think I’ll ever eat pork in my life.”

Zendaya

As an herbivore, you’d think the Euphoria star would have a fondness for veggies, but apparently that’s not the case. “I am a vegetarian who doesn’t like vegetables too much — makes it challenging,” she told Us in 2014.

Ice-T

The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star revealed in 2018 that he had never tried coffee or a bagel. While he deemed the baked good “not bad,” his review of a cup of java was even less effusive. “It’s not what I expected,” he said at the time. “It tastes like water with another taste kicked in later.” The actor later added: “This is my first time, and I can pretty much tell you this will be the last time I’ll ever drink black coffee.”

Shawn Mendes

Tomatoes are a particularly versatile food, and while that might be good for some, it’s part of the reason why the “If I Can’t Have You” singer strongly dislikes the red fruit. As he bluntly put it in 2014: “Tomatoes ruin everything.”

Jimmy Fallon

The late-night talk show host has long been open about his utter distaste for mayonnaise. In a 2014 cooking segment with Stewart, he recoiled when the lifestyle maven unveiled a large jar of the sandwich topping, saying, “It makes me want to vomit.” A year later, during an interview with Melissa McCarthy, the SNL alum called the condiment "the worst thing in the entire world."

Gordon Ramsay

The MasterChef host is known for being critical of food, but there’s one type of meal that he won’t even touch — airplane food. “There’s no f–king way I eat on planes," he told Refinery29 in 2017. As it turns out, his aversion to in-flight meals comes from experience. ”I worked for airlines for 10 years, so I know where this food’s been and where it goes, and how long it took before it got on board,” he explained.

Kelly Clarkson

Clarkson told Us in 2015 that she is “addicted to tea and coffee” but has no desire to eat a well-liked vegetable. “I hate Brussels sprouts and can’t stand that every time I say that, somebody always says, ‘Oh, but you’ve never tried mine,’” she said. “I love and eat every kind of vegetable, but not that one.”

Michelle Obama

The former first lady made headlines for planting a garden with 55 kinds of fruits and vegetables during her time in the White House, but seeing as she told Food & Wine in 2016 that she is “not a fan" of beets, it should come as no surprise that the root vegetable was left out.
