What happened to Ellen DeGeneres? Her rise and fall | Messy Media Scandals

How did Ellen DeGeneres go from daytime's queen of nice to an alleged "mean girl"? After decades on top of the world, a bombshell 2020 BuzzFeed exposé showed the world a different side of the beloved host. Accusations of bullying and a toxic workplace eventually lead to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" being canceled in 2022 after 19 seasons.
"The backlash clearly took its toll on Ellen. She lost a lot of viewers," Page Six senior reporter Carlos Greer said. "Ultimately she will be known for her courage for coming out on her show in the '90s and her contributions to society." Relive her historic rise and fall, plus what DeGeneres is doing now, in this episode of "Messy Media Scandals."

If you’re constantly telling everyone publicly how kind you are- usually means you’re not. If you’re kind people notice- you don’t have to shove it down everyone’s throat for affirmation

[@khaledbejdough2694]

So she’s a narcissist

[@AmbersCorner2.0]

And then so is everyone else in Hollywood

[@andrewlkozar]

I have my own ellen story... She is seriously heartless when it comes to the underclass :"(

[@JK-sz1xy]

Please do tell!

[@CLUB-th7pp]

Never did like her from the get go. I knew I’d seen some EVIL WOMEN in her.

[@jackburton7362]

This stuff all started after she was seen hanging out with George bush (republican)at the football game in Texas. She was cancelled and attacked after this and it hasn't stopped. Sad how democrats treat people.

[@silkysue8192]

Please share

[@prebletucky4269]

im so sorry, without SAYING it, i can guess. i have myn too...if people knew the truth...

[@leeeberle4322]

I can only hope that Hollywood treats Ellen the way she treated her staff.

[@Guardian__Angel]

She's always struck me as fake and insincere. I'm glad she was finally exposed for what she really is. 🤭

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Same here!

[@supernotnatural]

You don't get to top with being kind. She was treated even worse in her early years. No wonder what she did. You guys have no idea what Ellen went against in her early years. It was before you were even born you babies.

[@RogueT-Rex8468]

@@supernotnatural(glances at Keanu) ….

[@user-ng2kn3xt2b]

​@@supernotnatural The problem with that is. You have to come down eventually. And guess who you go pass?

[@JamieCrawfordMedia]

Weirdest Ellen moment is her bizarre interview with Las Vegas shooting witness Jose Campos

[@scwps23]

You never really know a person until you work or live with that person.

[@ktfear]

Whispers quietly, "I see lizard people, everywhere."

[@Yolonder-jf1sn]

She was fake but it came out that she full of BS

[@nancycole-auguste6614]

limited contact with parents??? GIGANTIC RED FLAG

[@blankface4017]

Bro she got more money than any can of us can imagine like 😂money got to her head fr

[@johnsjohnson448]

Fame and Fortune changes people. Often times, not for the better.

[@finster1968]

Pretty sure she was a bully and a pill as a child. I’d put money on it.

[@jasperlevien5968]

I loved Brian in the episode where they investigate the haunted well. Hes a natural I could tell Collin was impressed I hope we see more of him doing those segments ❤

[@Mary_Lee2395]

That thing should’ve been canceled a long long time ago. There has been many celebrities and other well known people who has admitted how uncomfortable they felt when they met and went on that narcissist’s show but sadly everyone ignored their feelings and claims. She’s not only rude towards celebrities but to her own fans and employees to smfh idk why people continued to support her rudeass. Hopefully she gets treated the way she treats people so she knows what she’s put people through

[@high_maintenance]

Reason why I always prefer Chelsea Handler: not nice nasty probably a cool boss.

[@lookingfordrama01]

I NEVER WATCHED ONE SHOW I NEW IT A LIE NO ONE IS THAT NICE.

[@justtanotherrstarr8037]

Illuminati is a thing people wake up. I watched her from a child... this demise was the saddest for me

[@andiidoode]

I love the two narrators.

[@gerardmcgovern1831]

We are the same age and she’s from here in Nola. Extraordinarily cruel to any one even a child whom she deemed as vulnerable. Even getting them to cry.

[@AnnMitt]

What happened to that guy Twitch?

[@jerzeydolphins]

he died few months back from some freak illness i think

[@leeeberle4322]

His wife had something to do with it.

[@patgal2359]

No one will remember she was the first to comeout. Its already 20 years

[@kenamaro3942]

She defended the BS cover store of the Vegas shooting. Interviewed Jeses Campos ( with his strange handler ). She sat there with a pointer and a map of the hotel and guided him during the interview. Never watched her again after that garbage.

[@gerardmcgovern1831]

We’re same age in New Orleans……. CRUEL SADISTIC WOMAN TO ANYONE WHO SEEMED VULNERABLE. I REMEMBER

[@Andre_Villon]

8:18 🎶 Since she's been gone! 🎶

[@Kosherpickles]

I was waiting to this point. And boy was it worth it. 😂😂

[@user-tj2qo9ko7t]

Old video obviously..Jennifer is so much kinder. Although Ellen had some laudable moments.

