Lying to Dakota Johnson was Ellen's [music] worst mistake. And now Rob Schneider is backing everything that Dakota said and coming after everyone that Ellen was involved with. Ellen's fake beind persona and her relationships with some of the worst people in Hollywood are being put out on full blast and it's only a matter of time before Netflix cuts Ellen off.
[music] Could Ellen crawl her way back into Hollywood? Or is everything over for her? Because you know people have gotten in trouble for claiming not being invited to your parties.
That was amazing. By the way, like amazing. Dakota Johnson showed up on Ellen's show back in 2019 to promote her new movie, and Ellen lied, saying that Dakota hadn't invited her to her party.
Ellen thought Dakota would let her lie and paint her as the bad guy, something Ellen had done comfortably with dozens of other celebrities. Unfortunately for Ellen, Dakota wasn't about to sit back and be slandered on national TV. She revealed that Ellen had been lying.
[music] Soon after this interview aired, dozens of other celebrities and even Ellen's own staff [music] came out saying that Ellen was a habitual liar and manipulator. Is Ellen DeGeneres rewriting history? That's what some of her former staffers claim she's doing in her new Netflix stand-up special for your approval.
I got kicked out of show business. Yeah. [applause] Thanks.
Yeah, cuz I'm mean. Yeah. Yeah.
You can't be mean and be in show business. No, they'll kick you out. She uses jokes to address the controversy.
I was in therapy for a while trying to deal with all the hatred that was coming at me. And at one point my therapist said, "Ellen, where do you get this idea that everyone hates you? " And I said, "Well, um, New York Times, Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, US Weekly.
I think Elmo may have said something recently on a episode of Sesame Street. " But this producer who worked with her takes issue with how she's addressing allegations that there was a toxic work environment at her legendary talk show. The essence of the special really was totally alive.
Ha Muscat says Ellen's special hits all the wrong notes. I felt Ellen was not taking responsibility at all. She was sugarcoating it.
The Ellen Degenerous show went off the air after 19 seasons in May 2022. mired in controversy, including allegations of racism and sexual misconduct. Ellen addressed the allegations back in 2020.
And if I've ever let someone down, if I've ever hurt their feelings, I am so sorry for that. Soon after, BuzzFeed actually investigated the claims, and what they found was shocking. The investigation published testimonies from over a dozen former employees who worked for Ellen, who described the workplace as toxic, reporting racism, fear, and intimidation from senior producers.
One former employee described being told not to look or even talk to Ellen directly. Allegedly, Ellen hated making eye contact with the people who worked for her and would scream at them until they cried. I think I know the answer to this.
The worst place you worked. Oh, Ellen Degenerous. Obviously, you were you were early on the This place is toxic.
First day of work, not making this up because there was already about five writers there when I got hired. I walk into her office, which was the writer's room. It was like a loungey kind of writer's room.
And I walk in and I'm standing in the middle of the floor and she goes, "Oh, we got the new writer. Let's take a look at you. " Okay, turn around.
And I was my first my first thought of like, "Oh, this is going to be that this is going to be me as the guy. " I was the only guy on the on the staff at that point. Like, this is how I'm going to be treated, you know?
And from a gay woman, you would think it would be not that. I guess I guess I didn't know what to expect. I mean, totally naive of me to think like a woman in charge is like, we're definitely not going to act this way cuz this is the way it always is when we're in the room, right?
Yeah. And so she just took the power back and looked at your ass. I mean, luckily I got a solid ass.
Even a lesbian stops and goes, "That's a good piece of meat right there. " The investigation actually led to a lawsuit which revealed harassment happening behind the scenes and Ellen being the main perpetrator. Things became even worse after some investigators began looking into how the child stars on Ellen's show were being treated.
Before Ellen could be tried for this, however, [music] she shut down her show and fled to the UK. Now she's trying to make a comeback with a Netflix special. Yes.
So the over I'll put it to you this way. I went to a wedding that Ellen was at. Um, there was a 30piece orchestra in a worldclass band.
It was a worldclass wedding. Every [music] person was dancing except for Ellen. So, does Ellen love dancing?
Cuz if she loves dancing, it's like a Geico commercial. You're happier than Ellen at a wedding. Uh, does she love dancing or does she want you to think she loves dancing?
Exactly. Right. Right.
Right. That to the point where she incorporates it into every show and you just watch her having fun and being a great like host and meanwhile good luck finding anybody who has a nice word to say about her. Truly there.
I have yet to meet anybody. I work I I I've talked, you know, I I talked to a lot of people who work on writing staffs and things like that. Uh, they all signed NDAs, so I can't say any names, but I had a guy tell me, "Worst person.
