New tales of Ellen being an absolute CUNT

Finally. I'm so tired of all these celebrities being bashed for being rude yet there's only like one instance or anecdote and it's never even anything all that terrible.

Vile creature.

When I was the backstage manager of a northern California arts center (90s, early 2000), she couldn't have been a nicer guest.

Money and power changes people.

Eventually, who you are always shows on your face. Ellen couldn’t be a better example of this.

"Doesn't your fucking brat KNOW that its 'thing' is right in the middle of Ellen's Mirthful Month of Holiday Spirit Giveaways, GODDAMMIT?"

If you watch her early talk show episodes and compare them to later ones, you can see a change in her demeanour. She definitely hardened as a person, or else became less effective at hiding it. Perhaps a bit of both.

America's Beloved Cunt.

In other news, water is wet.

News at 11!

Of course she hates men. She was molested by her stepfather and she’s a dyke.

She hates everyone, R10.

I hope more dirt from her sitcom days emerges. Kathy Griffin can’t be the only one with stories.

I so don’t care how Ellen is personally. She will never been my friend, only my entertainer.

I expect people who are running a show to be kind of mean. One wrong move, and everyone loses their jobs.

Oh well, the cancelling seems to have worked out well for her. She's of retirement age; time to stop and smell the flowers.

I’m not really feeling badly for her as she nurses her canceling at her multimillion euro horse farm in the storybook Cotswolds.

But r15, if she’s miserable to others, she’s miserable herself. And often, all the money in the world won’t change that.

I don't care if someone is mean to other people. Other people aren't real to me.

I expect if someone is wealthy and famous and has a hit TV show, they have the right to abuse other people however they like. Like I said, they aren't real to me. Only I am real.

She must really know how to eat pussy, though!

Well, Scissor me timbers!

R13 It's a professional environment and there's no excuse for treating workers that way. It isn't just about being mean, it's a years long pattern of crossing professional boundaries.

I can smell her nappy pussy….

I used to work in the entertainment industry and, believe me, it is chock full of assholes and cunts

I still dislike Rosie O’Lesbo more than Ellen Degenerate.

Let's all be kind to one another....

Scissor Me Timbors is a great title

She always looks uncomfortable in photos with Porsha. Like she knows she looks like shit standing next to her.

It's her style. R26. That and the rumored alcoholism takes its toll.

This is probably the best she's ever looked. Even if she kept the makeup and hair but was in a better tailored suit, she would have looked aces.

[quote]She hates everyone, [R10].

Except her best friend the war criminal.

R28- That MONKEY she is sitting next to is a TOTAL simpleton.

Vice President Cheney is THE war criminal who should be serving multiple life terms in prison.

I wonder if the locals in the UK like her. She might be an okay person to deal with as long as she has zero power over you.

[quote]I wonder if the locals in the UK like her.

NOPE.

Fake-ass! Don't you hate it when celebrities act so caring and kind in public while being a raging narcissist behind closed doors?

I somehow missed this scandal.

It appears that Ellen has the same mental disorder that Leona Helmsley had.

[quote] It appears that Ellen has the same mental disorder that Leona Helmsley had.

For a second, I got Leona confused with Lorena Bobbit but then I realized Ellen would only have her own dick to cut off.

R27 Johnny Walker Bleck Eyes.

A former writer on the show comes out and calls her a CUNT.

[quote]Greg Fitzsimmons, a comedian, writer and actor, was on the show from the very beginning as a joke writer. For a while, he was even responsible for being the warm-up guy before the show. In a recent interview on the We Might Be Drunk podcast he reminisced about his experience on the show. He didn’t have glowing reviews. “Yeah, I did the first two years on that show,” Fitzsimmons recalled. “And she was rough. She was the c-word.”

I get hating people but it sounds like she’s just needlessly cruel and exploiting people who work under her.

I love how it's years later, the show is long over and Ellen is out of the spotlight, and these stories are [italic]still[/italic] coming out.

I had a nasty boss decades ago who I still sometimes think about. I'll still flash back to something they said or did back then. I guess it's a lot like that.

It's almost quaint how social media has basically killed all the "magic" of the entertainment industry. That's just not possible anymore. I remember sooooo many suburban women in the 00s loving Ellen because she was "so nice and funny".

And what about Oprah?

Oprah is in phase 2 of her latest yo yo diet and doesn't do stairs.

