How my mind would work in that situation.
"Ah great! A fan! That's wonderful. Let me help him."
And then later, "Oh, great. I just taught someone else that he can come into my house and I still have to act the part. And construction, so that crew is returning again tomorrow, and more will ask of me. And, since the project will take more than two days, that means everyone from that company wants to come just because it's me. Already hard enough to relax at home with construction. Now I have to put on a show for those supposedly helping me."
And, yes, I'm not as hard nose as I appear on here if I have to make business calls, so I would have been kind to the company when I called and simply asked that their workers not treat me like I'm anything special. I was on the receiving end of that business call often enough when I worked in the maintenance department of a property management company. I wouldn't have gotten upset at all, but would have apologized to the customer and guarantee that doesn't happen again. (And some of our apartments were $2200 a month for one bedrooms in 1983, so, sure, some rich tenants.)
Then I would tell my boss, who then would be obliged to tell the owner. And, hoo-doggy, the owner would have blown a gasket, even though both of us reported the incident as kindly as possible being on the side of the worker, because that worker was our friend. And the owner had every right to fire that worker, because the first thing you learn as an employee in a service industry is "Customer is King!"
I really do see this on both sides of the issue. My husband was a blue collar worker. He could spend a full afternoon remembering stories of what happened to him on the street. Both the good stuff and the bad stuff. He even had to tell one woman in a tiny see-through Victory Secrets "nightgown" to go get dress because the woman wanted sex with him, she was married, and he was married. (His first wife, so I didn't have to deal with the impulse to punch her lights out. lol) But one of our most-famous business-dynasty family in our area had mostly hot-headed sons, but the mother was gracious enough to offer him lunch at the formal dining table and serve him with butlers bringing in the expensive spread. (He declined the offer graciously.) Always, always "The Customer is King."
Have you ever had construction done in your house? It already feels very discombobulated. You're not sure if you should go about your business, and it's likely you can't for fear of getting in their way. Now add to that your famous and have to put on a show of some kind. I see why it's important to remember as service people we are at their service. Never the other way around.

Jon Bon Jovi was born in March of '62 so he is not that much younger than we are 
I get a kick out of that because I have the same problem with Brad Pitt. He's in his 50's now, but I still see that teenager in Thelma and Louise.
LOL
Of course, that response is based on the report being true.
The veracity of the report is actually under question.
If the story is not true, then none of that is applicable
