BREAKING! Ellen told Executives she is ready to call it quits!

Congratulations to the newly-unemployed whiners.

We've come full circle.

Her downfall has been the happiest days of my life. I sleep better, I’ve lost weight and I’ve had the most intense orgasms.

R3= Kathy Griffin

She can spend the rest of her days with her best friend, Jack Daniels.

Bye bitch!

Poor Portia...having a raging drunk at home all day is *not* what she signed up for.

She is probably delighted to have an out from her contract. She is so over that show. Seventeen years of the same thing. 2700 episodes of fakeness. She is 62 and a very wealthy multi millionaire. Retirement and doing projects you want is probably a massive relief for her.

Ellen is ready to walk away and leave numerous staff members unemployed and disappoint her fans -anything to avoid acknowledging that she has become a corporate elitist and may, in fact, be legally responsible for the toxic workplace she created.

What a big ugly stupid drunk baby she is.

Congrats! Bullied a successful lesbian that strove to preach kindness for others off the air.

Brad Garrett says he heard she treated people poorly. Unusual to have another Hollywood actor pile on.

YES!!!!!!!! Bye, bitch.

Good for Brad; if others follow she's done; not that I believe the Daily Fail

She was horrible to work for R10. This should have come out years ago.

Can she still hang out in Crawford with BFF George? Oh, no she’s been canceled by her power hungry right wing “””friends”””?

Is Portia gonna split? Who will she date next?

I was so over her after I heard about her $50 million home. It's one thing to have an excessively expensive and unnecessary house, but then to have the nerve to go on TV and beg people who can ill afford it to donate money to charity is unacceptable. Bitch--why don't you live in a $5 million home and donate the $45 million to charity yourself before you ask other people to give?

Oh no! How is Ellen’s bestie Meghan Markle going to do now that she can’t be invited on the show anymore?

Is this an attempt at leverage, 'Leave me alone or I quit...'

Cause it may not turn out the way she hopes, if it is just easier to get rid of the septic cunt.

It’s a classic “you can’t fire me, I quit” ploy.

You people have been calling for her head for days, and now when it seems she may give it to you, you're still complaining, R9?

She should just fire all her male employees. Problem solved and toxicity gone.

Yep, R20. It's her "I'm going to take my ball and go home!" moment. Adios!

Her staff will not be unemployed. It will not take long for them to fill her spot. Hopefully with not someone with barely-concealed rage and white-knuckling until they get to have their martini.

R21 "You people?" Fuck off, shill.

[quote]The behavior of her show executives has been appalling, but [Ellen] is no better. In fact, she is the worst. It's outrageous that she is trying to pretend that this is all a shock to her. The fish rots from the head, and Ellen is the head.'

[quote]Our Telepictures insider claims that Ellen 'hates coming to work' and 'struggles to be nice to people and has utter contempt for her audience.'

[quote]'She has been phoning it in for so long, and only staying for the money and celebrity it affords her,' they said. 'We've dealt with her BS for so many years, she's not innocent at all, she's not nice and the show is not filled with happiness.'

and yet tom cruise gets to have a career still? STILL? the public face of a cult, knows it has abused (emotional, physical, financial) thousands of people, made the sociopath leader his best friend, documented having his ass royally kissed 24/7 for over 3 decades and counting and abandoned his youngest daughter over 8 years ago!..

Vaya con dios, you miserable shrew!

I shall relish the years of unraveling to come.

R26 = Ellen

Because he's a man, R26.

"One ex-employee said head writer and executive producer Kevin Leman asked him if he could give him a hand job or perform oral sex in a bathroom at a company party in 2013. Another said they separately saw Leman grab a production assistant’s penis. In May 2017, another former employee also said she saw Leman grope a production assistant in a car and kiss his neck. Nearly a dozen former employees, who range from longtime, senior-level employees to production assistants, said it was also common for Leman to make sexually explicit comments in the office, like pointing out male colleagues’ bulges in their crotches, or ask them questions like, “Are you a top or a bottom?” “It’s masked in sarcasm, but it’s not sarcasm,” a former employee said."

Was it known that Kevin Leman was gay? Seems a lot of the sexual misconduct claims are against him by male employees

Brad is talking about Jim Norton, who has talked trash about Ellen for years because he's jealous. Comics are very competitive and bitter nasty assholes. Jim saw her on the red carpet 15 years ago and asked her for a photo with him, and she said she didn't have time and kept walking. Why the fuck should she reward him with a photo that he can throw up on the internet for clout! So,, stupid.

And the Daily Mail is a tabloid trash magazine. Nothing is true in that rag. It's like the National Enquirer!

Brad and Jim are both issue laden creeps - birds of a feather

She doesn’t seem too bad.

R34 is fellow daytime cunt Kelly Ripa.

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, cunt.

Of course the big downside to all this are the dozens of people who will be out of a job.

Kindness 101

I'm sorry but once she started openly frightening guests just to laugh at their near-heart attacks...it was time to call it a day.

WTF Ellen?

That's so gauche.

Karma has caught up with this nasty women, She has enough money to never work again.

This is the logical solution. I would actually respect her for it. Give thE opportunity to someone else, enjoy your life - she clearly hates the job.

...and yet....MisterDannyOcean roams free with his smugness and rumored nefariousness.

Shrugging!

na na na na hey hey hey goodbye

[quote] Congratulations to the newly-unemployed whiners.