[Quote] I expect if someone is wealthy and famous and has a hit TV show, they have the right to abuse other people however they like. Like I said, they aren't real to me. Only I am real.

The PTSD comes out in stages.

Seems like more than a few here are unaware that employees working with celebrities like Ellen are made to sign non-disclosure agreements that state they are prohibited from sharing any of their experiences.

Thankfully, a lot of them are now realizing those are agreements are bullshit and are going public with the harassment and abuse they suffered under.

[quote]It's almost quaint how social media has basically killed all the "magic" of the entertainment industry.

Ellen destroyed her own career by being a miserable bitch.

True sweethearts like Doris Day, Betty White, Dinah Shore, Ann Margret, Dolly Parton to name a few never had to go out of their way to tag themselves with any kind of labels or announce how kind and wonderful they were. They just were/are good human beings.

Most celebrities who are tagged with "Nice" or "Sweetheart" are often the worst people to work for. (Julia, Rosie, Ellen)

I have a friend who irked for Ellen and has horror stories (can’t be more specific). She’s a monster.

This just proves that there is no such thing as Karma. Trump, Putin, Bush (both), Oprah, Gayle, Faye Dunaway, et. all, proves you can be as big of a cunt that you want to forever, and nothing bad happens to you. Who DIDN'T know Ellen was a cunt? That's been old news forever.

That reminds me, R47.

I have a friend who was walking through people's backyards in Boulder, CO, one Christmas night years ago and what he saw through a window and told me about was so horrible I have been in therapy for ever since (can't be more specific).

Ellens a cunt. No need to read any new examples.

R49 Where do you live?

Her wife's name is Amanda Lee Rogers. She made up the other name when she was 15.

R46 Don’t forget James Corden!

R47 Your friend irked for Ellen? She's so horrible she has to get others to do some of her irking for her?

Back in the 2000s I knew a woman who worked on Ellen's talk show. She told me stories about what a cunt Ellen was. Years later when other people who worked for Ellen posted their stories on social media, they were identical to the ones this woman told me.

I think Ellen’s had or maybe has a drinking issue. I don’t think she’s as much of a monster as we hear, but can she be cruel? I have no doubt. Is she an absolute classist with little interest in everyday people and only sees other famous and ultra wealthy people as her equals? For sure. Martha Stewart is the same way if not worse, but she doesn’t get half the flack that Ellen does.

FFS, R56. So, the multitude of examples that have come out are lies or exaggerations?

R46, so true. This is why I am always wary of men on apps who have "be kind" or "I am a nice guy" on their profile; it's a red flag.

R56, please try to find another word than "classist" to describe a low-end non-entertainer harridan who treats her servants improperly and belittles the very people on whom she needs to rely.

We deal squarely with our own, and are kindly impartial to those not of our class. That is what "class" means in another of its definitions.

Didn't she try to have a waitress fired because her nail polish was chipped?

Yes R60, she had a waitress fired over a chipped nail. She also had an underling from another show that filmed at the same studio fired because he was too slow moving his golf cart when she was trying to exit in her car. She actually tracked him down to find out where he worked and called that show and demanded that he be fired. He was fired 3 days later. They never told him why but he knew.

She's evil. If you cross her path and dare to slip up she'll track you down and destroy you. This billionaire "comedian" who has the utter gall to tell everyone to "be kind," goes on the warpath against waitresses and lowly production assistants.

Pure evil.

There are very few things that DL will excuse and support more than a Mean Drunk.

Maybe it's because there are more of them among the ranks than they care to admit.

Why didn't anyone ever tell her to fuck off?

Being a cunt is bad enough, but cultivating an image as a kind person, and making “kindness” into your main message is some sick shit.

I don't think she cares everyone knows she's a cunt. I used to think maybe she did. I'd love her money but I'm fine knowing I'm a friendly, well-liked person. I don't understand how miserable people like this live with themselves.

R56, alcohol brings out who people really are.

Mean drunk? Mean person.

Nice drunk? Nice person.

In vino vertas or something

[quote] Trump, Putin, Bush (both), Oprah, Gayle, Faye Dunaway

All the same level of evil.

