I saw Ellen DeGeneres on TV long before the scandal and could immediately tell she was awful.
Just watch her interactions, from any time period. She clearly is just brimming with hate under the tense, smiling face and the manic presentation. I was sort of surprised that other people couldn’t see it.
The pandering, the condescension, the look of disgust when things don't go right. I saw it too, br0ther.
Honestly I barely saw anything of her, I just knew she existed. Now she's notorious for that 180 in the public's perception of her, which is why she came to mind.
She's far from the first, though. Very different circumstances, but Bill Cosby also springs to mind.
As for Taylor Swift, I know about as much about her as I did about Ellen, which is very little. I never got any icky vibes from her though, besides the inevitably hypocrisy that comes with being filthy rich and mega famous (private jet + preaching about the environment). Not enough to make her out as the bad guy.