" And he goes, "Not the worst person I've ever worked for, the worst person I've ever met. " Wow. Like, wow, that's in Hollywood, too.
But that's impressive. Uh, Megan may be that same person. I don't know.
I don't know her. I don't know anyone who's worked for her, but I'm saying I mean, everybody, she fires everyone, okay? or they quit.
All right. She's reported to be a massive bully. There was a massive bullying report done about her by the palace.
I mean, the when the palace is doing hit pieces on you, you got stuff to worry about. Ellen is part of the same Hollywood rot that Rob Schneider has been trying to expose for years. Rob has claimed multiple times that people in positions of power in Hollywood have been using their influence to get access to young and impressionable child stars.
Rob himself was actually a victim and it took him quite some time to understand exactly how deep this rot is and how many people are involved. You recently revealed you were sexually assaulted by a director. Well, why did you reveal it?
It was just something that I female director. No, it wasn't male director. No, that I wouldn't have considered that.
But there was um you know this stuff that came out recently about Harvey Weinstein. I mean, first of all, I mean, I think I never knew that he was as, you know, like he was a rapist. Well, I didn't know that.
I know. I mean, I mean, I I think it's been it's very common knowledge that people producers can be pigs and pig-ish. And, you know, that would be hitting on women or or or being um, you know, cheating on your wife.
That's what I would consider being pigish. Not not the sexual assault. A guy who's you know, now he's going to have to like, you know, the next time he goes into Starbucks, he's going to have to like call the police and like register.
I'm going to Starbucks to get some, you know. So, um, but like what happens is with actors, you're in a vulnerable situation. You know, you're in a vulnerable place.
You're trying to get a job and there's people who, and it's not just actors, it's any any men in positions of power who could use that power to abuse. In an interview with Larry King, Rob explained exactly what happened to him. The horrifying part here is actually what happened after Rob tried to expose the person who assaulted him.
The same actors and producers he was friends with came out to defend the predator and made fun of him. This is a system built to punish the victims for speaking out. And you know um when I was you looking for a job when I was a young actor yeah I was uh asked to go to a hotel room of a of a director.
It was a famous director and um I didn't think anything weird about it because I never think ever happened to me. And so I went um I knew he was in his robe. I still didn't think it was weird.
like probably just came out of the shower or whatever. And then he asked me to do um you know uh to do the scene and then crawl on my belly around it and it got to a weird place and I just one this stuff started coming out with um Harvey Weinstein. I did remember that uh feeling of disgust and um humiliation.
I didn't because he's passed away and and I feel like if he can't defend himself I feel weird about you know saying his name but he was a famous director who worked with you know um with you know he did he did big movies and so um but I remember that that humiliation and I didn't tell anybody and it's interesting because when like you know I've seen on online like Rob Schneider um I don't believe in anyone would sexually harass Rob Schneider you know he's not good-looking enough and so you know that's what's not so now I understand said that yes not just several people have said that but like I get why women I mean why they wouldn't want to talk about it you know if they say that to me about me imagine other women it's it's humiliating why would you want to admit this happened and and that you were in this situation and I there's a sense of shame you feel especially if someone's going to say well she's yeah I know exactly so that's crazy but but I do think it's a good thing it's coming out now because I I I think that it's like I said in any position of power where women feel like they uh are put in a compromising position and then also not just that but like you know I wasn't a soft kid [music] you know this was something that was just disgusting it happened as director was you know uh naked and and and u and I you know but for women who have to feel like they have to be silent about it and then carry this with them I felt you know momentarily traumatized but still I remember 25 years later Um, at the same time, these are the women, uh, I don't feel like it it scarred me forever, but I remember it. But these women, some of them got out of the show business or got out of their own business that they're in and were scarred forever and like, you know, so I think that there is a seinal moment where even guys who have the potential to be pigish or sexually assaultters, you know, um, in any position of power, even if it's on a college campus, they're going to have to think twice about it now. Just to give you a sense of what kind of things these celebrities are involved with, Ellen's self-proclaimed best friend, Oprah Winfrey, is being exposed for what was going on at her school in Africa.
Remember how Ellen was allegedly behaving suspiciously with minors? Well, Oprah's school isn't much better. Rob believes that the agenda they're trying to deliver and the message they're sending is the same.
Oprah Winfrey has had a lot of controversy around her African school for girls with huge conspiracy theories starting that these girls were going missing from Oprah's school. All of these theories started shortly after Oprah opened her school in 2007 and the matran of that school was charged with essay of seven different girls. Oprah ended up offering a public apology to the parents and the children and citing her own essay incidents in this apology.
