A couple things I know of related to her talk show: 1) She kind of 'showed her true colors' by being snarky and mean-spirited ("haha, it's all just fun") towards many a guest, even making some cry or weirdly putting them on the spot when talking about a traumatic thing in their lives; 2) She was seemingly revealed to be a toxic a-hole behind the scenes to her staff and others. This is evidently not unique at all among talk show hosts, but paired with #1, it kind of sunk her reputation, it seemed to me.

In July 2020, ten former employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show accused DeGeneres of creating a "toxic" on-set atmosphere of "racism, fear, and intimidation", including failing to address executives sexually harassing female employees and making "racist micro-aggressions and abuse" to or about employees of color, firing employees for taking medical and bereavement leave, and replacing her own crew with non-union workers during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.[63][64] The allegations, which the employees made anonymously to BuzzFeed News, followed previous reports of hostile and bullying behavior, such as a former employee's allegation that DeGeneres fired him for setting up a GoFundMe page to cover medical costs not covered by their workplace health insurance.[64][65]

She has close ties with Pedo Diddler (P. Diddy) and when he got arrested she took off to Europe out of fear of being involved trying to claim it was because of Trump. She is abusive and treats staff like crap.

Abused her staff. Create a toxic environment. Sustained it. Thrived in the toxicity.

She’s been outed as not being the nice person she appears to be on TV. There was a big controversy a few years ago that some of her crew had a lot of stories about her behaviors behind the camera that show that she wasn’t such a nice person to the people who helped make her show a reality.

I don’t remember specifics, but it’s not hard to find if you go looking for videos or articles on it. From what I remember, it was the typical diva sort of behaviors like don’t look her in the eye and being rude to others. Nothing too too serious like sexual assault but still not nice stuff and people view her as a phony since.

There were also some things she did to guests like when she “forced” Mariah Carey to reveal she was pregnant by offering her alcohol and Mariah basically had to admit she was pregnant as to why she wouldn’t drink alcohol. Kind of a shitty thing to do to someone.

She's fake. That's her biggest sin.

You ever meet someone who is nice to your face and then talks so much shit about you behind your back? Or that mean girl who must be the center of attention that she will denigrate anyone for even the littlest issue? Also, the perpetual victim.

That's Ellen.

Seems she is one of the many famous folks who is kinda an asshole in real life.

Alleged though likely cases of just being a real shitty person to workers on stage. People off set have remarked she's an asshole as well.

She and her wife, Portia de Rossi, live here in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire. A couple of months ago at the local Coop in Burford, they repeatedly hit my heels with their stupid shopping trolly. When I turned around to point this out, I couldn’t help noticing 18 cans of Faxe lager in their cart PLUS 6 bags of crisps, and some items that looked like sex toys.

probably wasn't the original reason but wasn't she in the epstein files?

Depends on who you ask. The sorts of people who call her that are bigoted rightwingers, most famously Jerry Falwell. This animosity dates back to the 90s when she had a sitcom. She came out and the right wing lost its shit about it, and there's still hate for her today. No surprise it got upvotes on reddit.

Independently of that, she's evidently just plain mean to anyone she can get away with mistreating.

I'm unsure. I'm not interested in celebrities. Though I have seen some clips of her show where she has been pretty rude to her guests. Her name also appears in the Epstein files.

No idea. I've never met her.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

She's a bitch.

Long answer, shes a cunt
