When you condone and apologize for assholes, you are enabling them.  We denounce this behavior precisely because ‘being toxic’ is not necessary in creative fields, and there are plenty of healthy examples to counter the narrative that assholeishness is either necessary or desirable.  These people are so creative? …

NEWS FLASH: Not everyone is an asshole in creative fields and continuing to excuse their behavior only makes it more common. 

Anyway, if what Us Weekly’s source says comes to pass and DeGeneres dips out of her titular show, there’s a possibility that Late Late Show host James Corden will step in to take her place, at least according to Page Six.

Her face.

If that workplace has become so toxic their first stop should have been HR not fucking twitter.

The people behind the scenes of Ellen’s show aren’t working in bumblefuck with no unionization or human resources. They’re grown ass people that I’m sure have held other positions before they got hired for the Ellen show. If that workplace has become so toxic their first stop should have been HR not fucking twitter.

Never trust a woman that’s cheeky with war criminals.

I wouldn’t say I’m enjoying it, but don’t you find it mildly amusing?

so... they’re thinking about replacing a terrible person with another known terrible person, james corden?

“She knows she can be tough at times,” the source continued, “but believes she works hard and is extremely creative and that it’s a privilege to work for her and be around her.”

She is starting to look a lot like her war criminal friend, George W. Bush.

“Ethnic intimidation” is another term for walking around doing things while black.
I live for the day when “I felt threatened”, and being “terrified” cease to be the free pass some people want it to be.
Cry all you want, honey, you did what you did and you seemed just fine to me while you were doing it.

The Root Staff should just have a live like thread stickied at the top of the page for incidents like this. This is a constant occurrence and it is not going to stop anytime soon.

Same here - cyclist and I will kick the shit outta your quarter panel if you run up on me in a bike lane or across the hike/bike trail. I’m white and a woman though, so I’m sure Kombat Karen would just flip me the bird like everyone else. Glad she’s facing charges. 

It looks very much like a way some people settle arguments in the good ole US of A, these days. And that’s reason enough for me to never want to set foot in the “land of the free”. Knowing that everybody and their neighbours can carry a gun would make me go paranoid!

I was gonna say the same thing, haha. I was like “Wow, good trigger discipline. You don’t see that very often in crazy civilians.”

A lot of my Facebook “friends” have been trying the “watch the whole video and you’ll see she was totally justified and goaded into having to pull her gun by those rude people!” argument.

When I ask them the equivalent of, “Is pulling a gun how we should settle arguments now?” I rarely get a reply.

If she hadn’t been carrying a gun, she wouldn’t have reached for a gun to solve a dispute. Guns don’t make anything better, they make people’s bad moments worse.

Seriously. White supremacist groups have been advising their members to join the military for training. The military is aware that this is happening, but really hasn’t done much about it.

When this bitch got back in her car and ran, you could see a new form of terror over her eyes...”oh shit, I’m a Karen, and they got me on video”