[@Cyrus-1904]

You reap what you sow.

[@Donmitchyy]

Haven’t seen her or heard of her in a minute

[@axpublisherdigital]

This is part of the process in all industry

[@booradley0x0]

She always came across as contrived and trying far too hard to be likeable, which screams fake. I think power went to her head and brought out the real person, shes mean and awful.

[@richardsevier380]

Wait a minute, WHO CARES ????

[@gerardmcgovern1831]

She’s from here in Nola & we’re same age & same school…. MEAN SADISTIC TO ANYONE VULNERABLE. HERE in NOLA cruel !!!!

[@DougiePlaysSoccer]

Love or hate her, for all LGBTQ+ folks out there, she played a pivotal role in getting representation out in the mainstream media.

[@Steve-gx7ti]

I thought I was looking at a bloke

[@eaaivazian]

I never liked Ellen...so none of this surprised me a bit.

[@amina9935]

After all she went through, she treated her employees the way she was treated. Catch 22

[@gerardmcgovern1831]

We’re same age from here in Nola…. CRUEL, MEAN , SADISTIC CREEP AS I REMEMBER

[@streamtt69]

Most of the celebrities are like that In their head and above in the vlouds and what you see on tv its only a show idk why ppl focus on the personal life . If it was that bad working for her why dont you just quit. But you know when there is a cake everyone want to take a bite and just bring someone down. Everybody wants piece of the new action.

[@offdutytootieBooBoo]

She picked on the wrong one. 😂😂😂😂😂 Thats what happened. More have stepped down since then and more are still to COME. 😂😂😂😂 yoy cant make this shx up. 🤔📰✌️

[@cupcakcake35]

I thought Ellen was better than that I didn’t know she was mean at all idk really

[@usausa3234]

Liberalism. Now she understands how tough it is being a man in 2023.

[@Victorcolongarcia]

The thing about people who smell or have bad breath is ok. Being clean when going to work or any public space should be compulsory 😅

[@coolfool3000]

idk you smell to me, is just my word. i could have some vendetta against you, but if i had some status against you its most likely true. i agree being clean is a must, but the underline part of this conversation is who will believe you.

[@rawbbingmysellph7464]

🤦🤦‍♂

[@nanums650]

All I know about Ellen. Is she was a very mean person.

[@Truthrevealed4022]

Twitch!

WHY DID THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN HATED ELLEN DEGENERES?

[@user-bq3fp2so6w]

She’s a DEMON….what’s to like??? 😂😂😂😂

[@nicholasr39]

Me Too movement I guess. Lots of people who no longer work for her who now have nothing to lose are now exposing her.

Exactly

[@annacanada7545]

If the pandemic never happened, would we still not know the truth about Ellen?

[@thisisgreatt]

Always thought she was the Anti Christ .. told everyone at work for years.. now they foun’t out

[@joannwalsh6758]

You shame all women straight or otherwise.

Well I don’t live in America and I know Megan. Don’t know any of the other wannabe people in this video running her down.

[@dylanx9327]

... so conclusion is that she was a hateful person?....

[@harrisomerovic6573]

Well it has changed my view about her even before , on her shows u can see she is fake most of time

[@gr8ful191]

I also love Ellen but hate what she alledgedly did to TWITCH ..RIP TWITCH

[@RobinaB530]

Ellen had one of the best daytime TV shows in history. I watched her for years. She went out of her way to help struggling families and schools. She gave many artists their first shot and they went on to have great careers. She hired Stephen Boss and they created a great vibe together for years. She introduced kids to their sports and musical idols. She created games other shows copied. She gave away a lot of money for nothing (she drew big sponsors). She gave new cars to nurses. Her mother's day show sent new moms home with major new things. I could go on. Lot of haters came here. I miss Ellen!

[@user-bq3fp2so6w]

Sure….😂😂😂😂😂

[@STEVIEMC100]

None of that has nothing to do with how she treated her staff.

[@desertdog5397]

thats sounds like she was buying those folks...heck, you buy me a new car...and I am your friend for life...

[@d8ngdeld8ng]

💩🤡🤮

[@lilithspicynugget]

That's doesn't stop how a horrible person she is One thing is having a lot of money and do nice things for TV views Behind the screen she is a total POS person who doesn't care about u or your emotional problems acting like we owe her the world and a crown I'm glad she got canceled

[@madetosuck9198]

I'm only noticing now that Ellen DeGeneres kinda looks like a warped version of Jojo Siwa

[@themanwnoname3454]

Lol if anyone on Earth deserves to be mean to people Ellen is one of them 🥂✌️

Ellen hasn't had it the roughest in life. I know some people.

[@robertford532]

Ellen will never know happiness, shes broken. Fame, fortune and adulation will slip through the cracks in her soul but never fill them. She exposed herself and her show was discontinued, its called Karma. Surround yourself with beautiful people in life and remember, the cream raises to the top. 🎉

[@user-lq9zm4ju4w]

She’s talented, but maybe not Mother Theresa, jeez, give her a break. I assure you she isn’t home drowning puppies :)