Right, God forbid people want to have a toxic free environment to work. Good riddance on this drunk conservative lesbo.

If they want that they should direct their anger towards the people who have been firing them without cause and sexually harassing them R46. Oh wait, they have! It's just a few miserable losers on this board who can't get past the fact that Ellen sat next to George W. Bush who are trying to make her culpable.

"The fish stinks from the head down, and Ellen is the head"

Unfortunate colloquium used in the insiders quote in the article.

Karma is a bitch, and so is Ellen apparently.

"Of course the big downside to all this are the dozens of people who will be out of a job."

Apparently, the big boss lady is a major cunt, so now the show is going to halt production. Ellen rides off into the sunset with millions and millions of dollars in per pockets, Portia by her side, and their real estate empire in tact. The SJWs and Great Moral Crusaders are unemployed and broke and bitching about how they can't get by on unemployment alone.

What exactly is the downside here?

Hollywood is like high school. Popularity and visibility matter. Once her talk show goes off the air, most of her A list "Friends" and connections will be gone too. Hollywood will only tolerate batshit behavior if you're making money for them. The second she walks away, it's over. The perks, everything. See Debra Winger, Faye Dunaway for reference.

The fact that not one big name celebrity is defending her is very telling.

Furthermore, this ground has been paved before. Have we all forgotten the Rosie-Tom Selleck incident?

She should dump the news now (Friday night) that she is quitting the show. With everything that is happening with Coronavirus and dipshit Trump plus Biden announcing his VP pick soon the story of her quitting would fade very fast.

[quote] Hollywood is like high school

So is politics and any corporation out there. Only right wingers like to single out the entertainment industry as if other areas were any different.

[quote] Brad Garrett says he heard she treated people poorly. Unusual to have another Hollywood actor pile on.

Wow, that pretty much seals the deal. And, the “don’t look at me or talk to me” will not win friends either. Interesting, that no big stars have come to her defense.

[quote]Have we all forgotten the Rosie-Tom Selleck incident?

Why yes, yes I have forgotten the Rosie-Tom Selleck incident. If I ever knew about the Rosie-Tom Selleck incident.

A cursory perusal of the most angry and sanctimonious comments reveals contempt, jealousy, and schadenfreude.

Americans love building people up, then revelling in their take down like no other culture I'm aware of. It's as if it's a national sport.

Ellen is going to be just fine if the mob mentality does her show in, she'll probably have a much easier life without the stress and the detractors. It's comical how posters extrapolate, and fantasise that Portia shall leave her, and she'll fall into some alcoholic lesbian-drama despair.

Keep spinning your wheels.... It's interesting to read how truly sick some of you are. You must all be miserable in your own lives to be so hateful, and slandering.

It seals the deal for you that c -list actor relayed anonymous, vague accusations, R54? Remind me not to have you as a jury member if I ever stand trial for something.

How are other celebrities supposed to defend her? "Uh, people working for Ellen have been accused of improper conduct, and even though that's not on Ellen, I want to put out a statement that she is a good person".

Have another drink, Ellen.

[Quote]Angriest Vegetarians: 2. Alec Baldwin

NO! How can such a lard tubby be a vegetarian? He tells the press and Hilarious about his healthy eating habits but has a separate apt in the building from H and 5 kids where he can order in to his heart's delight?

I'm not making up the other apt part. It was reported in NYC press and duly posted here. I think he may have even had third place in the building.

Kevin’s photo on LinkedIn

Baldwin did say he was a vegetarian, just ask him. I believe it.

Ironically, she was much better doing this than she ever was a comic or on that awful sitcom.

Ellen claimed she was vegan for ethical reasons R61 yet was driving a SUV that only comes in leather seating. About two years ago she said she wasn't vegan anymore. Seems that she has a hard time sticking to things; the dog incident, veganism, housing.

She still licks clit r63.

R63 So what. You recommend she be put to death? Life imprisonment? I wish some DL posters would use their zeal for good and take down Bitch McConnell, Tom Cotton, Devin Nunes, Bill Colostomy Bag Barr, Gym Shoe Jordan, Mike Pence, Trump & Co. and so many others much more worthy.

Her exact quote was "I got my feelings hurt, so I'll just take my ball and my millions and millions of dollars I earned from you all and go home and enjoy the next thirty years in luxury."

Combine 16 year relationship + Lesbian Bed Death + 62 years old and it is statistically unlikely there is much sex happening.

I hope Ellen receives the full Lea Michele treatment.

Why did Karen Kilgariff leave the show? There was some drama there but I can't remember. I've met Karen and she's a sweetheart.

She's worth $330 million.

I'd call it quits with two middle fingers hoisted.

I think she should leave the show she hasn’t been happy in years. Just go on the road and do stand up.

R63, to be fair she was probably drunk at the time she said those things.

Is Portia smart enough to divorce or is she stuck in a crazy Co-D relationship with Elllen? She could walk away with enough to set her up for multiple lifetimes, she could be free to pursue a real romance.

[quote] You people have been calling for her head for days, and now when it seems she may give it to you, you're still complaining, [R9]?

She's still trying to deflect blame on others. Her defenders are trying to blame the men because Ellen can't be that bad.

Get over yourself R65. I was pointing out her hypocrisy.

Ellen totally seems like the kid who had all the softball equipment and when the game wasn’t going her way would threaten to go home and take it all with her.

None of this surprises me.

Ellen's mean streak was apparent with her non-funny male impersonator joke at Liza Minelli at the Academy Awards.

