Adam Carolla is not a fan of Ellen Degeneres.
“Ellen has always been a common person,” said Carolla, 61, during his appearance “After Party with Emily Dashinsky” Tuesday.
The comedian claimed when he was in Degener's' former talk show of the same name, he experienced how her employees “had real fear of her.
“And I knew they were afraid because I was sitting in my changing room and came in her segment producer, and he went:” You know, Christmas holidays or whatever it was. Was on the show in 2012Reminded.
“He goes: 'You won't talk about meat or beef or similar, right?” Carolla added. “And he came back 20 minutes later, just before I left, and he says: 'Ok, but don't talk about beef or meat.'”
“I said,” Oh, this guy frightened to death, “said Carolla. “The guy is afraid.”
Carolla claimed that another employee of Degeneres told him to hate to work for her.
“Later I spoke to someone who signed an NDA, so I won't say his name, but he wrote for Ellen,” he said. “I just left, 'How are Ellen?' And he said: “The worst person, um, the worst person – not the worst person for whom I have worked, the worst person I have ever met.”
Carolla added that the writer allegedly worked for Rosie O'Donnell and said that degeneres was a much worse boss than O'Donnell.
“She is not a nice person at all,” repeated Carolla about degeneres.
“Everyone was afraid of her, which means that she is mean,” he continued. “She won't be mean to me, I am a guest on the show, right? I wouldn't know from my exchange, I would know from the way her employees crouched.”
The post has turned to a comment on Degeneres'.
Degeneres organized her talk show from 2003 until she was canceled in 2022 after poisonous job claims.
In 2020, current and former employees spoke anonymously about their alleged experiences in the set of the talk show for a Buzzfeed News report. At that time she apologized to the employees and the producers Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman and Jonathan Norman left the show.
Degeneres, who now lives with her wife Portia de Rossi in Great Britain, addressed the controversy in her last stand-up special last year and claimed that she was “broadcast from show business” according to the reports of her alleged behavior.
In April last year, she also joked at a show in West Hollywood that she became the “most hated person in America”.
As with Carolla, other stars, including the comedian Margaret Cho and “The Bachelorette” Alum Ali Fedotowsky, have called out degeneres over the years because of supposedly cruel ranking.
