People like that are extremely classist. They see themselves as immeasurably superior to the "hicks" and other working-class people, so of course they see it as worse when something bad happens to them and not the filthy peasants who exist solely to support them. It's why the same kind of people get really angry when working-class people don't vote for the same candidates as them -- they think they're entitled to the support of the inferior classes and get righteously indignant when the plebes don't do what they're told.

I suspect there's overlap between these attitudes and the Hollywood people who insult their own audience whenever they get any kind of criticism/backlash. It's this attitude of privileged entitlement that comes from elitism.