I've disliked her ever since.

This is why being nice to people is good business 'cuz otherwise they'll be laying for yo' ass on the way down.

Portia should step in and host the show until all of this can be resolved.

Can Rosie O come back and take her show again? Get Hasselbeck as a co-host and you'd have a ratings winner and a set that could be pure harmony.

Rosie has too much baggage now R80.

Laverne Cox is beautiful, funny, and a great conversationist. I hope she takes over Ellen's show she will be a fabulous reprsentation for trans women of color in daytime tv. Middle american fraus can finally learn that trans people arent threats to them.

Hi Laverne/r82!!

R56 = Ellen

Hey Gurl!

R84, no, Ellen’s vocabulary isn’t that large.

Couple of questions on the ‘drunk’ angle. First of all is there any actual evidence of this or is it just total speculation? Secondly, even if true why would it even be an issue? She’s not drunk on the show as far as I can see.

[quote]She's still trying to deflect blame on others. Her defenders are trying to blame the men because Ellen can't be that bad.

Are you for fucking real? You seriously want to blame Ellen for the fact that her male execs (two of them gay, surprise surprise), are sexual harassers?

That's Trump levels of delusion.

I get the feeling that 99% of people on these threads only read a headline and completely missed the fact that Ellen's biggest "crime" in all of this seems to be a disinterest in management of the staff.

I assumed it was a given that older gay men who don't have boyfriends and are producers of the show were hitting on cute p.a.'s.

But I'm more interested in the stories about Ellen trying to get people fired, can't look her in the eye, tried to get someone canned for asking 'what floor' when they were in the same elevator.

You just don't dip the pen in the company inc. that's 101.

if I made producer level money, I'd go in, do my work, be friendly, but professional, and then use my money to hire escorts; I don't mean for sex; I mean for companionship.

You're something else, R88. Sexual harassment is just a "given" because hey, older gay men, they're allowed. The REAL crime here is Ellen trying to get someone fired......a story which I guess you just made up on the spot?

Della IS a gay man. I knew it. Who the fuck else cares about L*I*Z*A* Minneli? Liza had sex with Doberman's in the balcony of 54 while others watched. She was also a gay man. RIP.

[quote] You just don't dip the pen in the company inc.

Oh, dear.

R92 What? That was a very clever play on words, don’t be grammar harsh.

It's so crazy to have all that money and be that miserable.

R3 Me too, and you know what, it feels fuck’n wonderful

Yes Kevin is openly gay.

Guess which one Kevin is and see if he could hide it even if he wanted to:

Did Mary's rash clear up yet? I guess we'll never know now. Ellen won't be back. It's too bad that Jane Lynch got the Weakest Link hosting gig. Ellen would have been great at belittling dumb poor people. Is your village missing its idiot? Hilarious stuff like that. Then she laughs, hahhahahaha. At herself, or is it you? Oh well. It's all from home now.

[quote]I hope Ellen receives the full Lea Michele treatment.

We're hoping she receives the full Naya Rivera treatment.

Ellen isn't going anywhere. She knows this is Trollism. In a few weeks we're going to be in election HELL and our computers are going to be overheating with FAKE HEADLINES about polling scams and elderly people being turned away, and black people being lynched in polling booths, and Latino voters being kidnapped by ICE! No one will give two shits about privileged WHITE people who work in Hollywood who don't have Hazelnut Creamer when they show up to work in the morning!!! Gasp! The CRUELTY they endure!

So many people in Hollywood did nothing but stand by and watch when one of the most talented comedians of all time, Roseanne, had her life’s work ripped from her by the evil network execs. I hate to take pleasure in the misery of others, but it is going to be satisfying to me to watch these smug fucks get canceled themselves one by one by one.

She's not going to survive this. It's really not that funny. But she better fucking retire, immediately. And yes Ellen should have defended Roseanne and Kathy Griffin and kicked Kevin Hart in the nuts. It's not a high kick. Don't hang out with George Bush for christ sakes. There's no reason to fire her, but the mob is descending and she's not blameless. Save yourself Ellen. Do you have some money set aside?

Rosie's downfall was worse and yet she keeps returning to make an even bigger fool of herself. Never say never.

Ummm r102 take your meds, please.

Keving Hart's joke was funny. He was riffing on how black fathers are terrified of their sons will be gay. Any gay man can relate to this and see the humor. Well crafted delivery. No apology necessary. Even I can respect that.

Kathy G is fuckin' homophobe who convinced the gays of america that she was an ally when her punchlines were divisive and homophobic garbage like "...BECAUSE HE'S GAY!" (audience laughs and hoots) She's worse than Chelsea Handler! Hard pass.

Proof, men are funnier than women!

She's worth over $300 million, but her reputation is tarnished. Closing the curtain on her dumb TV show and paid Bubly advertising is the least of her worries.

R105=stefonknee wolscht

Good riddance, dyke.

I wonder if the p.a.'s should have taken another path...like spitting in her food or shoving her head in the toilet?

Like that Little House on the Prairie episode in which all the little kids in the school surrounded the big bully and tackled him.

I remember years ago when Rosie O'Donnell was promoted as "The Queen of Nice." Look how that ended!

Who will she have to terrorize now?

Ellen can't stand the heat now that she's been called out and her cover is blown.

Old lesbians are mean.

Mean lesbians are mean.

