So, on Reddit (not a good place, I know), the most upvoted comment to a post saying “You get a call from a woman and it makes you angry. Who is she?” was “Ellen ‘Degenerate’”. (Their words, not mine). Since it was hugely upvoted, why is she so bad? All I know is that she is a talk show host and a lesbian.

    In July 2020, ten former employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show accused DeGeneres of creating a “toxic” on-set atmosphere of “racism, fear, and intimidation”, including failing to address executives sexually harassing female employees and making “racist micro-aggressions and abuse” to or about employees of color, firing employees for taking medical and bereavement leave, and replacing her own crew with non-union workers during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.[63][64] The allegations, which the employees made anonymously to BuzzFeed News, followed previous reports of hostile and bullying behavior, such as a former employee’s allegation that DeGeneres fired him for setting up a GoFundMe page to cover medical costs not covered by their workplace health insurance.[64][65]
