The fact of the matter is that most of the 'celebs behaving badly' are those who just don't care. Most of them have a guarantee when they come to a convention; that is, money they'll receive just for showing up regardless of what they bring in from autographs. In Julie Benz's case with ECCC, it was $10,000. Needless to say, with her ****-poor attitude, she didn't come CLOSE to making that much from sales, but that's what she walked away with. I guess that might explain why the boys who run the con haven't shown any interest in having her back.
That's the part I don't get. It's a pretty short, straight line between "acting like a jerk" to "losing that line of income." Now, Julie Benz is currently on this new show (we'll see how long it lasts...) and has spent the last four years doing Dexter, but still. Why would you be a pain to folks? The con organizers simply won't invite you back and will get someone who actually appreciates being there, and there goes your $10K plus expenses plus whatever you bring in from autographs/photos/memorabilia.