She needs to leave the show, get a face lift, a new hair job and come back with a comedy special. The celebrity ass kissing and corporate whoring for money was a turnoff

First they came to beat the frightened little gay kids with their dollhouses, then .............

Someone please call the police to have them do a wellness check on Portia.

Ellen is going to be gone, it is just a matter of how much money it is going to cost them. Good for Brad Garrett standing up and telling the truth. I think that his statement will allow other celebrities to stand up too, as we have seen with Lea. From an article on Page Six, "One Hollywood insider said DeGeneres was known to unleash attorney Marty Singer on people she felt had crossed her." Now you know why more people aren't coming forward with their stories about Ellen. Ellen sounds like she was feared more than liked.

Nasty woman

I love it when bullies are cornered and play the defensewess victim.

BRING IT ON, ELLEN!

Ellen DeGeneres Show Exec Producer Shoots Down Cancellation Rumors:

A few examples of her passive-aggressive meanness.

R105 Your trolling is not funny

I don't care about her workplace politics or her reputation as a manager. She's got a great tv persona and I still like her. Some of you seem really REALLY invested in the lives of celebrities. It's almost as if you think hating on Ellen makes you a Hollywood "insider."

I see Ellen's PR people are working overtime trying to defend her. Give it up, clowns. The show is over. Pack up the tent and move on.

The revelations about the sexual assaults and harassment on set are what is ending the Ellen show. She really has no part in it. It will be canceled by Telepictures in the next week or so.

[quote] I see Ellen's PR people are working overtime

This is the same pattern that plays out in Meghan Markle threads. Someone posts an opinion against the grain and they are immediately castigated as a PR drone. Why would you care so much about celebrity gossip? It's not that important. TV is entertainment and dispassionate consumption of pop entertainment is much healthier than freaking out about rumors about celebrities. If she's shown to have broken the law or killed someone I will start caring at this point. You'd think she was a convicted rapist like Bill Cosby the way some of you are carrying on about her.

Her last Netflix special was a horror show R115. She is completely out of touch with reality.

Knock it off R127. Her set was rife with egregious sexual assaults and violations, and a hideous culture which she absolutely knew about. She and her show are rightfully being canceled.

if she quits, walks away, whatever, isn't this admitting fault on her part?..unless she's a true sociopath psycho (i.e. trump), no one would want to do that, if they are TRULY innocent...

R124 is Ellen being abusive to DL posters. So like you, Ellen!

[quote]Some of you seem really REALLY invested in the lives of celebrities.

R124 Look in the mirror, shill.

She can claim the "untrue" stories have overshadowed the good the show and she has done R130.

Even though I don't like her, I sat down to watch her Netflix special because her stand-up is usually good, but I could barely get through it. She really doesn't live in the same world as the rest of us and she just isn't funny anymore. It's hard to explain, but she really seems to despise people and likes to put them down, disguising it as comedy.

I wish Joan Rivers were here to critique this

The real Ellen

Throw enough mud and some of it is bound to stick

If Ellen were queen!

Nearly 30 years ago: Narcissistic, shallow, unfunny, grudging stick figure (Ellen) vs. living, breathing, funny, genuine human (Joan Rivers)...

Lea Thompson agrees with Brad Garrett.

Teams of lawyers must be working furiously to hammer out an exit deal. And I agree with a poster upthread that it's going to cost bigly to release Ellen from her contract. She will demand a gigantic payout. She's not going to just walk away empty handed. Also, it's possible that rumors of her quitting are being floated to give her more negotiating power - she's still the face of a hugely popular enterprise. Factions heavily invested in her "Queen of Nice" persona might be begging her not to leave.

[quote]She will demand a gigantic payout. She's not going to just walk away empty handed.

Good, that's all she cares about, anyway. She can't even fake caring about people or even gorillas.

Most of the people with pitchforks out dont watch Ellen anyways- i doubt shes going anywhere. Its not like she sexually harrassed anyone and not talking to low leverl staffers is not a crime.

Gays are pussies.

R139, her comedy is so unfunny and memememe I just can’t even believe why people like Lily Tomlin were laughing at that.

R102 It's like 1996-era Margot Kidder is communicating with us from beyond the grave.

R127 It's because in the new bIography published about Harry and Meghan, they reveal that both of them have online accounts that they use to comment on articles and on social media. To think that they aren't aware of what people are saying about them and actively trying to counter it, even here on the DL, is naive. You know if those two are doing it, Ellen's people are definitively doing it as well.

[quote]Ellen's people are definitively doing it as well.

R146 Yeah, but they're fairly easy to spot. *yawn*

R107 I miss that crazy bitch. I wonder if she's still fucking her "parents."

She genuinely comes across like she hates her job

Is she a terf? She treated poor NikkieTurotials terrible. Apparently Ellen wouldn’t let her use the restroom because she’s trans.

Have they chased her with pitchforks and torches yet?

Whatever, r124.

It's not being "invested" or wanting to be "insidery" (I've got my own full life to be inside of) to see and hear with your own eyes and ears, that Ellen is mean.

Ellen was gratuitously, unnecessarily mean to Liza at the Academy Awards. Ooooh, how brave of Ellen to, on world-wide TV, in a theatre room filled with powerful "A" listers that it would take real courage to go after, ridicule poor, fallen-star Liza.

Based upon the few times I've watched her daytime show (and this was before and after before slamming Liza) I saw right through the faux "nice" persona.

Ooops, before and after slamming Liza

Who is Liza? Liza who?

Liza who? Fi!

