These rumors have been going on for years. Ellen is widely rumored to be one of the nastiest, most obnoxious hags in the business, and that’s saying something.
I think we have learned over the years that almost all of the druggie, alcoholic, immoral, amoral, nasty, abusive, greedy, scofflaw, cheating, backstabbing, vapid, godless denizens of Hollyweird are completely worthless people. They just have a talent for some aspect of entertaining which earns them a lot of money. It’s risible every time they try to harangue or shame the rest of us to do the “right” thing (whatever they think the “right” thing du jour may be), or call us sexist, racist, or whatever. They are rich scum of the earth.
