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.

Bill Hicks died for our grins

So yeah, with the exit of Oprah as the queen of daytime, she was bestowed the honor by the Big O, herself.  Ellen is a pretty fuckin’ big deal in daytime TV world.  She could most definitely end careers.

Can I just chime in to point 0ut that Brad Garret is absolutely the best thing discovered in Everyone loces Raymond and truly a great comedian and comedic actor?I had to just pop up like this, bc I’m forever in thegrays and no0 one would see this if I just posted it in the comments.

Three reasons you might not have heard any of this before:

I can’t think of a single daytime person more powerful than Ellen, except for Oprah.

To be fair, there have been “Ellen is a terrible person” reports for many years, it’s just that for various reasons it has gained momentum is being taken seriously by the mainstream media now.

No one says anything because their careers are at stake — even after they leave the show if they remain in the field. But, also, we do not know that no one said anything; they may have tried and been disbelieved or counseled to ‘get over it.’ A lot of us don’t trust our own intuition over those who wield more power…

It seems to have been an open secret on the internet that she was mean for a while. Back when she excused being friends with GWB some stories were trickling out. This current situation seems more prime? for airing her laundry at large.

Exactly zero people want her imprisoned for being a shitty boss. The only person I’ve ever seen comparing her behavior to that of rapists and creeps in Hollywood (and also Jeffrey Epstein? So I guess we’re including all the monsters in the financial circuit?) is you.

Yah she still sounds like an asshole.

Haunted by what though?

I pretty much believed Depp had done the things he was accused of until I listened to the audio of Heard mocking him that nobody would believe that a man was a victim of domestic violence and excoriating him for leaving rooms when she got violent with him. If we accept that men can be victims of domestic abuse and…

Punch all the nazis. Every goddamn one.

Hopefully,one of these days sometime catches Roger Stone out in public like that one dude did with Richard Spencer, the second “Shot Heard ‘Round the World”.

This is really good casting. JK Simmons’ voice was already who I was hearing as that character as I was reading the book. (Can’t wait to see my boy Robot.)

I gave you a star because you said it makes sense, but my interactions with hockey were limited to playing Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey which I only played because it was an n64 launch title and, where I lived, the only available title to rent.

Still don’t know what a Wayne Gretzky is.

Did an actual spit take on this one. Thank you

Hockey-adjacent person here to confirm veracity of COBH’s claim.

It's sad, because while the tone seems unchanged (and they haven't been STICKING TO SPROTS), without the comments it feels absolutely hollow.