Minnelli

Ooops, the sequel : Fi- Fie!

Ellen's mean barb was certainly felt by Liza...

"And yes Ellen should have defended Roseanne and Kathy Griffin"

Ellen should have defended Kathy? The year prior, Kathy criticized Ellen in the press because Ellen wouldn't allow Kathy on the Ellen show. Kathy blatantly said that Ellen doesn't like to help out other women.

Did either Roseanne or Kathy say anything when Ellen's show was canceled after Ellen came out?

Someone help me understand--there have been rumors about Ellen's nasty behavior for years. Yet it was never considered an "issue". Does anyone here have any idea of what she did to piss someone off? Clearly she had to have pissed off an executive or someone else high up because why now?

Ellen didn't sexually assault or harass anyone. She didn't physically assault anyone. She didn't say homophobic/racist/sexist things to a police officer or a former government worker. Her crime is being cranky and standoffish. Like Johnny Carson. Like 1990s Roseanne Barr. She shouldn't lose her career for that.

R160, that's why I'm wondering who she pissed off. It had to be someone big. Maybe one day she just snapped at some network executive and they just got tired of her shit.

Her ratings have been plummeting because she's mean or the studio wants a reason to get rid of her. Either way Ellen's brand is circling the drain and her toxic jig is up...

Remember a decade ago, Ellen was so popular, Cover Girl made her their "cover girl" lol. Oh, how the might have fallen.

Kathy is a POS. She is not entitled to appear on Ellen’s guest. It’s crazy how people are so demanding of Ellen and when they don’t get what they want it, they spin it as Ellen being mean or degrading.

If I were her I,d leave show biz for good and enjoy my hundreds of millions. Fuck these assholes.

She is really into cats. She should open a shelter and become a crazy cat lady. She had a meltdown on national tv over a shelter problem.

Ellen's show has been around long enough that someone who started out lower than her has made their way up the career ladder and has the power to influence, hence the sudden turn on her. It happened to a tv presenter in the uk, the presenters show had been around roughly the same amount of time as Ellen's show and it was cancelled by someone the presenter had treated like shit.

[quote]She is really into cats.

I think you're confused. She's into PUSSY.

This whole thing is obviously being engineered by Kelly Clarkson.

Kelly is the obvious beneficiary of all of us. I don’t think she had anything to do with it though.

Drew Barrymore is going to have a talk show.

*all of this

Why doesn’t Kate MacKinnon just replace her?

Listen if you don't want sexual advances then don't come to work dressed like a whore. And that includes being normally dressed, and playfully acting like a young slut for jokes. Also, you can't suck dick, swallow the load, accept the promotion and then complain about it years later. No one should ever be bullied, but people need to toughen up.

R173 The 1970's called and they want you back.

Why does daytime TV simultaneously rely on overly-sacchrine dialogue and segments, yet the personalities involved are toxic cunts?

Because it's all about selling to middle America, R175. And who knows how to do that better than a toxic cunt who just wants more and more money?

The QAnon lunatics want her head on a platter bc they are convinced she’s trafficking children. Could they be part of this takedown?

She’s a complete monster but no different from the other monsters if you ask me.

All these presumably straight, white, stay-at-home housewives who watch daytime TV were the bread-and-butter audience for Ellen (lesbian, no kids, gazillionaire). How exactly is she relatable?

Good. Now she can go and minister to those poor Darfur orphans.

This is an example of Ellen being one of the meanest people alive.. She should be treated like Kevin Spacey, a total social pariah.

“ When I was 15 @TheEllenShow was doing a contest of fans making a bust of her and sending it to her. I worked so hard on this and even wrote her a letter. Weeks later she used it as a prop in a game and gave it away to a random person with $500 attached to the bottom”

She's gotta be done.

Brad Garrett; Lea Thompson...there will be more.

And all someone has to do is string all the mean clips together and the video will speak for itself.

“Ellen’s fake and pretends to be kind on tv.as proof here’s clips of her being mean on her talk show!”

Straight woman does it, and Meryl Streep is nominated for an Oscar playing her.

Lesbian does it, and the gays are catty bitches about it.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN

Wendy Williams scapegoated 3 top producers because she opens up her stupid mouth about historically black colleges. Yet the gay lynchmob is silent because she’s sassy, black, and a gossip like them.

They need to replace her with a panel of five Karens.

R185 = homophobe

R187, =loser gay who takes part in lynch Mobs with no regards to truth or fairness just because everyone else gay is doing it.

COVID did her no favors...

[quote]Celebrities whining about being confined to their mansions during quarantine (and proving to be incredibly boring on social media) exposed how out-of-touch and privileged they really are. Not to mention, the constant reports of horrific behavior occurring behind the scenes

[quote]Perhaps, if DeGeneres hadn’t presented an image of compassion and empathy, she might have never found herself on the receiving end of such a dramatic backlash; the broken illusion, the glimpse behind the curtain, might just be what is so upsetting to her fans

Remember the lynch mob that accused 18 year old James Charles of bein gun a sexual predator for flirting with a straight man and made him almost kill himself? That is the same lynch mob dragging Ellen for not talking to low level staffers.

These people are exhausting. Gay twitter (aka STAN TWITTER) is the absolute pits. They want to destroy Ellen’s career because she crossed their fav stars (Mariah, Wendy,Dakota, Etc). These lunatics shouldn’t be allowed to have influence.

Why are we acting like it's just gays who are after Ellen?

