But I didn't even know you wanted to be invited." "Last time I was on the show, last year, you gave me a bunch of s- about not inviting you. "Actually no, that's the not the truth, Ellen. After DeGeneres said she didn't receive an invitation to Johnson's birthday party, the actress accused DeGeneres of lying. Johnson told DeGeneres she was lying when DeGeneres said she wasn't invited to Johnson's birthday. It was just petty and cruel and shortsighted on her part, and for what? To put out negative and harmful energy to others is toxic." I was just so surprised she'd take time out of her day to be negative to someone who served her, who was obviously on a lower position than her and also probably an artist of some kind. "I'm an actress and comedian and at that time would have loved a 'break.' But alas, it wasn't that, of course. "When my restaurant managers sat me down and asked if I had served Ellen at brunch, I was actually pumped because I thought maybe she'd want to use me for a bit on her show," Farah wrote in an email. I had worked till closing the night before & this was next morn, almost got me fired."įarah also told Insider that she was previously a fan of DeGeneres and had watched both her talk show and her sitcom growing up. "She wrote a letter to the owner & complained about my chipped nail polish (not that it was on her plate but just that it was on my hand). "I worked served her & Porsha at brunch," Farah wrote. She said in her tweet that when she was working at a restaurant DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, frequented, she served the two of them - but that DeGeneres complained afterward. It's impossible to verify the accuracy of the stories from the tweets alone, and a request for comment sent to an email listed for DeGeneres' representative wasn't immediately returned, but here's what some people had to say.Ĭhris Farah also tweeted the link to her stand-up set where she told the same story. His unique charitable-giving strategy resulted in nearly 2,000 replies, though many were reactions rather than stories.Īfter the post gained traction, Porter wrote that it was "now hard to tell which stories are real or not," so he donated $600 (and attached a screenshot of his receipt) for 300 stories people told in his replies.
Porter crowdsourced "insane stories you've heard about Ellen being mean" in exchange for $2 donations to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
The resurgence of people wondering whether DeGeneres is as nice as she seems on TV is mostly thanks to Porter, the comedian and podcast host who stirred up online drama with a viral Twitter thread about her character.
