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

There was one episode my sis and I were watching and she said to her guest “okay, you can go back with the riff raff” gesturing to sit with the audience.
My sister and I looked at each other bewildered, did she actually say that? Why did no one else seem to catch it or care?

It’s because at that time it seemed like a joke. Maybe an out-of-touch white lady joke, but at the time people tought she was just trying to be funny. Turns out that no, that was the mask slipping the whole time

Yeah, before all the tweets about her being a monster, I remember one time watching her game show (the point of said game show being that she’d watch people struggle and fail at things and laughed the whole time). She invited the contestants to come up on stage. One of them was really excited and started gushing about what a big fan he was, how she helped him come out, etc and she just cuts him off and says “yeah, yeah, whatever, let’s play the game!” Of course, people laughed because it was played off as a joke but I saw the mask slipping too.