Actually James Was cancelled for being a “bad friend” for not promoting his friend vitamins on his YouTube. Channel. Now they want Ellen ruined because she didn’t talk to someone that one time or didn’t give their favorite tranny youtuber her own private toilet and instead made her use the public one with staff.

Only gays and 10 year old girls would get their pitchforks out over that

R188 "Lynch mobs?" "Dragging Ellen for not talking to low level staffers?" Are you fucking serious, you ignorant twat? We're not a monolithic group. Clearly, you'll say anything to deflect attention away from Ellen's many years of nasty, denigrating behavior and other abuses on her show. You've destroyed your credibility by exposing yourself as a hater and homophobe.

R193, what nasty denigrating behavior? Not talking to someone is not the same as denigrating them.

I wish Elaine Strich were alive. She'd know how to tearv Ellen another asshole.

R191, Because gays are leading the way. Literally nobody else cares if Ellen doesn’t talk to Low level staffers.

Clearly R194 has been living under a rock.

R197, All of those are things that only a gay or a 10 year old girl would have a problem with.

She forgot Katy Perry was married. OMG!

She literally made her entire career post lesbian reveal as the Queen of Nice. Let’s not be at all surprised at her downfall once that was revealed to not be true.

This will end in a murder suicide

Ellen teased Mariah about her pregancy on air and wasnt psychcic enough to realize that she was about to have a miscarriage?? Wow what an evil bitch.

I never trust anyone who eats pussy

I can’t wait for the musical, Ellevita!

R197, Did you even watch the video you posted? Making Kathy Griffin cry? Forgetting Katy Perry was married? Yeah, those are really serious allegations.

Crossing the picket line is the only thing that actually seems evil.

R198 Sure, they may seem trivial but taken together, they paint a picture of Ellen's character. She's not the "kind" person she pretends to be. In fact, she's clearly quite the opposite.

R205, make up your mind. Either she pretends to be kind or she’s a total bitch on her show (and these clips prove it). It can’t be both.

R206 Clearly, it's both -- she promotes kindness but doesn't walk her talk. Not only is she a big hypocrite, she's victimizing people with degrading, nasty, humiliating behavior.

For someone who insists this is all trivial, you're spending a lot of time trying to derail this thread. lol

[quote]She forgot Katy Perry was married. OMG!

These things happen.

Regarding the clip someone posted about an employee that was very shy and Ellen called her out to the set. I am extremely shy and I find that one of the most cruel things you can do to a shy person.

yasss Ellen take the heat off me gurl, Im not as big a bitch as you!

Somewhere, extremely pregnant, Lea Michelle is heaving a sign of relief that as she nears the moment of her first child’s birth she is no longer the most despised woman in the United States.

R211, Only gay twitter hates Lea Michele. Nobody else cares.

The most hated woman is and always will be Miss Clinton.

Blind Gossip has been running blinds about what a behind the scenes monster she is for years. Today they revealed her as the answer to a 2016 blind.

Blind Gossip has been running blinds about what a behind the scenes monster she is for years. Today they revealed her as the answer to a 2016 blind.

Can’t we cancel the term “blind gossip” in this day and age and replace it with something less derogatory to the visually impaired?

R214 Surprisingly comprehensive.

R208 it's not like Katy had one of the best marriages ever; no one would EVER forget that.

Oops.

R200, I've always thought Ellen would end it.

She is either crazy or was so scarred as a child from abuse and being taunted over her sexuality.

Or both.

Her mother allegedly not believing her over abuse? (Has mom admitted to that? Is she still alive?)

Either way, we have a new era in Hollywood. Assholic celebs need to start scrubbing their social and start learning the names of the p.a.'s, pages, and audience coordinators -- you know, the little people.

R178, because you are thinking about demographics of daytime tv viewing from the 1970s. The TV landscape has changed. There are many minorities and college kids who tuned into Ellen. Hell TiVo also throws a wrench in things.

From r214's link :

From a former staffer: She had a little bowl of mints by her door, and whenever you were going to talk to her, her rule was that you would have to pop a mint first or she wouldn’t speak to you.

That’s not all.

The other thing is that she is very sensitive to the way people smell. She would wrinkle her nose and ask staffers and crew members (who do a lot of physical labor) in front of everyone if they had showered that day. Could you even imagine if your boss did that to you? And in front of your colleagues? If she thought you smelled bad, she would tell you to go home and take a shower. She really embarrassed some people.

Was wrking on a show @ WB that was next to her stage. Was our showrunner’s 50th Bday. Caterer grilling steaks outside for special fancy lunch. Ellen sent someone over to demand they stop, as she doesn’t eat meat. She’s the worst.

My brother is a Wish kid. His wish was to be at the 12-days of Ellen, which was arranged. 1 month before they cancelled because, “Ellen refuses to interact with disabled people.” Crushed his heart.

--------

Ok now I'm starting to change my mind.

R220, The last one seems a little over the top. I don’t believe the organization would tell him “Ellen refuses to interact with disabled people”.

Yeah that sounds weird I agree.

She's done. Good news for a change, me likey.

[quote]Did either Roseanne or Kathy say anything when Ellen's show was canceled after Ellen came out?

It last a year after she came out and was tanking in the ratings before she came out. Coming out allowed the show to go on another year.

Has Laura Dern commented?

Don’t count Ellen out.

Scooter Braun may be the only celebrity in her corner right now, but embattled talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is not going down without a fight. She’s also going back to work this month, according to an internal email from the show’s executive producers obtained by the Post.

