The Ellen DeGeneres Show was one of the country’s most popular talk shows during Ellen DeGeneres’ heyday. Despite the show’s massive success, a major scandal in 2020 led fans to wonder if the comedian was as lovely as she seemed to her guests, and as the years passed, her behavior became bossier and ruder. There were times when the celebrity host was mean to not only her guests but also the audience as well.

Former employees reported that the show host experienced major backlash after labeling her as toxic, especially given the behind-the-scenes working environment. Employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show complained of a toxic work environment, and the comedian apologized in front of millions, but her image changed. However, the show ended in May 2022, and she has been busy buying and selling houses since.

Earlier this week, she got heart-breaking news as her long-time close friend and the talk show DJ, Stephen ‘tWitch‘ Boss committed suicide at 40, and this shocking incident left her devastated.

Despite portraying fearless roles on-screen, Channing Tatum appears extremely down-to-earth off-screen. And his fear of porcelain dolls became popular after the talk show aired an episode with Tatum as the guest celebrity. According to reports, his fear of porcelain dolls began at his ex-wife’s mom’s house because she had a collection of dolls in her room.

Despite knowing the fact, the host had a doll of her own and was seen teasing the actor. Although it seemed fun, fans trolled DeGeneres for doing something like that.