But the matreon would then be found not guilty of these crimes. But then it shocked the nation because shortly after this, Oprah's school was hit with another essay allegation. Seven students were suspended for harassing and fondling classmates.
And a lot of people thought that this stemmed from the very first incident because why would these children be acting like this? And the rumors started swirling after this point because they just didn't understand how these things could happen so close to one another. And then boom, there was another investigation at Oprah's school after the body of a newborn was found in a girl's book bag.
And a lot of people were freaking out about this because they're like, "Boom, we have two essay allegations and now all of the sudden a young girl has a baby in her book bag. " Everyone found these incidents super alarming and it's still something talked about to this day. Now, we cannot confirm if any of these girls from this school ended up going missing because I can't find anything about that.
But that is a huge conspiracy theory that's been passed around for a couple years. But these two essay allegations and this baby being found in the little girl's book bag are three things that actually happened at Oprah's school. And a lot of people find this super creepy knowing who Oprah surrounds herself with and the background that Oprah has always claimed about herself going through essay as a young girl.
Things got so bad at her school that she has now announced that she will be shutting it down. Keep in mind that this went on for years before anything was done. At the same time, kids kept disappearing.
The question now is where are these kids? Something strange is going on with Oprah Winfrey South African School for Girls. go look and see what happened to them girls.
So Oprah opened the school all the way back in 2007. And since the school's opening, it has been marred with many different controversies. You see, shortly after the school opened, a matron of the school was charged with touching several of the girls in a very inappropriate manner.
When the crime eventually came to light, Oprah herself went to fire the school's head mistress. Then in another incident that happened in 2011, law enforcement investigated the body of a newborn that was found in one of the students bags. Apparently, one of the girls at the school gave birth, but there were no charges filed against her after this incident.
There were also other scandals the school was involved in like in 2009 when seven students were suspended for s harassing their classmates. And now there's a new scandal that the school is known for. As many people online have started spreading rumors that girls are disappearing from the the people around Ellen tried to expose what was happening and they got fired and in some cases even killed.
Ellen's co-producer Steven Twitch boss and [music] her ex-girlfriend Anne Hcha both died in separate freak incidents months after Ellen announced she was shutting down her show amid the controversies. Before her death, Anne Hato was exposing Ellen for who she is and even working on a documentary looking at trapped children. And hopefully I have some more intelligence, I know I do, around it because I've studied it to be able to communicate a little bit better about what happened 20 years ago and the fact that it's taken us 20 years to be able to be at a point where we can listen to the truth again.
And Ellen's fine. She can sit on her pile of money. Hope you like your money because that's why I broke up with you.
Do you like sitting on your piles of cash? Because guess what? It gets you exactly where you are.
And by the way, baby, [snorts] and it's what you wanted then. And I hope you're liking it now. Cheers.
You broke up with her because she had a lot of money or you broke up with her because I broke up with her cuz her goal was to have a lot of money and mine was to find love and hers was I want 60 billion. Good. Good luck.
Our forks are never going to meet. The further we stay on with this, the further we will be apart. Okay.
She didn't live in that loving kindness. No, she didn't. And but you know, but you and I don't of revenge a lot.
you know, we don't there's there's there's one thing that I remember there there is one there is one little nugget that I do have a sense of wanting a little bit of um I guess the only word is revenge. Um, I feel that you were so wronged and now to know that you were continuing to be wronged. It it it it it fires me up a little bit.
And um and and and especially look when you look at somebody like Ellen who literally is sitting on a pile of $60 billion and then could feed countries, right? And then you're but you got a Porsche. I mean, you're not you're not hurting.
You're You know, you live beautifully. Wait, that's really funny. I just noticed that.
Sorry, I have to put a pin in it. But I realized that Ellen drove Porsche. I want a Porsche.
Well, she's not going to pop culture that and then she married one. She all she used to do was Porsches. Anne Hake was allegedly killed trying to go after Ellen.
The same thing happened with Rob. He tried to go after the people in Hollywood that were creating this culture of abuse and as a result his career died. No one would hire him and no one was willing to work with him.
The real reason for all of this was that the same people were controlling. Since Ellen fled to the UK, more and more celebrities have been coming out to expose her. Ellen played a guessing game about which famous ex Taylor had written about and the repeated pressure made the segment uncomfortable.
Clips from the interview later circulated widely because many viewers felt Taylor was being pushed too far. Taylor Swift talked about the interview later. This has happened several times.
