For years, Ellen DeGeneres has been the talk show host who’s got every big star on the floor. Now the presenter has been under fire for several months because of her own diva behavior and the ‘toxic’ atmosphere in the workplace at her show. But how do the stars experience their visits themselves? The Ellen DeGeneres Show?
Nikkie de Jager: ‘Big difference between WELL in Ellen‘
Dutch makeup artist and YouTuber Nikkie de Jager spoke out about her visit to the talk show earlier this year, adding to the commotion surrounding DeGeneres. De Jager spoke about her coming-out as a transgender with the program. Later she was a guest in The world moves on and she was asked about her experience at DeGeneres, after which it fell silent. “I have to say there is a big difference between The world moves on in Ellen and then I will give you the positive hand, “she told presenter Matthijs van Nieuwkerk.
“It is very nice that you come say hello in advance,” she continues. She describes DeGeneres ‘talk show as a different world that is a bit’ more distant and cooler than other talk shows she has joined. De Jager does call it an honor to get a podium at DeGeneres.
Hans Klok: ‘I find her very accessible’
Hans Klok cannot agree with the experiences of De Jager. He calls DeGeneres friendly and approachable RTL Boulevard. “Diva or no diva, I find her very accessible, because the times I have met her, she has always been friendly and asks how you are doing.”
Katy Perry: ‘Only positive experiences with Ellen’
Katy Perry also has nothing negative to say about DeGeneres. She responds to the fuss surrounding the talk show via Twitter. “I know I can only speak from my own experience, but I’ve only had positive moments with Ellen and her show. I think we’ve all seen her light and how she’s been fighting for equality through her platform for decades. I’ll send you love and a hug, girlfriend, “she writes to the talk show host.
Samantha Ronson: ‘Ellen was always respectful’
DJ Samantha Ronson, ex of Lindsay Lohan and sister of Mark Ronson, worked for years The Ellen DeGeneres Show and also played at her parties. She says that she never had any problems with the presenter. “She was always nice and respectful to me.”
Brad Garrett: ‘People treated her horribly’
Actor Brad Garrett, who, like DeGeneres, lent his voice to one of the figures in the animated film Finding Nemo, responded via Twitter to the excuse video DeGeneres recently posted. In it she says she takes responsibility for the toxic working atmosphere, because her name is attached to the show, but she is not talking about her own behavior. Garrett falls over that. “Sorry, but it’s from the top,” he says The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “I know more than one person who was treated horribly by her. It is well known.” Actress Lea Thompson responded in agreement to his message.
Scooter Braun: ‘I know how many people she helps’
Scooter Braun, manager of artists like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, thinks people like to see DeGeneres fall because it has no effect on them, he writes down Instagram. “Ellen is a kind, thoughtful, brave woman who stands up for what is good.” He praises her for her contribution to equality worldwide. “She doesn’t do what’s popular, but what she thinks is right. I know from experience how many people she helps, even when the cameras aren’t rotating.”
Portia de Rossi: ‘#IStandByEllen’
Portia de Rossi, actress and wife of Ellen DeGeneres, assists her wife through a post on Instagram. She keeps it short, but writes that she wants to thank the fans for their support and creates the hashtag #IStandByEllen.
