TGIF everybody TGIF that's right thank God I'm famous y'all should try it it's
so much fun after Ellen DeGeneres would make headlines in Variety magazine due
to her lack of communication with employees regarding their page during
the pandemic kinds of other lessons of learning what it's like to not be loved
and to be the butt of everybody's joke on television and in magazines and so I
had to learn what that feels like after Ellen DeGeneres will get called out by
youtuber and nikkietutorials for not even saying hi to her before their
interview hi hello so nice to meet you oh my god it's a daughter like can you
pinch me yes I can it's real after Ellen DeGeneres would face serious backlash
for referring to her time in quarantine to that in jail even though she's
sitting in a nice 20 million dollar plus mansion one thing that I've learned from
being in quarantine is that people this this is like being in jail is what it is
it's mostly because I've been wearing the same clothes for ten days and
everyone in here is gay after entire Twitter thread with more than 2000
replies would go viral simply asking for a mean story about Ellen in exchange for
a $2 donation to an LA Food Bank it seems that one point Ellen DeGeneres was
untouchable her entire brand was about being kind to one another and spreading
joy and love even if you've never seen her talk show you've probably seen a
clip or two of her dancing with the audience members making jokes with her
guests or even scaring some of her crew members and in the greenroom but it
turns out the real Ellen may not be the one that everyone has grown to love
aside from the most recent accusations and negative headlines involving Ellen's
name she also came under a lot of fire back in 2019 after she was seen laughing
with former President George W Bush at a football game
it seems Ellen's fall from grace has been a long time coming and although it
may have taken close to 40 years for people to finally start to see Ellen's
true colors as they say better late than never
hello Ellen and her team haven't addressed the recent backlash she's
faced it's only a matter of time before they need to put a stop to all the
bleeding and let me tell ya it's getting pretty bloody what's going on guys
welcome to after they were famous my name is Jared Bronstein filling in for
Mike on this one don't worry guys your boy we back to sooner than later
now we've done other video as part of this series in the past but
it's been quite a while it seems some people were getting a little upset that
we assumed they were no longer famous I guess who knows I think like Chris Brown
might have blocked Mike on Instagram and Nelly was a little upset I don't know
either way let us know who else you'd like us to cover in the comments down
below and I will say honestly I think Ellen will still have a career after all
of this as well but with all the negative information that's come out
regarding her lately well her career may never reached the
heights that it had before either way we're going to take you guys for a ride
because the fall of Ellen started way before 2020 and we have a lot to cover
so let's go Ellen DeGeneres was born on January 26th 1958 in Jefferson Parish
Louisiana her father Elliott Evert DeGeneres was an insurance agent and her
mother Elizabeth Jane was a speech therapist she also has a brother Vance
who was a music producer the family would grow up in Louisiana taking only
one trip together to the Warner Brothers studio in Burbank California where Ellen
would eventually go on to have her own studio however it wasn't an easy road
for Ellen and her family in 1970 when she was 12 her parents would file for
separation and officially divorced the next year which would lead to a 13 year
old Ellen and her mother fending for themselves the two of them lived in an
apartment and Ellen explained I watched her go through a tough time trying to
date trying to figure things out she did some horrible men whom I had to kick out
of the house so at 13 I kind of became an adult and was taken care of watching
her struggle it made me go oh you're my mom but you're just a human being I saw
her in a different role all of a sudden a few years later Elizabeth Jane would
meet and marry Roy Bruce and Dorff a Salesman Ellen and her mother would then
move to Atlanta Texas in hopes of starting a new family unfortunately for
Ellen her mother would be diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after the move
which is one of her stepfather would start taking advantage of the then
sixteen year old at the time Ellen would go on to graduate from
Atlanta High in 1976 and go on to major in communication studies at the
University of New Orleans before dropping out after just one semester
working odd jobs as a waitress or in retail Ellen did what she had to do to
get by Oh a performing stand-up comedy I opened mics and coffee houses at night
this is wonderful this is great a lot of people ask me because I'm a comedian
they always say you know is that a tough job to be a comedian and I don't think
it is I I compared to things I used to do I used to work part-time as a rapper
