“Ellen DeGeneres. I was crushed to find out the woman I saw on TV was completely different when the cameras weren’t rolling.”
Ellen DeGeneres spent years building her talk show around her famously positive “be kind to one another” message. But in 2020, former and current employees came forward with allegations of a toxic workplace culture behind the scenes, including racism, intimidation, and mistreatment. The allegations prompted an internal investigation, and DeGeneres later apologized to her staff and acknowledged that she bore responsibility for what happened on her show.
“I used to love Arcade Fire, but I can’t listen to them since the allegations against Win Butler came out. The statement he put out about the allegations was really despicable, basically, ‘My wife had a miscarriage, and I dealt with it badly.’ Not an excuse for what he did in the slightest, and also a terribly painful personal thing for him to be sharing without her.”
“I still wish I could slap Louis C.K. for how stupid he was. He should have gone to therapy or something if he really felt that much of a compulsion to expose himself. I loved his show, but I’m just mad about it now.”
Conor McGregor is an Irish mixed martial arts fighter who became one of the UFC’s biggest stars. But his career has been overshadowed by a long list of controversies and legal troubles, including multiple allegations of sexual assault. In 2024, an Irish civil jury found McGregor liable for assaulting a woman who accused him of raping her in a Dublin hotel in 2018 and ordered him to pay her damages. McGregor has maintained that the encounter was consensual.
