Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, the entire world seems to be changing and new revelations are happening every day. Similarly, the news that Ellen DeGeneres’ not nice at all have been making rounds for a few months now. Recently, a former employee of the show has confirmed that the news is true.
Last month, Ellen DeGeneres’ employee complained of pay cuts and lack of communication from their employer
Right after the lockdown, DeGeneres started filming her show from the comforts of her LA mansion. From the beginning, she made things hard for herself by making insensitive comments about being in quarantine. She said:
‘This is like being in jail. Mostly because I’ve been wearing the same clothes for 10 days and everyone in here is gay.’
However, people called her out on these comments and she received major backlash. Instantly after that, the crew of her show claimed that they have not being informed about the pay cuts and working hours. Instead of using her original crew, Ellen DeGeneres hired a non-union tech company to broadcast her show from home. It meant that her regular crew had to take a 60% pay cut. After that, the comedian Kevin T. Porter took to Twitter to reveal that Ellen DeGeneres’ not nice at all. According to him, she is a notoriously mean person alive and nothing like what people think of her.
Right now we all need a little kindness. You know, like Ellen Degeneres always talks about! 😊❤️
She’s also notoriously one of the meanest people alive

Instantly after, the thread flooded with stories of her meanness. While some said she refuses to tip at restaurants, others told how you cannot make eye contact with her. According to these stories, the fact solidifies that Ellen DeGeneres is actually not nice at all.
A) She has a "sensitive nose" so everyone must chew gum from a bowl outside her office before talking to her and if she thinks you smell that day you have to go home and shower.

Recently, a former employee confirmed even more that Ellen DeGeneres’ not nice
In 2014, Tom Majercak was hired for DeGeneres’ security for Academy Awards. While he found her wife, Portia De Rossi to be polite and pleasant, he found Ellen DeGeneres’ not nice at all. He said:
‘Ellen is the one person that I’ve been assigned to – and I’ve been assigned to quite a few celebrities – that has never taken the time to say hi to me. When you see her on TV, people fall in love with her but it is a false facade and bravado. You start hearing these stories and I was like, ‘Man, there’s got to be more to this.’ She’s not the person she portrays to be that she’s playing off of society. That’s my opinion.’
Furthermore, he said:
‘It started going negatively when Portia introduced me to Ellen and Ellen pretty much just gave me a side glance out of her eye and didn’t even say ‘hello,’ or ‘thank you for protecting my mother, my wife and me.’ It was very cold and it was very sly and it was actually kind of demeaning in the way that she treats people other than those who are in her circle.’