I don't have any sympathy for anyone who worked for Ellen as some big exec. I'm sure he was making enough money that he was willing to reschedule his kid's skin graft or whatever. If he wasn't, he should have quit. It's easy to come forward now and say this, and I'm sure Ellen is a flaming twat, but this dude didn't go all Norma Rae or anything, and he knew she was even harder on the little peoplet there. She probably is an alcoholic and a terror, but I wouldn't fucking work for her to begin with. I remember years ago the Steve Harvey thing came out, about how he had a rule not to talk to him in the hallways and I think we on DL didn't think it was too bad, but many people did. I would be stoked if my boss had a rule I was never to talk to them. It makes my life easier not having to make phony conversation. You work in Hollywood with raging narcissistic people. Ellen's an egomaniac with an inferiority complex, like every drunk and actor.

R28 At least I don't claim to be besties with Lyle fucking Menendez, the guy who shotgunned his mom and then reloaded, all for money.

Ellen ain't no billionaire, sweetie.

Why did Twitch commit suicide?

I have a feeling that she's only mean to people when she has power over them, r63. That's how most bullies operate. I doubt she's mean to some random person she sees in the Waitrose parking because they'd just say "fuck off you old slag".

r73 there are numerous stories of Ellen being a cunt to service people.

Yeah she has power over them, r74

Running tally of horrible celebrity lesbians: Ellen, Rosie, and Jillian Michaels.

How about the closeted ones in the Trump administration?

Saw an interview this morning with Margaret Cho. She had been the opening act for Ellen several times in the 80s, but when she did her talk show, Ellen acted like they’d never met. Also, David Bowie was the first guest that episode, and told a story about how much he loved Margaret and had seen her the night before in an outfit he’d loved—and Ellen had the whole bit cut out of the episode that aired.

Did Mandy become anorexic to cope with Ellen’s alcoholism?

I don't give the partners of vile celebrities a free pass. No sympathy from me, they have the money to get away. Water seeks its own level. Whoever is with these wealthy celebrity assholes is no better. Whatever Portia's nastiness is she just delivers it in a different or more covert manner than Ellen.

I heard she killed Vince Foster

Y'know - I believe most of this.

As dismissive as we can be, Kathy Griffin talked about how mean Ellen was 20 years ago. You can have your views on Kathy - but she's pretty honest overall.

It's a shame because I feel like both Rosie and Ellen have been taken down and being a lesbian may be a part of that. Of course - the media also loves to rip into women in general as well.

But I hate that a famous gay celebrity was so awful - it just feeds into homophobic bullshit.

Ellen bullying an 11 year old fat kid, as a 20 year old, is the cherry on top of this messy cake. What a C U N T!

R82, Rosie at least went toe to toe with Trump and she gets my full respect for that. But Ellen? No thanks.

[quote] and Ellen had the whole bit cut out of the episode that aired.

That is extremely cunty.

At the time deGeneres' talk show was garnering a lot of attention, my lesbian neighbors followed and enjoyed the show. But it wasn't but a few months later that they turned wary of her. The reason: DeGeneres joked too often and too hard about drinking and drunkenness. She would, they said, go out of her way to chase that line of humor despite, more often than not, falling flat for having pushed too hard. They even showed me a couple of examples from their daily recordings of the show and made, I thought, quite a convincing argument. When they explained and then showed me a couple examples, i began to see her in other contexts doing the same and it all made sense. And fit with a sort of humor that drew upon a cruel streak.

When the stories began to pour forth, they were no surprise

[quote] I expect if someone is wealthy and famous and has a hit TV show, they have the right to abuse other people however they like. Like I said, they aren't real to me. Only I am real.

Is this satire? If not, you should immediately schedule an MRI or fMRI to determine which Cluster B personality disorder you have and then stay the fuck away from normal, well-adjusted human beings for the remainder of your evil, miserable existence,

R87 has no sense of humor.

I feel bad for Portia. Being in a relationship with a narcissist or a dark triad personality is a true hell, one which is often inescapable as my mom learned - or didn't learn, unfortunately.

R86, huh? Ellen joked too much about drinking so your lesbian neighbors soured on her? I don't quite follow.

R89, tell me about it. But my victim got lucky....

I don't feel bad for Portia, r89. If Ellen was mean to her in private, she would divorced her and taken a big payout years ago.

Ellen is not a cunt.

She is THEEE cunt!

Speaking of TV lesbians and alcohol does anyone remember in the early days of our dear friend Rachel Maddow she would actually mix her favorite drinks on a segment of her early shows and share them with guests? Maybe I dreamed that?

