Ellen DeGeneres says negative press against her was "orchestrated" and "misogynistic"

After announcing the end of her long-running daytime talk show on Wednesday, Ellen DeGeneres appeared on “Today” Thursday morning to tell Savannah Guthrie why she decided to move on and how toxic workplace allegations impacted her decision.
“If it was why I was quitting, I would have not come back this year,” DeGeneres said. “I really did think about not coming back because…it was devastating. I am a kind person. I am a person who likes to make people happy.
I just kept saying to [wife] Portia [de Rossi], ‘If I was a fan of somebody and even if I loved them, I would think there must be some truth to it, because it’s not stopping.’ Right on the heels of that, I read in the press that there’s a toxic work environment, which I had no idea, never saw anything that would even point to that.”
quote:
When Guthrie asked DeGeneres if she felt like she was being “cancelled,” the talk show host responded, “I really didn’t understand it. I still don’t understand it. It was too orchestrated. It was too coordinated. People get picked on, but for four months straight for me. And then for me to read in the press about a toxic work environment, when all I’ve ever heard from every guest that comes on the show is what a happy atmosphere this is and what a happy place this is.

Ellen also said that misogyny could have played a role in the press cycle.
“How can I be an example of strength and perseverance and power if I give up and run away?” she said. “And so, it really is one of the reasons I came back. I worked really hard on myself. And also, I have to say if nobody else is saying it, it was really interesting because I’m a woman, and it did feel very misogynistic.”

Her libs do it to everyone all the time. The second she was shown sitting next to Bush and talking to him like a normal person and they went after her like a pit bull on a soup bone.

She is one of the biggest assholes in Hollywood. The happy go lucky spread love thing is an act.

A liberal with a victim mentality?
I am shocked.

Simple reason. She tweaked the cancel culture.

it's been a while, she had a real shitty show that got canceled, probably due to shite ratings, she probably came out thinking it would save it but it got canceled, so she blamed the cancellation in anti-carpet muncher bias

Yeah, and they cancelled her "ratings in the gutter" T.V. show because she was gay.
Uhhhmmmm, Ellen -- the "negative press" was from your far leftwing whackjob "allies".

It never ceases to amaze me what excuses assholes will come up with when they get called out for being an a-hole.
Did ANY of her employees over the many years of her show come to her defense? Silence can be deafening…

We just want equality ... and to not be accountable for our actions and still be able to blame others when treated same as a man.
