I’m going to call BS on this Ellen story. During the “stand-up” years of my Showbiz career I worked with Ellen on some gigs. We’re not friends or anything, we were comics traveling the country spreading mirth and joy. I watched her in awe... https://www.glamour.com/story/the-ellen-degeneres-show-controversy-explained

She is an amazing comedian. A real house rocking, brilliantly creative and clean genius. She is one of the very best. Every time I worked with her, I drove her to and from the shows. I was dying to hang out and talk and bounce bits with her (very normal for comics)

She never would. She did her shows and she would go back to her hotel. No drinks, no weed, no late breakfast nothing. In the car we would talk some especially after a show. We talked about the crowd, how certain bits worked better than others. Once I gave her a tag line...

she thought it was funny and that was a big deal to me but though she never used it. Since then I’ve watched her rise to fame and enjoyed watching her success. She is an amazing talent. She’s not social in fact I’d say she’s very shy. Maybe people don’t realize...

that the stage is where a person is comfortable. The person on stage is not the same person off stage. I’m that way. I know a number of performers who are very quiet, very shy heck; look at Prince. A once in a lifetime performer and a recluse. I think Ellen is the same way.

The whining staff of the Ellen Show are claiming abuse and a “toxic work environment” but those allegations are directed at the producers not Ellen. The staff claims Ellen “should have known.” That’s weak. Here’s the truth; it’s Showbiz, and it’s a business full of nasty people.

Showbiz is bursting with narcissistic, horny gas bags, who have no filter, no morals and no loyalties. Everybody is replaceable, even Ellen. If staff is upset because Ellen wasn’t showing up for their poetry slam or sharing moments over lattes well then butch up Sally...

Ellen would be too busy looking over her shoulder. You see that’s what show people do. They’re looking for the next bit, joke, premise or ratings. Show people are driven and never complacent. Ellen has the number 1 talk show but did she stop? No, she added another show.

She came up with the best game show since Wipeout and killed it with huge ratings. The reality is that Ellen, like the majority of show people is probably obsessing over doing her shows. Thinking about your show, the content, the delivery, what else could you do on the show...

It consumes you. I would think Ellen was too busy thinking about her show than to be hanging around the drum circle listening to office gripes. Famous people are under constant demand. The more famous you are, the more people are pulling you in different directions.

I do have one beef with Ellen; why was Ellen the only one to interview the alleged security guy in the Vegas shooting? WTF was that anyway? Something ain’t right there. Anyway, I just had to say I’m calling BS on this Ellen stuff going on. Oh yeah... that are saying...

the “Hollywood A listers” are snubbing and avoiding Ellen. What a bunch of dicks. Like I said; Showbiz is full of narcissistic, deviant charlatans. Maybe more things may come out but for now I think Ellen is being treated most unfairly. Suck it A list leeches and TRUMP 2020 YEAH!