[quote]Running tally of horrible celebrity lesbians: Ellen, Rosie, and Jillian Michaels.

Honestly, Rosie comes across pretty good these days compared to the other two.

Yeah, I don’t like that Rosie is a Menendez supporter, but I like a lot of other things about her, primarily how she goes after Cheeturd.

Rosie has a personality disorder. She needs therapy (a lot more of it) and medication. No, she probably still wouldn't be someone you liked, but she's not evil.

Ellen is evil. Jillian is evil. They enjoy inflicting pain on people while pretending to be a force for good. If that's not evil O don't know what is, that description could apply to Trump and a lot of other really bad folks in history.

But that kind of evil-masquerading-as-good goes far beyond being a lousy parent or having a weird take on a criminal case or just being a rude bitch sometimes. Rosie's a lot to take and has her faults but she's far from evil. She's speaking out against Trump while Ellen silently counts her money and smugly hides her obvious MAGA tendencies. Wouldn't be shocked at all if she voted for him. Remember how chummy she was with George W? While Jillian is openly and proudly MAGA. I'm sorry, Rosie just doesn't come close to their awfulness.

Of all her sitcom co-stars, I’m a little surprised Jeremy Piven hasn’t made any comments. He seemed to be the one who least enjoyed his experience on her show.

[quote] I feel bad for Portia.

Why? She’s the most successful prostitute in Hollywood.

Trumps a cunt. No need to read any new examples.

[quote] Speaking of TV lesbians and alcohol does anyone remember in the early days of our dear friend Rachel Maddow she would actually mix her favorite drinks on a segment of her early shows and share them with guests? Maybe I dreamed that?

As I recall it was at the end of the Friday show as she was signing off for the week. And not shared with guests, but didn’t she have some kind of sidekick?

Why does Ellen have a toddler’s haircut?

R87, you're the one who needs an MRI to determine the cause of your complete inability to detect satire, sarcasm or subtlety. Are you brain damaged?

My post at R17 is a parody of the one at R13. That's why I signed it the way I did. That's also why I made it so absurd. I figured most people could recognize the obvious parody. Guess not?

What's hilarious is that multiple people took the time to call out my over-the-top parody that's clearly dripping with absurdities, but zoomed right past R13's sincere expression of complete apathy for anyone Ellen ever harmed.

Lots of high-horse riders on DL without a fucking clue.

I started disliking her after she came out on her sitcom. It did not have to be the crux of every episode. Ellen was not the first lesbian but wow, you'd think it. Even Elton John complained about this.

As for her being a pain in the ass on the talk show, I can see it. I don't think she liked Kate McKinnon doing an impression of her at all. Kate was earnest about being a fan, too.

i worked with ellen indirectly, and can confirm, she’s a cunt.

Was this actually funny?

When she cut Anne He he's brake line.

I'd be happy with a new Ellen cunt story every week. They're always great.

It could replace Thank God It's Friday r108. Thank God it's time for another story of Ellen being a cunt!

[quote] Even Elton John complained about this.

I can't stand Ellen but Elton John can go fuck himself. He's always quick to defend or do a duet with any celeb accused of being homophobic.

My shitty brother Kal-El is such a fucking do-gooder. I HATE him.

The snake thing is exactly why I stopped being amused by her. All the mean practical “jokes.” She’s a sadist.

Practical jokers at that level, exploiting an actual phobia with an elaborate set up, are psychopaths. It's one thing to slip a whoopie cushion on someone's chair, that's a harmless prank that anyone could fall for. But targeting someone over their expressed fears? Humiliating them publicly? That's some fucked up shit.

What was the game show she hosted briefly? Some sort of obstacle course where people had to avoid large silly props and shooting foam while running through tunnels and leaping over gaps and such? It was years before her final scandal broke but I remember her getting massive criticism for the obvious glee she took when contestants were eliminated in some particularly humiliating way. She would mock them mercilessly for laughs with that dead-eyed look she always has. I just remember a lot of noise on social media about it and then it was cancelled. A rare glimpse behind the curtain back then, and they were right about her all along.

The games she had on her daytime show often involved the humiliation of the contestants. Then they made a night time game show that was like a bunch of those games put together.

So Ellen fully embraces the cruelty in comedy

It's interesting that Dakota Johnson was the only celebrity to call her out on her bullshit directly to her face.
