Her “fall”. Ellen DeGeneres started by a tweet from the comedian Kevin T. Porter in March 2020, which asked people to “craziest stories you’ve heard about Ellen as a villain” and collected 2,600 responses!

The comedian, who until recently was known as a good public figure, crossed the line – without a doubt – when she became the host of her own show in 2003, six years after publicly “coming out” as gay and just a few months after coming back her breakthrough as the voice of ‘Dory’ in Pixar’s hit film ‘Finding Nemo’.

And while she’s built a reputation as a “lovable” and friendly comedian who doesn’t use profanity or make jokes at others’ expense, there have been rumors in Hollywood for years that she’s not as “warm” and friendly as some would like to believe. .. These rumors peaked in 2020, with several press reports, with celebrities and non-celebs, current and former employees coming forward and sharing their stories about the presenter.

So, as Ellen announces that she’s “done” with showbiz after her Netflix special, let’s take a look at what went from top to bottom in the entertainment industry.

For the comedian and presenter, the first clouds… of doubt came in October 2019, when she attended a Dallas Cowboys football game in a luxury gallery, where she sat next to George W. Bush.

The footage from the cameras was clear. They were enjoying each other’s company, which caused an absolute stir, with thousands of critical comments appearing on social media. Critics have pointed out that while Ellen has been a champion for the LGBTQ community, Bush has supported various policies that harm gay people, including a proposed constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a union between only one man and one woman.

Whispers about the comedian’s behavior became “voice” in April 2020, after comedian Kevin T. Porter posted on Twitter. “Right now we all need a little kindness. You know, like Ellen Degeneres always talks about!”he tweeted. “He is one of the meanest people alive. Reply to this message by writing the craziest stories you’ve heard about Ellen being evil and I’ll trade each one for $2.”

The “defixation” of the comedian

Ellen DeGeneres received more criticism after her show on April 6, which was filmed from her home at the beginning of the pandemic. Speaking to the camera from her multi-million dollar mansion, the comedian jokingly likened her situation to that of incarcerated people.

The reactions against the presenter became a “tsunami”, which in the end “drowned” her as well. Users began posting videos of quotes from guests that, in retrospect, implied bad behavior. More specifically, an appearance by Dakota Johnson in 2019 went “viral” on social media, which showed that the atmosphere was really “electric” between them.

In July 2020, BuzzFeed News published an exposé with one current and 10 former employees who worked for Ellen DeGeneres’ show, who claimed they experienced racism, workplace bullying and sexual harassment from her. Most of the accusations were about the workplace in general, including other senior employees besides Ellen. Glavin, Kevin Leman and co-executive producer Jonathan Norman were all fired from the popular talk show after the allegations were made against them.

However, several people reported that the “fish stinks from the head”, pointing to Ellen DeGeneres as being responsible for all this. By August 2020, WarnerMedia had launched an internal investigation, Ellen formally apologized to her 255 employees, and executive producers Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman, and Jonathan Norman were fired from the show.

And who didn’t stop by her show: the Kardashian sisters, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Brad Pitt, Kevin Hart, Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Bradley Cooper, Zac Efron, Will Smith, Drew Barrymore, Adele, Victoria Beckham, Halle Berry, Bon Jovi, Pierce Brosnan, etc. It has hosted presidents and First Ladies, including President Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton.
