FINALLY: Ellen DeGeneres Is Back Doing Stand Up And She's Shitting On Everyone Who Got Upset Over Her Being "Mean" To Her Staffers
Source - Ellen DeGeneres says she got thrown out of Hollywood for being mean and toxic -- something she's making light of now in a new stand-up show ... which is coming to Netflix.
The comedian did a live show in L.A. this week, which some reporters had attended -- and she ended up addressing her leaving her famed talk show ... which came to an end in 2022 on the heels of claims from former staffers that the workplace was a nightmare.
Ellen says, "What else can I tell you? Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business. There’s no mean people in show business."
In the words of the great Kenny Powers...finally mother fucker. This is what Ellen should've done the second people started calling her out for being mean to her staffers. Was she a once in a lifetime nightmare? Yes. Did she create a work environment that made being a prison guard at Rikers Island look like a walk in the park? Absolutely, but that's not the point. The point is that if Ellen simply told everybody to shut the fuck up...they would've. Instead she bent the knee and the rest is history. The part that I disagree with, however, is the fact that she is still somehow making herself the victim...
She adds, "The hate went on for a long time and I would try to avoid looking at the news. The ‘be kind’ girl wasn’t kind. That was the headline. I became this one-dimensional character who gave stuff away and danced up steps ... Would a mean person dance up steps? Had I ended my show by saying, 'Go f*** yourself,' people would’ve been pleasantly surprised."
Honeybaby, if you don't like seeing yourself on the news, shut the damn TV off and look around. You're sitting in a $50 million mansion with a half a billion dollars in the bank. Things could be worse. Also, LEAN IN. Enough with the half measures. People know you're an awful person - own it. Become the villain you were meant to be. You said it yourself, you're mean, old, and gay..
Ellen also made this crack at one point, saying this was actually the second time she'd been kicked out of showbiz -- referring to the backlash she got in the '90s when she came out -- and added there'd be a third time eventually because "I’m mean, old, and gay."
So am I. There's nothing wrong with that. She then went on to say how she's sad about the way her show ended and blah blah blah. Regardless, she's filming a Netflix special that will allegedly air in the fall. Based on this little teaser all signs are pointing to her going scorched earth. Fingers crossed that's exactly what happens. Time will tell. Thanks for reading.
