The sexism and hubris. The producer of her show was accused of harassment, and the general environment of the show was criticized for being hostile, but there were never any specific on the record accusations about Ellen herself. Instead anonymous people tweeted instances of her being "mean," which fed into a series of think pieces popping up about how she wasn't as nice as she seems on TV - as if any public figure is. The internet seized on a negative story about Ellen and used it to justify turning on her. She had been on top for too long. Our culture does it to women all the time. They did the same thing to Anne Hathaway and Gaga. They will do it again when another woman becomes too successful. It's really unfortunate that people, who I can only assume have never in their lives been unkind, jump on a bandwagon to take cheap shots at a woman who has been an extraordinary activist, trailblazer, and model of philanthropy.   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To condition our minds to hear kind and think âEllenâ instead the nasty and hateful truth that was exposed recently.  Tyler Clementi took his life in 2010, after being bullied for being gay. Ellen addressed his death on her show by reminding her audience (and in hindsight perhaps herself) how important it is to be kind. Every episode of her talk show for a decade now she has ended by saying âbe kind to one another.â She started selling merch with âbe kindâ on it long before her cancellation. Kindness has always been her brand, which is why being painted as âmeanâ was so harmful to her image. But of course people jumping on the Ellen hate bandwagon are going to use this as a justification for further critism. Her using the word âkindâ in a product must be a new macavillian marketing ploy...even though sheâs been doing it for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Well kindness has always been her brand so this isn't surprising even with the recent scandals...she has been working on this for 3 years...patents and names all have to be pre-approved so... I'm excited to see what she does have to offer, she's done makeup ads and marketing before, she's got her signature vegan and cruelty free guarantee behind anything she does and the packaging looks fresh Stream my new single, đ"Heartbeat"đ, on Spotify!

Â Read the Buzzfeed expose which Ellen's "cancellation" stemmed from, no employee said Ellen was an asshole, mean, or unkind - they criticized a producer on her show and the work environment, but not Ellen herself. You are referring to social media gossip. Ellen has never been sued by a former employee. Gaga on the other hand, was sued by a former assistant. In a deposition Gaga called the assistant a "hood rat," and called herself "queen of the universe." https://www.spin.com/2013/02/lady-gaga-assistant-oneill-hood-rat-queen-of-the-universe/ We know Gaga's character and that she is a good person, but those wildly out of touch quotes and the ex-assistants testimony are more evidence of a toxic work environment then anything that has been credibly attributed to Ellen. Gaga said she looks up to Ellen, and that Ellen was an inspiration. We know Gaga has had her shady moments, and Ellen may not be the sweetest person in the world, but they both use their platform to talk about the value of kindness. I personally have a lot of respect for both women. Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
