People Are Accusing Ellen DeGeneres of 'Forcing' Mariah Carey to Reveal Pregnancy Weeks Before Miscarriage | 22 Words

Rumors about the true nature of the seemingly warm and bubbly Ellen DeGeneres have been circulating the internet for years but only now are people choosing to pay more attention to them.

A clip has resurfaced from 2008 showing Ellen "forcing" Mariah Carey to reveal her pregnancy in the most brutal way, and fans aren't happy...

For years now, rumors about Ellen DeGeneres' true personality have been rife.

 Though she has built her on-screen persona around being outspoken against injustice and generous to the needy, many people have claimed that, in real life, she is quite the opposite.

Those who have met the star have claimed that she is nothing more than another power-hungry, self-centered celebrity.

Which is certainly a far cry from the relatable and humble TV host we all know and love... Or we thought we knew and loved.

Ellen loves nothing more than to befriend the rich and the powerful...

 Which, in itself, should be a hint at her true personality and values.

And, in recent years, Ellen's image has been questioned more and more.

 Cracks have certainly begun to show, and rumors of the somewhat nastier personality behind the famous smiling blonde-haired, blue-eyed face have been intensifying.

Evidently, people who know the host have been growing tired of her flawless persona...

 And, for many years now, a number of different former employees have been attempting to expose Ellen for who she truly is.

These employees certainly haven't held back.

 Her behavior is shocking, and a retro video from the early days of The Ellen Show with Mariah Carey have left fans outraged. But firstly, let's see what her former employees had to say...

1. Ellen clearly doesn't care too much for writers strikes.

This Twitter user came forward with the story about Ellen's head writer, Karen Kilgariff. Karen was under Ellen's employment for 5 years until she took part in a writer's strike. Boom. Fired. And a word was never exchanged between the pair again.

2. More scandal regarding her treatment of staff.

This woman claims that her friend used to work as a writer on the show and, in the whole 2 years of her employment, Ellen didn't greet her once. In fact, none of the staff were allowed to speak to the star of the show. Apparently.

3. Staff weren't even allowed in the same room as her.

Wow, we really aren't worthy, are we?

4. Her veganism has certainly ruffled a few feathers in the past.

For a colleague's birthday, Twitter user, Alison Freer, was celebrating with a BBQ outside of the Warner Bros studios where The Ellen Show is filmed. However, Ellen was quick to shut down all the festivities by sending someone over to put a stop to the celebration, all because she doesn't eat meat. Not cool, Ellen.

5. She reportedly sacked someone for talking to her too much.

This Twitter user came forward with a damning story that, after a mildly autistic employee talked to and simply looked at the host too often, he was fired.

6. Ellen doesn't want any of her celebrity buddies to mingle with the common folk.

Ellen has notoriously sucked up to the rich and famous for years, and apparently she wants to keep them all for herself. When Russell Brand wandered into the employee break area to chat with the crew, Ellen apparently got quite irritated and told him that he "doesn't have to interact with these people."

7. She has a "sensitive nose".

And this highly sensitive nose apparently means that people working around her have to take extra care with their smell... Including chewing gum from a bowl outside her office before speaking to her. Some members of staff have even been asked to go home and shower. Now that's just rude.

8. She apparently chooses someone new to "hate."

A staff member was once told that, while filming, Ellen will randomly "pick someone different to really hate" for no reason whatsoever. And these poor employees simply have to suck it up and endure her wrath for the day.

9. Staff members are reportedly encouraged to cheer her up when she's in a bad mood.

There isn't enough money in the world that would ever encourage me to do that. Thank you, next.

10. Her compassion for animals strikes again.

Though it's great that she cares so much about animals, her sensitivity to the matter doesn't bode well for her employees.

11. She's notoriously picky with her scripts.

Apparently, if Ellen isn't impressed with a monologue, she will simply throw it on the floor and refuse to work with it. Again, rude.

