"I don't go to places where I'm going to get mobbed"
About this Quote
Coming from Drescher, it also plays against her cultural image. She’s been coded for decades as accessible, loud, warmly comedic - the kind of star people think they can talk to. That persona invites intimacy, and the quote quietly sets a boundary: the character is not the person, and access isn’t owed. There’s a specific, gendered subtext here too. For women in entertainment, “mobbed” carries extra menace; public adoration can flip into entitlement fast, and the expectation to be gracious about it is part of the job’s invisible tax.
The intent is practical self-preservation, but it reads as a critique of how celebrity operates in the age of crowd energy: people don’t just watch you, they organize themselves around you. Drescher’s plain phrasing makes the point sharper. She doesn’t moralize; she simply opts out. That refusal is its own kind of power.