in a department store so you bought a little gif and you need
to get it wrapped what I came here to tell you about that week I'm 1981 she's
become the MC for Clyde's comedy club in New Orleans setting Woody Allen and
Steve Martin as her influences at the time her bits would mostly be about the
experiences she had while working her various odd jobs but it works because it
would lead to a national tour in 1982 she would be named showtimes funniest
person in America and in 1986 she was invited as a guest to be on The Tonight
Show Starring Johnny Carson throughout the late 80s and early 90s LR work on a
handful of film and TV shows leading to her own sitcom which ran from 1994 to
1998 titled Ellen the show it reached its peak of popularity in 1997 after
Ellen would reveal her sexuality to the public
well appearing on Oprah Winfrey Show this caused quite a media frenzy and led
to a bit of a stunt in regards to her career growth however she would bounce
back as we know following her time working on a few projects over the years
in 2003 Ellen would get her own daytime show The Ellen DeGeneres Show which has
dominated ratings for the most part since its debut and ever since Ellen
would continue to work in the film and TV industry while continuing to host her
show as well as be a prominent figure in the lgbtq+ communities was carrying
around the sadness inside and the shame of the fact that I was gay when I was
like why am i ashamed of Who I am it's it's Who I am
now it seems like ever since Ellen came back onto the scene she could do no
wrong people loved her and if you didn't like her well odds are you're one of the
very few and that was the case for Kathy Griffin who called that Ellen in her
book now these two ladies have a bit of a history with each other with Ellen not
a proven of Kathy's vulgar comedy and Kathy not liking the fact that Ellen is
bringing down another female comic rather than helping them grow together
either way Griffin told all in her book and touched on how Ellen was a mean
person and then in 2018 while performing at the Dolby Theatre Griffin also told a
story regarding how Ellen refused to pay tribute to the late Joan Rivers riffing
said something along the lines of one of the things that really hurt Joan and we
talked about it at our last meal together was that Ellen always shunned
her and Ellen thought she was vulgar and not funny mommy's your furniture rivers
the lake comic who passed away in 2014 Griffin then reached out to elevated
regards to an upcoming tribute being put together for the late comedian and it
went like this I just called her and I said look woman
to woman comic to comic I think you need to let go of your hatred for Joan Rivers
passed away just do an F contribute be cool apparently Ellen's response was
there's a difference between mean and funny Ellen would have really celebrated
her more because Ellen has such an amazing incredible platform and she's
such a true influencer and you know Joan broke the glass ceiling for women talk
show but this was also around the time Kathy Griffin was dealing with the
backlash from her photoshoot involving the head of President Trump too that
most likely overshadow her feud with Ellen however other celebrities over the
years have also had issues even on her show although it was light-hearted there
was an awkward moment as recently as November 2019 when Ellen got publicly
called out by Dakota Johnson the end of you started with Ellen wishing Johnson
who had just turned 30 a happy birthday along with a comment about her not being
invited to the party how was the party I wasn't invited actually no that's not
the truth Ellen you were invited as you can see it turns out there was a bit of
confusion or possibly Ellen just plain dumb Johnson goes on to explain she
invited her and then tells Ellen to ask everyone even her producer Jonathan if
she was invited off camera it's a parrot producer Jonathan confirms Ellen was
invited to which she then asks why she didn't go random crew members then yell
out you were out of town to which Ellen laughs as if she's trying to find a way
to cover herself and says oh yeah I had that thing understand that maybe Ellen
is the nicest person in the world to make matters worse it turns out the
party was on October 5th and Ellen was spotted at a football game sitting
beside former president george w bush on october 6 maybe Ellen wasn't lying but
for her sake it may have been better if we didn't know where she was
after a quick pan to the owners box at the Cowboys Packers game which took
place on October 6th in Dallas the world was shocked to see Ellen sitting beside
Bush which led to immediate backlash many called Ellen out for sitting next
to and laughing with Bush considering his administration's opposition to
same-sex marriage as well as his responsibility for the war in Iraq
Ellen responded to the criticism on her show during a monologue in which she
said I'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs that I
have we're all different and I think we've forgotten that that's okay that
we're different just because I don't agree with someone on everything doesn't
