Roughly around the same time as Ellen started her show there was a HUGE and I cant understate how big it was when on an episode of Roseanne she was kissed by Margaux Hemmingway on an episode of her show. The 90's are ancient history in regards to LGBT acceptance

I was surprised at first when she hanged out with a certain former elected official, but then I realized it was on point. She is opportunistic, and will grab any chance at profit.
I'm sure she will try to use footage of all the black celebrities she's interacted with to be all "see, I can't possibly be racist!"

Is there any specific details about the alleged racism? When I first heard about these rumors, I just imagined her being rude and talking down to stage hands and crew because she thought she was above them.

As a queer person, I thank Ellen for coming out during a time when it was not so acceptable to do so. Big move. Helped me come to terms with my own sexuality and gender identity.
That said, she sounds like she's a really awful person and treats her staff like shit. I hadn't heard anything about the racism but it doesn't surprise me too terribly. As far as I'm concerned, thanks for what you did, but get f***ed.

As someone who dealt with the fallout and complaints at a previous place of work, can I just point out that some disgruntled and mistreated employees revert to "racism" as a card to make their case stronger with the union reps and do try to push for whatever they can - this applies to blacks, Asians and even white Eastern Europeans from my everyday experience.
Until its fully investigated, it's just that - allegations.

Seriously, we're 3 pages in so far, and I still haven't seen what is actually being alleged I clicked that instagram link and read what was there but it was still very vague

[ What are the racist allegations against Ellen herself, though? That seems to be talking about supervisors/producers on the show. There are plenty of mean bosses, but it only crosses the line into unlawful when there are things like racism at play.

Ahhhh good, the sort of everyday racism a lot of us - including me - have engaged in. If the crew at Ellen face this with open minds and are willing to learn this could be really good for them long term. You don't even KNOW how this stuff makes people feel sometimes, and it'll be good for the employees to get it out there.

Got caught being a pedophile, then tried to come out as gay at the same time, as if the LGBTQ+ community was supposed to rush to his defense. You can be both gay AND a scumbag. One doesn't excuse the other.

I mean there's been rumors forever that the Ellen show was a shitty place to work and that Ellen's whole camera presence is an act...
haven't heard anything directly racist... but wouldn't surprise me if even half the other shit is true.

Ellen doesn't represent the LGBTQ community. Ellen represents herself. Which is whatever but time to just call it a day count your money and find an island to retire on.