Reports of her career death — stemming from recent scathing stories about the “toxic,” “sexist” and “racist” workplace culture at the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” — have been greatly exaggerated, sources close to the 62-year-old star told the Post Saturday.

Despite her career collapsing around her, DeGeneres has no intention of walking away from her signature talk show or game show. She plans to report to work Aug. 24 for “Ellen’s Game of Games” and to the set of the “Ellen Show” when it premieres Sept. 9, according to the internal email.

“We know that these last few days have been a lot to take in and process for everyone,” read part of the email which was signed, “Love, the EPs.”

An insider at the show said, “She’s fighting to protect the show and what she stands for. She is very upset about what happened and determined to fix the problems. She takes full responsibility. But no way is she quitting the show. That’s total BS.”

But DeGeneres is “devastated” over how Hollywood has turned on her so fast. Celebrities including Brad Garrett and Lea Thompson have called out Ellen for her mean behavior. Some in her circle wonder if it all started with her being seen with former President George W. Bush at a Dallas Cowboys game last October.

Dear Ellen:

Want to get a fresh start? Shit can each and every one of your bitchy, whining, petulant production staff, and anybody else who you're sick to death of hearing their constant carping. Take satisfaction that after you've jettisoned these miserable, wretched leeches, they'll have plenty of time to bitch and complain to their coworkers as they stand in the very, very long unemployment line due to the Corona. Then write your Congress people to make sure they DO NOT extend that $600.00/week federal unemployment. Make these cunts sweat and rue the day they tried to stab you in the back.

Good look, Ellen. We love you.

Wow, amazing that the comeback, empire and queen of daytime persona she obtained the last 17 years will be erased and all anyone will remember when her name is mentioned is that she's cunt.

Ellen used to have space for a row of wheelchair users in the very front row. She made a point of dancing with them. Some wheelchair users were frustrated with her seating design, because all wheelchair users had to sit in that front row and there were no additional chairs for the people they were with, so they were separated from their groups. While some liked the visibility of the front row, others would have preferred to sit with people they came with, rather than just other wheelchair users.

So I question the wish kid as she definitely had people with disabilities at her show. I am not sure if she ever had a quest with disabilities.

James Corden to replace Ellen

James Corden would be way too risky. A white man who also has a history of not being nice to people. He is very similar to Ellen personality wise.

In 2020, in the current climate, they are going to replace an out lesbian with a straight white guy?

Corden already has a show.

Has anyone worked with him?

[R231] Strange how easily a consensus opinion builds that a "straight white man" would be unacceptable.

Sleepwalking into bigotry.

Corden would be a big hit. Ellen is over and no A lister will go on her show until the investigation is complete.

Corden is under exclusive contract to CBS. Doubtful he would or could take over Ellen's contracts with NBC, which include her syndicated talk show.

His contract ends in 2022, as does hers. I really don’t think Ellen would get any good guests until the investigation is over. Even then, if it finds she directly contributed to abuse or harassment (including scaring or embarrassing employees), she is finished.

It would be more lucrative for Corden and he'd get a bigger platform if he ditched CBS for syndication.

To the person who said Ellen should have defended Kathy Griffin, why? Kathys been attacking Ellen for years. Simply because she didnt want to do an episode honoring Joan Rivers.

Apparently, Corden's also a dick.

I'd like nominate Craig Ferguson to replace Ellen.

Someone send a private plane to Scotland to retrieve him and hand him a big fat check.

As an added bonus, he will HAVE A BAND this time!

R243 Fuck, yeah. Ferguson was the real deal. Here he is talking about his latest book...

James Corden isn't funny so he'd be perfect to replace Ellen.

I love Ferguson but lasted only about a minute because of the HORRIBLE interviewer.

I really want Meryl Streep to come out with something really nasty about her.

Ferguson said in R244's link he doesn't miss his talk show. It was interesting he said there are people behind the scenes making sure he was happy, just as there are people behind to scene to make George happy.

Who’s George?

I believe Craig doesn't miss his old talk show, Letterman worked against him, wouldn't even give him the budget for a band.

Perhaps in a new situation with actual support from TPTB it could be a win/win for all concerned.

Good grief. Craig Ferguson is too old and drunk for daytime TV.

I'd take Ferguson over Corden any day.

Ferguson's too intelligent for daytime TV

Tamar Braxton is available.

I picture Meghan McCain's nazi husband incessantly calling the network demanding the timeslot for his wife ....after all she has done for The View's ratings and SHE'S JOHN MCCAIN'S DAUGHTER.

Ferguson sold his mansion in Los Angeles and bought one in Glasgow, along with another place - a townhouse or something. He enrolled his 7 year old son there last year. I think he's permanently moved back home and intends to stay there.

Wonder why he got fed up? Letterman? Trump? (it shocked me when he had Jay Leno on his show after Dave retired. Bet he hates his guts)

*he enrolled his son in SCHOOL there...

Ferguson on why he left

He seems to be at that point in life where you stop being able to be something you're not.

Yikes, seven year old son, shouldn’t that be grandson!

"In 2020, in the current climate, they are going to replace an out lesbian with a straight white guy"

white cis lesbaisns dont have protection in woke circles. Its not like shes black or trans.

Looked him up - he's 9 now - Craig is 58.

George Stephanopoulos R249. He was the one that interviewed Craig at R244's link.