mean that I'm not going to be friends with them when I say be kind to one
another I don't mean only the people that think the same way you do I mean be
kind to everyone the issue with that is apparently Ellen isn't too kind to
everyone at least according to nikkietutorials and a bunch of Twitter
users after Nikki appeared on Ellen Show in January of 2020 she would go on other
talk shows giving an honest experience of her time on the show aside from not
reading her before the interview nikki also claims she was told to use the
public bathroom because the one in the back she approached was apparently
reserved for the Jonas Brothers upon her arrival Nikki said she was greeted by an
angry intern who was a bit overworked and she went on to say she expected a
Disney show but got Teletubbies after dark and general Nikki felt she wasn't
treated the same way other celebrities had been in the past and that her
experience on the show was overall actually quite negative and then in
March of 2020 the Twitter thread bashing Ellen went viral comedian Kevin T Porter
tweeted out 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
be mean and I'll match everyone with $2 to at la Food Bank at the top of this
record in the tweet has been retweeted over 12,000 times and like over 65,000
of course there were also just under two point five thousand replies but Kevin
stopped donating after the first 300 now I will say guys it is important to
mention here I can't determine what's real and what's not it's quite possible
some people simply made up stories here and are simply spreading lies or rumors
about Ellen because they hate her for whatever reason that being said there
are some more credible sources than others like Benjamin Simon a TV show
writer who went off listing a handful of reasons that make it tough to work
without it a she has a sensitive nose so everyone must chew gum from a bowl
outside her office before talking to her and if she thinks you smelled that day
you have to go home and shower be a new staff member was told every day she
picked someone different to really hate it's not your fault just suck it up for
the day and show me me to someone else the next day they didn't believe it but
it ended up being entirely true see when she's in a bad mood staff members were
highly encouraged by upper management to go into her office and do bits to cheer
her up did she but animals which is good but so
sensitive for example if someone tried to show her a funny viral video and way
in the distance a barely audible dog is barking she'll scream at you and say
can't you hear that animal is in distress why did you show me this and
finally eat if she doesn't like the monologue someone wrote that day she'll
drop it on the floor and say I'm not saying one word of this now again guys I
can't say for sure any of this is 100% true but it seems like Ben has an inside
source maybe someone that used to work with Ellen Ellen also didn't help her
case when she made a joke referencing her mansion to jail during quarantine
during one of her broadcasts Ellen said one thing that I've learned from being
in quarantine is that this is like being in jail is what it is it's mostly
because I've been wearing the same clothes for ten days and everyone in
here is gay many called Ellen out for the tone-deaf joke while others said it
was insensitive considering how prisons across the US are seeing a spike in
cases regarding the virus and then it all hit the fan when Variety magazine
dropped the story regarding Ellen's lack of eunuch ation with her employees
during the shutdown of Warner Brothers Studios from late March until April 9th
or so much of Ellen's crew didn't know how much they'd be getting paid if at
all following news that Warner Brothers Studios where Ellen's show is filmed
would be temporarily shutting down due to the pandemic what executive producers
of this show did finally inform the crew what was happening the majority of them
which is believed to be a total of 30 plus people were told to expect a 60%
reduction in their pay even though the show was still airing make matters even
worse Ellen has been doing the show from her own home but she's been using
another production company to help her with the broadcast now Ellen obviously
doesn't run the entire show herself so maybe the production side of things
isn't necessarily her fault but she definitely has enough pull to say she
wants her original crew hired to add insult to injury other hosts like Jimmy
Kimmel paid some of his employees out of his own pocket and had been completely
transparent in regards to pay with his staffs well this is over Ellen Binney to
look for some new crew members either way she's continued to host her show
from the comfort of her own home the way we currently are as well and that has
her for this one guys I've been your host you're at Braunstein filling in for
Michael McCrudden on this one make sure let us know in the comments down below
who else we should cover and I hope you guys are all staying safe and healthy
during these crazy times make sure to check out some of our other videos right
over here and we'll see you guys in the next one
