Ellen a cunt

[FRANKRIZZO]

Toxic work culture, race remark allegations. Employees told not to look or talk to her. Who knew?

Why do African American men hate gay people so much? You have to admit they don't like gay people.

You mean a lesbian was aggressive and blunt? Who woulda thunk it?

Some combination of religion and a misinformed concept of manhood. I have no problem with gays.

Bye Ellen

Her whole explanation of how her show "isn't challenging anymore" is insulting to the public.

For someone who comes off so nice on TV, she really turned out to be awful and out-of-touch in reality. She should have either quietly ended the program without explanation, or gave some sort of apology that she didn't realize that many people had bad experiences working on her show, and for that reason she has decided to end it.

Here it just looks like excuse-making, and almost saying that the show itself is now beneath her, so she's quitting.

I'm surprised that Portia hasn't divorced her by now. Portia wasn't a lesbian. She was a pretty bisexual many years Ellen's junior.
It appeared she got with Ellen for career advancement reasons. However, now Portia is 48, her career never really took off further (in fact it regressed), and any practical reason for marrying Ellen is out the window.

Maybe she really loves Ellen, though it's hard to picture, given how Ellen apparently treats people. I can't imagine that Ellen has ever treated Portia as an equal.

Of course not. Ellen's the butch and Portia is the femme. 100% Ellen kept her on the reservation and stopped her from cruising for dick by using a giant black strap-on.

Swear to god I was thinking something similar earlier today. She’s a stand up comedian, and a good one, but now she’s Dr. Phil, Oz or any Oprah.

Don’t fuck her

[Dan Druff]

Here's what was considered the beginning of Ellen's downfall. In 2019, she had Dakota Johnson on her show. On previous visits to the show, Ellen razzed Johnson about not inviting her to her birthday party. Johnson thought Ellen was serious, and made sure she was invited to her 30th, which was in 2019, not too long before this taping.

Well, Ellen decided to continue with the same schtick a second time, which irritated Johnson, who had actually invited Ellen, and Ellen had declined to go after all that! So here was Ellen razzing her again for not inviting her, which was total bullshit. Johnson called her out for it, and Ellen suddenly got very uncomfortable, having been caught in the silly lie.

While this wasn't a major incident, it was the first crack in Ellen's armor. The audience started to wonder if Ellen's entire goofy everywoman demeanor was an act, and rumblings about this eventually led to former employees coming forward about the toxic environment on the show.

Then a million viewers ditched the show, and here we are.

rofl TODGEPOKER EAR TO THE GROUND ON ELLEN NEWS is a wild turn

The other problem here is that Ellen basically has alienated both sides of the politcal aisle.

She's a gay Hollywood liberal, so conservatives aren't exactly warm to her.

At the same time, the left is angry with her, both for her friendship with George W. Bush and her refusal to use her show for political commentary. While the left has generally softened on Bush because he hates Trump so much, they were still kinda pissed at Ellen, whom they viewed as somewhat of a traitor.

So when the allegations of the toxic workplace started flowing, the media wasn't interested in covering for her, and the right took delight in yet another affable Hollywood liberal being proven a hypocrite.

In the end, nobody liked Ellen anymore, and she had to go away.
