EXCLUSIVE: 'She treated us like we were nothing.' Ellen DeGeneres ran household like boot camp, tormenting workers over misplaced salt shakers, 'taking pleasure' in firings and 'laying traps' like matchsticks to test employees, ex staffer claims

Ellen DeGeneres ran her household like a military-style boot camp, barking orders, tormenting employees over tiny errors and 'taking pleasure' in firing people, a former staffer has told DailyMail.com.

Life behind the scenes at the comedian's California mansion was every bit as traumatic as the alleged 'toxic culture' on her show, our insider claims in an exclusive interview.

Workers were hit with an itemized daily list of trifling gripes from serving food in the wrong bowl, leaving the salt shaker in the wrong place or failing to ensure DeGeneres' latte was frothed the way she liked it.

Why does Ellen want to look like a white male?

She sounds like most of the management of a Midwest based electronics recycling and resale crowd.

Well, quit then. No one forces you to work for Ellen.

My father told me that if you have to tell people who you are, you are not that. Tough people don’t need to tell people they are tough, you just know it. In Ellen’s case, when you have to continually be reminded that she is nice, it’s highly likely she isn’t. Another example is when the media tried to sell Ryan as a conservative.

Was her household staff populated by illegal aliens like the rest of Hollywood? If so, I neither feel sorry for them, or necessarily believe them. There’s no way all this coming out has nothing to do with her buddy buddy relationship with GWB.

“’There might be 20 to 30 things every day. We are talking about the finest, finest details here - a salt shaker out of place or a light switch left on.”

Can’t help but wonder if her perversions weren’t at least partially responsible for her mean behavior.

Yeah, but she gets a free pass because she’s non-standard-reproductive-mode and liberal.

You’re right.

I’d bet Hitlery Clinton retains an agency just to replace the domestic help. She must have a tremendous turn over rate.

My former boss did stuff like that.. .SHE was a Liberal creep, too.

She even sabotaged my work to get me in trouble, and I KNOW that because I caught her at it more than once. A real jerk.

I had one of those back in higher education.

Turned me off ever wanting another female supervisor.

Is anyone surprised by this. This is simply how liberals are in real life, behind the scenes. They are just angry, bitter snobs.

Wasn’t this true of Rosie O’Donnell too? She was “the queen of nice” before Ellen DeGeneres was.

Many lesbians like to have a mannish appearance. It is common in the lesbian subculture.

How this woman-hating, cross dressing, so-called comedian ever became this elevated to fame is beyond me.

She’s not funny, she looks like a freak, she’s nasty beyond all means, and looks so stupid in men’s clothes.

Remember when they sold Rosie O’Donnell as the “Queen of Nice”?

No one ever had to say “Elvis Presley, famous singer”. like they would for someone that few people had ever heard of.

She wouldn’t get the chance to do that to me. If she tried, or as soon I saw her treating others like that, it’d be “Sayonara, beyotch!”
