'Media Scandals: Ellen' - Wk of 7/1/23 - 2 Days @ $550/Day
How did Ellen DeGeneres go from daytime's queen of nice to an alleged "mean girl"? After decades on top of the world, a bombshell 2020 BuzzFeed exposé showed the world a different side of the beloved host. Accusations of bullying and a toxic workplace eventually lead to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" being canceled in 2022 after 19 seasons. "The backlash clearly took its toll on Ellen. She lost a lot of viewers," Page Six senior reporter Carlos Greer said. "Ultimately she will be known for her courage for coming out on her show in the '90s and her contributions to society." Relive her historic rise and fall, plus what DeGeneres is doing now, in this episode of "Messy Media Scandals."
