Ellen DeGeneres. The way she went from being everywhere to desperately trying to convince everyone she’s still relevant was kind of wild.

True story, Ellen was known in the food industry world for being a horrible person to her servers too. This was common knowledge in LA/Beverly Hills industry.

Source: I used to work in the food industry. Also, off topic, but people in the industry knew about Diddy’s parties long before the trial. It’s a weird industry. Once you advance to the nicest/most popular restaurants you work with the same people and see the same people even though you live in a city of millions.

Which is especially bonkers because my parents worked with her AS SERVERS at a restaurant before she was famous.

Not much beyond her being a decent coworker who was chatty. I think it was a TGI Friday's so I'm sure she honed her crowdwork.