So, I can't like, you know, when I was like 23 and people were just like kind of reducing me to like kind of making slideshows of like my dating life and putting people in there that I'd sat next to at a party once and deciding that my songwriting was like a trick rather than a skill and a craft kind of it's it's a way to take a woman who's doing her job and succeeding at doing her job and making things and it's it's in a way it's it's figuring out how to completely minimize that skill by [music] taking something that everyone, you know, in their darkest darkest moments loves to do, which is to shame. And so now when I see this happening, I can see a headline about a young artist about a young female artist about like another breakup and it makes it sp it sends me into a takes you back there to a degree. It sends me into a real sad place because I don't want that to keep happening.
And I don't think people understand how easy it is to infer that someone who's a female artist or a female in our industry is somehow doing something wrong by wanting love, wanting money, wanting success. Women are not allowed to want those things. Comedian and actress Kathy Griffin, known for her sharp, celebrity focused standup, TV work, and [music] reality show.
Kathy Griffin, My Life on the D-list, also spoke out against Ellen, saying that everyone in the comedy business knew what kind of person Ellen really was. Allegedly, no one liked Ellen and considered her an enemy who was ready to do whatever it took to get to the top. But I just love giving Ellen because it just never gets old.
She just can't stand it. She has no sense of humor about herself. We had a fight one time that was a knockdown dragout screaming on the phones.
Both of us screaming. And I think that's so funny. Like picture Kathy Griffin and Ellen Degenerous split screen both with our cell phones and assistants screaming at each other over what?
She thought Joan Rivers was not funny, but Joan was just mean. And I think Joan was not only not mean, but she was a genius, but also that Ellen kind of owed part of her career to the fact that Joan was the first woman to have a talk show. Broke the glass ceiling for women in talk, whether you like her or not.
Without a shadow of a doubt, every female comedian could ever step up to a mic or telly Joe. And by the way, Joan would thank Phyis Stiller. Phyis Stiller would thank Mom's Mely, Mom's Mly, and Tony Fields.
Like it's we're pretty good about it chills in a weird way. The And so so anyway, I just make fun of Ellen because she doesn't take it well. You know, someone said something about whatever.
So yeah, I'm talking about Ellen Degenerous. Now I have to just come nice to you. Well, here's the thing.
I in my very last dinner with Joan Rivers, we would always check in with each other and I'd be like, "Where are you with Ellen? " And she'd be like, "Ugh, still hates me. " And she'd go, "Well, what about you?
" And I'd say, "Oh, she thinks I'm mean. " And the truth is, I guess I guess I feel like I'm sticking up for a pal. Like, I think Ellen's achievements are fantastic.
How could I not? But, you know, like I said, there's so few female comics over 50 that are making a living or doing okay. Like, we need to support each other.
And I just I just thought, what am I waiting for? But almost every time Joan Rivers and I would get together, we'd like be like, anything from Ellen? No.
You? No. And it was just it wasn't like uh it was more like I wish we were better at supporting each other.
But also of course I don't like being labeled as mean and funny fine. But I I can just tell you for a fact Joan Rivers didn't have a mean bone in her body. And I I wish Ellen would have really celebrated her more because Ellen has such an amazing incredible platform and she's such a true influencer.
And you know Joan broke the glass ceiling for women talk show hosts. You know for sure. In June 2025, Cho discussed their history on the Kelly Mantel show, alleging Ellen was weird and not nice to her for much of her career.
Cho also claimed that Ellen acted like a stranger despite Cho opening for her in the 1980s comedy clubs. Ellen wasn't ready to share the spotlight with anyone. What?
Um, Ellen Ellen was like really weird and not nice to me for most of my career and like cuz I opened for her in the 1980s. Oh, you did? when she was a headliner in comedy clubs and not way way before um her big fameh and um so then when I would do later when I would do her talk show in the 2000s she acted like we just met and I'm like what one of those times one of those times I'm like what like that's weird like I it's like we go way back weird Oprah shut down her school Diddy is in jail and Ellen is being exposed osed left and right.
[music] Some people on X are saying that it's only a matter of time before Ellen is arrested. One tweet read, "Ellen DeGeneres is apologizing and saying people got away with murder. Holy moly, we all know what you're apologizing for and I'm sorry, but it's too late.
" So, I have been posting my thoughts and my stance on this But I haven't spoken directly because I don't know what to say. I am so sad and I am so angry and I know I'm not going to say the right thing. I know that there are going to be a lot of people who are going to be in disagreement with what I say, but I have a platform and I have a voice and I have always stood for equality.
I have always wanted to be the voice for people who felt like they didn't have a voice cuz I know what that feels like. And maybe you don't agree with how it's coming out, but you have to understand it and then we can heal it. I just I'm just so sorry that it's come to this.
I really don't know what to say other than this has gone on way way way too long. People have gotten away with If you made it this far, you already know this story goes way deeper than what the media shows you. So, hit subscribe because the next video breaks down another case that's even more disturbing.
