Do You Want To Go On The Ellen Show? You Might Change Your Mind After Reading This.

When we think about the most celebrated celebrity talk shows, 'Ellen' is among the first few that come to mind. But is this about to change for good? Cancel culture is booming in this generation and as an A-list celebrity, it’s one wrong move and you’re out. There have been numerous allegations about Ellen not being as ‘nice’ as she portrays herself to be.


For a whole 17 years the show has gotten nothing but praise and has risen to unbelievable popularity standards. It’s been almost every celebrity’s dream (and ours too) to get on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Well at least up until the ‘mean Ellen’ stories started to emerge. A good number of celebrities rushed to her defense but it’s the staff members of the show that had all the juice. From toxic work environment, to unwarranted pay cuts, sexual assault and racism, there was simply too much to brush under the carpet.


A former employee in an interview with Buzzfeed said she was called into a meeting with the executive producer Ed Glavin. There, she was reprimanded for her objections to the term 'spirit animal', asking for a raise, and suggesting employees on the show receive diversity and inclusion training. “He said that I was walking around looking resentful and angry,” she said. Which to a woman of colour, is a full on dis.


“I’m also learning that people who work with me and for me are speaking on my behalf and misrepresenting who I am and that has to stop. As someone who was judged and nearly lost everything for just being who I am, I truly understand and have deep compassion for those being looked at differently, or treated unfairly, not equal, or — worse — disregarded.” Ellen wrote in her apology letter to her employees.



I’m guessing by “for just being who I am” she was referring to her being part of the LGBTQ community. A community in which she was almost canceled from after being seen ‘hanging out’ with former US president George W Bush who was strongly against LGBTQ during his tenure. Allegations of being fake on top of mean? Not a good look at all. But then again, it’s Hollywood, is anyone ever really telling the truth?