There's a lot rumors about Corden too. That behind the scenes he's not the nicest guy in the world or the straightest.

Still no word from Aniston or Witherspoon on how their “friend” Ellen would never do this? LOL. I bet she has no real friends.

No one in Hollywood does R265. Someone said if you want a friend in Hollywood, get a dog.

r264, today's first blind at CDAN: "There is a lot of buzz that this foreign born talk show host may replace the one named host. Great idea. Replace the most hated host with the second most hated host."

R267 Baby steps.

Her brother is her closest friend. They are both greedy dicks. Portia wants out.

Portia is being held hostage I tell you! Free Portia Now! Free Portia Now!

The need to reboot "Girl Talk," but with Lindsey Graham replacing Virginia Graham. He could ROCK that wig.

R231. He's too fat.

I predict some top level producers will be fired and better working conditions will be instituted, but Ellen will go on with the show.

I will enjoy the the utter disappointment of the ridiculous nellies here, creaming themselves at the thought of her demise.

Ellen is too cowardly to go on with the show. She can't handle even small amounts of criticism. Her first response to this was deadly. Blaming everyone else. Lose their loyalty girl. They already hate working for you. This is just such a weird thing to explode like this. Roseanne was gone in 48 hours. It might take Ellen a week. There's nothing very substantive to the story all, but no one is coming to her defense. It's so fucking strange. Bitch must be hitting the tequila hard about now and frantically texting her friends with one eye closed. You ALL know how that happens.

[quote]There's nothing very substantive to the story all, but no one is coming to her defense.

Exactly, so why would anyone come to her defense?

Celebrity X: "Knowing Ellen well, there is no way that the people she has working for her are sexual predators and unfeeling monsters". Great.

It's different if she knew all this was going on and did nothing, but that hasn't been shown so far.

If you were a celebrity would you go out on a limb for Ellen or her show when you don't really know much about the situation? Besides they all have these little rules themselves about no looking or talking.

Her brand is done. There will be no bouncing back.

Sadistic cunt

Delusions of grandeur

^ Serving "Gollum as lady golfer" realness

Is being a grouch a crime now? SjW gays are the worst.

Grouch? Please. It’s spelled harassment.

Just don’t give the job to James Corden.

R179 That's ok. We don't want her. You guys can keep her.

Lol, James Corden is a bigger cunt than Ellen, if that is possible, it’s the second worse kept secret in Hollywood. He’s not getting the job. Whoever was leaking that was doing it as a joke.

Her brand is definitely done. Once her ratings start to tank, and they will, she’ll be dumped.

I can’t stand that fat fuck James Corden.

Jerry O'Connell has experience stepping in when daytime talk show hosts go off the rails...

He's busy making movies R284. Wanda Sykes is the logical choice.

Ellen is often funny. While being mean. James Corden is kind of a bully. That outrageous amount of laughing at himself and the happy fat boy gay pandering? He practically assualts his guests with too much good humor and hyper displays of excitement. He's not Graham Norton - but bitch stole his show. Ellen's gig is directly stolen from Rosie. Except that Ellen has much worse musical taste. Bad taste in talent. And Rosie gave us Broadway. Ellen spends two segments promoting Camila Cabello lip synching and bearding! Because it's so important to be out of the closet. Who the fuck is so traumatized 25 years after they cancelled your sitcom when your character came out as gay? All gay people suffer PTSD, I know it myself. But Ellen has had nothing but success from the time she was in clubs. And everyone always *knew* she was a lesbian. But don't make us watch you kiss Laura Dern. Did y'all really think they're wouldn't be letters? Imagine what Will and Grace get. Why be such a baby about everything. I don't get where Ellen was ever a LGBT hero and I sure don't get it after she sold out to dancing for young white moms everyday while caping for all the worst players in show business. Fuck her. Ellen doesn't really care what anyone thinks. She loves the applause, the applause, the applause. I wonder what Tony thought of her? He always stuck me as a man who didn't love all of Ellen's white lady pandering. She replace him with TwiTch. Which I think means he likes to slam tina!

R33 I saw Brad in Atlantic City a few years ago, he was a dick to the audience (not in a Rickles kind of way) . The next day he was walking in the mall connected to Caesars that is shaped like a ship on the boardwalk. He was giving a death stare to anyone who looked at him. We could tell he was daring people to say anything to him, we didn't.

Given what Brad said about Ellen and Lea backing him up you would think one person would have called him a hypocrite, yet crickets.

On Portia's Instagram she claims she is a "former actress and now owner of General Public, an art curation and publishing company." Did she quit acting or the roles dried up.

Portia posted a “I stand with Ellen” picture on Instagram and NO celebrity reposted it. Face plant

Come on, everyone must have seen Portia's blue and white movement today on Twitter and Insta? She makes no long statement - because she's not capable - but she's trying to trend #IStandByEllen. This kind of pile on is insane. Are there any celebrities with a big career who stay away from social media? I don't think it's possible. Certainly Ellen is everywhere to promote her show. NOW, I would just turn off my phone, go to work and see if they fire me.

If Portia is having blue and white movements, she needs to see a gastroenterologist. That's not normal.

What else is Portia going to do? Disrupt her multi million dollar meal ticket? In the grand scheme of things they both mean nothing. Sure absolutely no one would care if they both just disappeared to an island never to be heard from again. But I can’t imagine having to climb in bed with that chiclet teeth, huge ears ugly bitch Ellen every night.
