Ellen Blasted By Former Employees And Fans Over Mean Behavior
Comedian Kevin T. Porter kicked the entire social media movement off on Friday, when he sent out a tweet asking people to message him ‘the most insane stories [they’ve] heard’ about Ellen DeGeneres in an effort to raise money for the Los Angeles Food Bank.
Right now we all need a little kindness. You know, like Ellen Degeneres always talks about! 😊❤️
She’s also notoriously one of the meanest people alive
Respond to this with the most insane stories you’ve heard about Ellen being mean & I’ll match every one w/ $2 to @LAFoodBank

I worked @RealFoodDaily, served her & Porsha at brunch. She wrote a letter to the owner & complained about my chipped nail polish (not that it was on her plate but just that it was on my hand). I had worked till closing the night before & this was next morn, almost got me fired.

My sister worked for the Ellen Show for two years. This is from her: “I saw Ellen in the hallways every day and would say hello and she never once said hello back. She wouldn’t smile. She wouldn’t even acknowledge me at all. For two seasons.”

Not sure if anybody’s mentioned this but she adopted a dog on a typical rescue contract (must be returned if not kept), then gave it away to her housekeeper, then when the rescue busted her, she badmouthed the rescue and got her fans to harass them. She sucks, I hate her.

The first time an employee (hair washer) said Ellen was the meanest, I was so surprised and responded that she seemed so nice? The woman said “God, NO! It’s known in the industry that she’s one of the worst”.

A) I saw Ellen at a grocery store in Los Angeles one time. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything.
She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

Another claimed Ellen would ‘pick someone different to really hate’ each day while on set filming her talk show.
