[@buckrogers6378]

You are likely correct, but we can only guess what really is happening because humans are a bundle of things at any moment. For example, is it possible Mariah did not explain that moment 100% accurately, maybe because it served some need or justification she had to paint herself as the victim for an audience of viewers that helps evaluate her popularity, income, and all future potential as a celebrity? I am not saying this is the case, or is even more likely than your assessment, just pointing out that people are tricky creatures. I could rattle off scenario after scenario that might be happening at that moment of exchange from my seat on the outside.

There's a reason pregnant women don't announce it right away, and that's because of how common complications are in the first half of the pregnancy. What Ellen did to Mariah and then what happened afterwards is the very reason she was keeping it secret.

The same as me, the very first time I saw her on tv, much to the confusion of my partner at the time. If we can sense this vibe through a tv, imagine being in the same room, I would probably turn around and walk straight back out again, something I have done on more than one occasion. Some of us can sense the evil, just like children or dogs, except we never grow out of it, especially those of us on the spectrum. I’ve only never been wrong about people a couple of times in my 50+yrs, when I was much younger. My instincts have proven to be right more times than I can remember, even when those around me said I was wrong, only later acknowledging I was right.

[@UmatsuObossa]

SAME. I'd see her on TV when I was growing up and she just seemed so fake nice and like a nasty person who just wasn't being nasty at that exact moment.

I remember hearing a story from my grandma I'd need to ask her about for clarity on some details. But, I remember her saying that she and my aunt were both trying to get in to see the Ellen show live, and the process they described to do it (which they gave up on) to my recollection sounded like, the producers just sort of corralled everyone who wanted tickets into an empty warehouse or office building and started barking out rules like, how loud and enthusiastic to act when she came out on stage, all this stuff I don't exactly remember but it was enough both of them just left.

[@claracallejo2824]

You have a lot of people, of the lgbtqi+ spectrum, that have done, are doing and live for equality. You have youtubers, office workers, marines, drag queens and so much more that have contributed too. If Ellen goes away it's not the end for equality, you make the change, you don't need a celebrity. I don't mean to take away her contributions, but if you are going to defend her go with she's a human being that was portrayed as the happiest and most possitive person in the world and has to live up to that constantly and that she explodes at some point. If you are going to defend someone, defend who they are.

[@somedude172]

yes. i understand the sentiment in a way- ellen was the only lgbt person my dad would tolerate, and she was an icon for me growing up. i remember busting my ass to get home from school in time to see her show, and not miss the intro bc it was one of my favorite parts. i just really really looked up to her growing up, bc she made me feel like if my family tolerate her, maybe theyll tolerate me after i come out as well. she made me see that being gay isnt always a life ruining thing, and you can make the most of it if you really work for it and have the luck. needless to say, when i started to notice how ellen has changed over the years, it really disappointed me. i saw the video about her shaming the woman for taking an extra hat for her sister who couldnt come years ago, and my perception of her has slowly changed ever since. she comes off as borderline sadistic in a way, like she enjoys humiliating people. and thats not the worst thing since the people she humiliates usually know what theyre getting into and consent to it (ik someone whos been on the show, got humiliated basically, and fkn loved every second of it. ellen even flew her out to another show and it made her whole year). but it still gives me a weird feeling, like shes very disingenuous. but yeah, long story short, ellen isnt everything shes cracked up to be. shes done good and i respect her for that, i even thank her for being the LGBT representation i desperately needed as a child. im sure she touched many in the same way she touched me. but that doesnt mean she can treat people that way and expect us to just forgive her like nothing ever happened. and her good doesnt negate the bad, AT ALL. that logic is so fkd up.

I have been in work situations with celebrities where you are briefed ahead of time to not make eye contact with the celebrity -- do not look the star in the eye. This really happens. This actually stems historically from royalty. In ages past you could not look the monarch in the eye. Some celebrities have adopted this protocol and enforce it. It is clearly a statement of status -- being elite. It makes for a very uncomfortable work place. I now decline any work offer with this brief attached no matter how much it pays.

They also don't care about making people uncomfortable or hurting their feelings because they lack empathy for people and can't relate to other people's feelings, all that matters is them and whether or not they're happy with something.

I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be a joke.

[@CrazyLuna97]

@@EmilieFiirgaard it still felt like she was trying to embarrass her.

