Margaret Cho Exposes the Real Ellen DeGeneres: A Mean Girl with a Dark Secret
Comedian Margaret Cho is not holding back when it comes to Ellen DeGeneres. In a recent interview on the Kelly Mantle Show, Cho revealed that Ellen is actually a “real mean girl,” like the kind from high school, though she could be nice at times. This isn’t just gossip — Cho claims to have known Ellen for decades, going back to the 1980s when she opened for Ellen before she became famous.
Shocking Revelations About Ellen
Cho shared that over the years, even when she appeared on Ellen’s talk show, Ellen acted as if they were just meeting, which confused Cho. She was especially hurt by an incident involving an interview Ellen did with David Bowie. Bowie enthusiastically praised Margaret Cho, complimenting her appearance and performance, but Ellen cut that part out of the aired interview. The show’s producer, a friend of Margaret’s, was shocked and told her Bowie couldn’t stop talking about her.
The Dark Side of Ellen DeGeneres
Though Ellen was for years a symbol of kindness and tolerance on American TV, her image took a serious hit in 2020. Former employees of her talk show spoke out publicly about a toxic work environment, including allegations of racism, intimidation, inappropriate behavior by senior management, and sexual harassment by producers. While Ellen herself was not directly accused of sexual misconduct, many claimed she was aware of what was happening and either ignored or covered it up.
What This Means for Ellen’s Image
Ellen, who hosted her talk show for 19 seasons, ending in May 2022, now faces a serious reputation downfall. Her famous phrase “Be Kind” now sounds ironic given the allegations and testimonies that have come to light. Margaret Cho openly admitted she took the cutting of the Bowie interview personally, which further darkens Ellen’s “kind” facade.
Is Ellen Just a Mask?
These revelations remind us that even the brightest stars aren’t always what they seem. While Ellen portrayed an ideal of goodness and acceptance for years, behind the scenes there was real drama. Margaret Cho, who has known her for a long time, isn’t afraid to tell the truth — Ellen was mean, sometimes cold, and didn’t always act like a friend.
Conclusion
This story makes us question how much we trust public figures and their “perfect” masks. Ellen DeGeneres, once a symbol of kindness, is now under scrutiny and exposure. Margaret Cho is just one of those who decided to speak out and shatter the illusion.
So, what about you? Ever doubted the “kindness” of the famous? Or maybe you’ve had an experience with someone who was “friendly” only on the surface? Drop a comment — maybe together we’ll uncover more dark secrets behind the smiles!
