I went to her show once, and it was horrible. My brother, who passed away a few years ago, had a few heath issues, and they sat us all the way in the back and to the side so we wouldn't show. He fought bullying all his life, and they made him feel the worst they had ever felt. Before the show, they made 2 lines, and since I had gone to the restroom a few minutes before, we got in the wrong line. Her staff told everyone in that line that they were chosen because they were the cool kinds with good energy. When they saw us they rolled their eyes and told us to go back with everyone else in the other group 😢. One of my biggest regrets after my brother's passing was that I took him there.

"I was kicked out of show business," as she stands on a stage doing her Netflix special. I don't think it makes you a snowflake to point out the hypocrisy and nonsense here.

Well since you asked, now we the people want The View off the air! That would be the perfect Christmas gift for "snowflakes." Thanks in advance ♥

[@Finnish_guy]

I guess this is how narcissistic personalities deal with "things".

[@jirhoud]

comedians deal with their issues through comedy, and famous one’s get to do it in a special. i’d say narcissistic tendencies come with the territory of stand up comedy, and fame. another comedian, mulaney, made a good point about the human condition and being worshipped for so long, can only alter someone’s perception of their reality.

[@cremebrulee4759]

She really was passive aggressive. Fortunately some of our guests called her out on it. It's too bad that all of them didn't. Of course she's almost certainly a narcissist it would never have taken responsibility for anything she did, and she never will.

She’s joking about being a bully. She’s a horrible person

[@Katwoman4318]

Humble yourself Ellen.

[@gedaman]

Ellen got kicked out of show business in 1998 for coming out as gay and then welcomed back. Then she got kicked out again for being hostile and mean to her talk show staff. It’s a downward spiral.

[@ahill4642]

Coming out as gay is *not* part of any downward spiral. Surely you don’t intend to say that. 🤔

[@gedaman]

@@ahill4642 I meant that coming out as gay stopped her career for a while because being openly gay back then was taboo. I didn’t mean that there was anything wrong with being gay.

You’re correct…first round she was entangled with Ann Heisch who pushed that agenda

[@LiveTilliDie]

From what I have read, it seems Ellen surrounded her with 'yes' people who had to agree with her and were afraid of her, and in turn she always felt like things were 'fine' because everyone around her accommodated for her every move. After years of this she probably was blind to the culture of the show.