[@marljusweety]

It was meant as a joke and she looks like she knew Johnson could either laugh it off or clap back. Which was true, as we see Johnson have no problem setting her right. There was no imbalance of power there. And you can see that Ellen is truly embarrased by the facts. Her saying she was at a thing was over exaggerated to point out how she knew she messed up. She made herself look stupid to get a laugh and at the same time accept responsibility for the whole thing.

[@asmrtpop2676]

@@marljusweety You know how people accept responsibility? Actually apologizing and showing a change in behavior.

[@nikkicastelline]

My sister lived in Ojai across the road from where ellen owned property many years ago when Ellen was with Anne Heche. My sister and her gf literally ran into her at a pet store, and Ellen fell to the floor. My sister apologized to her and they both laughed it off , but when Ellen turned around my sister's gf said Ellen rolled her eyes and whispered coo coo while twirling her finger around her ear not knowing that my sister's gf even knew my sister. To this day my sister idolizes Ellen but her gf can't stand Ellen.

Also what she’s preaching isn’t kindness, it’s politeness. Politeness is surface level niceness you can be polite to anybody that’s easy. But being kind and compassionate means standing up against people who are hateful to others, esp vulnerable groups, (think standing up to someone who’s calling another person slurs). And not everyone can be kind.

[@jaceeatscookies171]

My problem is when she gets on her high horse and acts like she’s better then everyone else when the truth is she’s just as shitty as the rest of us

[@Blueberrycaprice]

exactly, she is friends with some of the most harmful people in recent history, that is not kindness, as you say getting along with them may be polite but it is also cruelty towards those who were hurt by those people.

[@pong2962]

standing up for someone else is just being self righteous and insulting imo, almost like acting as if that person isn't strong enough to protect themselves

[@gingermaniac5484]

I agree that standing up for someone can be self righteous, though I think there’s a spectrum, isn’t there?

[@pong2962]

@@gingermaniac5484 I guess so, doesn't really matter if it's a kid standing up for his or her friend. Bit if it's, for example, a white person standing up for a black person when someone calls them a slur, personally I'd be a bit insulted at the fact the white person seems to think black people aren't strong enough or capable enough to protect themselves. It's hypocrisy, and another form of racism in my book. It would be the same if a black person did it to a white person, it's just plain racism.

Ellens passive aggressive “being mean & making it look funny” is a bullying behavior I absolutely have seen since I first saw her!

[@abeltesfaye_]

Same!!

[@pineapplegirl8078]

My husband and I saw the same thing. You phrased it perfectly as bullying. Years later we accidentally caught an episode of her game show. We saw a sadistic, mean person but even more accepted by the audience. At that point my husband started calling her a cult leader.

My former boss once said to me "people misunderstanding me, they think I don't have much empathy, but I've got more empathy than most people" He was an abusive weirdo that happened to be an alcoholic. I've come to the conclusion that people who overtly announce that they have this 'high level' of wokeness about their emotions usually are completely unaware or are faking it.

[@drew_xviii330]

It’s like a common theme of show don’t tell, where genuinely great and kind people like Bob Ross and Mr. Rodgers never went out of their way to tell you how nice they were, they showed it, they not only proved it but you could just feel how natural it is, because it is actually them. Others that go out of their way to say “Trust me, I’m nice, because I’m saying so” are generally not, just because well, I’m not sure why..it’s definitely curious but it’s most likely and unfortunately a mental or a lacking emotional issue. I do hope they’re able to get help, and those that are and were hurt by those people can find peace and are able to heal.

It's overcompensation. They know they lack it, so they try to convince everyone otherwise. Some people also are overly nice in public but horrible in private.

[@martijn9007]

usually narcissists

[@roundsdm]

Lol i know you said usually, but i wanted to point out that for someone like me who’s autistic, having an overdeveloped & overwhelming sense of empathy has always been completely debilitating & therefore im sure i bring it up for various reasons from time to time - but on rhe other hand, my childs narcissistic father spent a lot of time telling & trying to convince people of what a kind & good hearted person he is,.. he’s overcompensating & insecure about who he really is & he’s desperate to have people see him as the hero or the victim rather than the monster he truly is, so I’d say it’s definitely a red flag - it actually comes off a bit differently when its coming from someone who’s faking it but i think it can be nearly impossible for outsider to know for sure without certain insight & perspective,.
