COOOK 76,406 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 "Needless to say, in between the gay prison reference and the fact that DeGeneres is supposedly at her $27 million dollar mansion, many were quick to call out the tone-deaf bit. Not only that, but as many others pointed out, comparing her self-isolation to being in jail — where many inmates are at a high risk of exposure due to the lack of protective supplies and an inability to practice social distancing — made DeGeneres' joke all the more messed up. DeGeneres has yet to respond to the backlash."

NewUsername 11,447 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I was gonna come in here and be like "wow, she's so out of touch with the real world", but it seems more like it was a joke? Because of the other parts of the sentences. Still, it's very delicate of course who, how and when makes jokes about covid/quarantaine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlepotter 75,147 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I'm disliking Ellen more and more by the day and was prepared to scoff at her if she was actually complaining, but this is so obviously a joke. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlepotter 75,147 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Anyway can we please not report tweets that have under 50K likes as "facing backlash", much less 5K in two days? No one cares about this chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franch Toast 27,011 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 It's a joke, and I'm not bothered by it, but it just shows how celebs are navigating minefields any time they talk about what's going on. In contrast, our Lady answered perfectly when she told Jimmy how privileged she is in her quarantine and brought up those who are facing more difficult circumstances.

HausOfG 1,560 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 All these celebs who say they are alone probably all have housekeepers and chefs staying with them. Catherine zeta Jones did a live a couple of weeks ago and implied it was just her, Michael Douglas and 2 kids there and talked about how they were "managing".. Next thing she rang down for some "Maria" person to come get her puppy and bring him fir a walk.. I was like "I think it's funny that I'm not allowed to have a sense of humour" - Lady Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babel 41,495 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 "it's a joke" but when you realize she's a privileged one that lives on a 10-bathroom mansion with people at her disposal, it loses the funny part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REALITY 77,378 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 But...it's a joke... Like, when Gaga talks about recognizing the privledge celebrities have, that's fine and good, but this doesn't fall in that category. Ellen's not being serious when she said that her self-isolation experience is just like being in jail. If that was the case, I could completely understand the backlash, but this is unnecessary.