12. She reportedly refused to pay tribute to Joan Rivers...

All because Joan's comedy was "the wrong kind".

13. Ellen apparently hates her own fans.

And her own show! Who'd have thought it?

14. She tried to get a waitress fired. Apparently.

This social media user claimed that her friend was once working in a restaurant where Ellen was dining. She claims that Ellen attempted to get a waitress fired after she discovered she'd broken a nail? Weird.

15. She has no respect for her current staff.

 In a recent, weird segment on her talk show, the sixty-two-year-old rated her staff's babies after telling us "my staff [have] a lot of beautiful additions to their families. Clearly they had to be rated." Did they Ellen? Did they really?

She listed her staff's newborns and gives them all a numerical number.

via: YouTube

 She began to score her e-commerce manager’s baby girl named Bo: "Well, she looks a little confused which is a very appropriate expression right now so that’s plus eight points. She doesn’t have any products from out Ellen Shop by her, so that’s minus two points."

But then she said awarded the baby with twenty points saying all the merch was sold...

via: YouTube

 I guess that makes it okay then?

She continued on her rating spree.

 The next baby in the line up was her executive producer Derek’s grandson, named Javi: “Derek had that same look when we told him he had to figure out how to shoot this show via Zoom. The family resemblance is plus six points. I’m mad that I can’t pinch his little fat rolls while we’re in quarantine so that’s minus two points," Ellen said.

But in true Ellen fashion, the highest score didn't go to a baby...

via: YouTube

 It went to a dog, in particular, her associate producer’s "baby" called Gambler. People just weren't on board with this idea at all.

Twitter exploded with outraged comments...

This user referred to it as "disturbing."

While this user described her behavior as "mean."

"No kindness there."

But the clip that has gotten everyone talking dates all the way back to 2008...

via: YouTube

 Mariah Carey was the guest of honor on The Ellen Show, and now that people are looking back on it, they are finding themselves feeling horrified over Ellen's treatment of the singer.

Ellen is seeing persistently asking Mariah, "Are you pregnant?"

via: YouTube

 To which the singer responds with, "I don't discuss that!"

Rather than respect the fact that Mariah doesn't want to discuss her personal life, Ellen decides to get crafty...

via: YouTube

 "Okay, you don't have to answer that... but let's toast with some champagne!" she says as she grabs a bottle of the alcoholic beverage along with 2 glasses.

"I can't believe you did this to me," Mariah says as Ellen pours the champagne.

via: YouTube

 "What?" Ellen asks in mock confusion, "I'm not gonna ask you if you're pregnant."

"Let's toast to you not being pregnant!"

via: YouTube

 Then, unbelievably, Ellen forces a glass of champagne in Mariah's hand and says "go ahead!" when the singer is clearly trying to dodge drinking the alcohol.

Mariah then says it's too early for her to drink, in which Ellen cheers and says "you're pregnant!"

via: YouTube

 Even though the audience is laughing and cheering, the way in which Ellen is behaving towards her is nothing but manipulative and controlling.

She blatantly forced Mariah to admit to her pregnancy, even though she clearly wasn't ready to go public with her personal news...

And to make things worse, just weeks after her appearance on the show, she sadly suffered from a miscarriage.

The only time Mariah spoke about her experience on The Ellen Show was when she announced her pregnancy in 2010.

via: Getty

 She said at the time, "Yes, we are pregnant, this is true! It's been a long journey. It's been tough, because I've been trying to hold on to a shred of privacy."

She also spoke of her miscarriage...

via: Getty

 "It kind of shook us both and took us into a place that was really dark and difficult. When that happened ... I wasn't able to even talk to anybody about it. That was not easy."

Of course, former Ellen fans have been left outraged over the way she treated Mariah on the show...

And people are expressing their new opinions on the controversial talk-show host.

There's no denying that Ellen's behavior in this clip was nothing but manipulative...

And it really goes to show her true colors.
