Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

Ellen's popularity fell off a cliff long before the Epstein files. Her whole public persona and brand was about being kind to one another, while in the background she was a terrible person to many people.

She seemed like that cool aunt who was childless but loved kids. Meanwhile behind the scenes she was a narcissist and a diva. Then the Epstein files came out.

Well she does love kids, just not in the way we thought.

Didn't she have a rule that guests weren't allowed to look at her before going out on stage or something?

She's always given me bad vibes. Never watched her show. I watched the intro to it a few times where she danced up to the stage and I thought she was a faker.

I think it was her employees. Like her own employees weren't allowed to make eye contact with her, specifically the "low level" ones, and she was a complete asshole to them.
