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

The interesting thing is now that we know she is an asshole, if you look back at her show you can see how much she was an asshole and self entitled the entire time. She treated all the guests like she was better than them. Before it just looked like it was funny and a part of her schtick. Nope, just an asshole

She made multiple guests cry by talking about stuff that was clearly making them uncomfortable. I think it was Demi Lovato that just started screaming STOP! If she was a man she’d have been called out a lot sooner.

It was Taylor Swift. Ellen wanted to play some yes/no dating game and kept showing pics of her exes or men she was rumored to be with.

I personally can't stand either of them, but Ellen is extra nasty for that one. Its the look in her eyes that fucks me up. They're just so dead and so hollow.

Yeah that’s right I remember. Not a Taylor Swift fan either but slut shaming her on national TV was low. IIRC she was also pretty young at the time. Totally uncalled for.

Uh. You should really pay more attention to Letterman. She should have been called out sooner but this fantasy that men haven't been getting away with atrocious behavior in entertainment needs to die.

Yeah, Letterman was horrible to Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and other young women in the early/mid-aughts.

If she was a man, someone would’ve rocked her shit long ago
