Ellen Degeneres Accused of Being ‘Weird & Not Nice’ to Margaret Cho

by

As a gamer, I’d rephrase it like this: Ellen DeGeneres, the renowned TV host, has been called out by Margaret Cho, the Grammy-nominated comedian, for some strange and unkind behavior. Apparently, Ellen would act as if she didn’t know me despite our shared past.

Margaret Cho says Ellen DeGeneres’ behavior toward her was ‘weird’

In a candid conversation on The Kelly Mantle Show podcast, comedian Margaret Cho spoke about her professional interactions with Ellen DeGeneres over the years. “For the majority of my career, Ellen was peculiar and not particularly kind to me,” Cho revealed, sharing her experiences as an Emmy-nominated actress.

In the ’80s, Cho used to perform as an opening act in comedy clubs for DeGeneres before her stardom. Yet, as recounted by Cho, DeGeneres seemed to have no memory of their past encounters when they met on DeGeneres’ show during the 2000s.

56-year-old artist further explained, “And I’m taken aback, saying something like, ‘Really? That’s strange.’ As we have a long history, it felt uncomfortable and odd.” Additionally, Cho discussed an incident with the late English singer David Bowie. She recalled attending one of his concerts while dressed in a traditional Chinese emperor attire, which she referred to as “It’s My Party.”

The artist, aged 56, continued by expressing surprise at something said, commenting that it was strange and odd because they had a long history. She also spoke about an encounter with the late David Bowie, sharing that she once attended one of his concerts in traditional Chinese emperor attire.

At DeGeneres’ show, the renowned musician commended Cho’s memorable style, but it seems this praise didn’t make it into the broadcast segment. The comedian clarified, “The previous day, David Bowie had appeared on my show and he was thrilled. Guess what I wore to his concert? A massive Chinese Emperor costume!

As a gamer, I was pumped up when he shared his enthusiasm for it, talking non-stop about it. But, sadly, it didn’t make the final cut in the show. Hearing about that from one of the producers made me boil over with anger. My friend, who’s one of the producers, had to ring me up and say, “I can’t believe she did this, but she axed it from the show.

She asserted that the producer had told her Bowie admired her attire. However, she found it disrespectful. She added, “I’m not sure if it was a personal comment or if it was due to time constraints. Regardless, I choose to take it personally because I chose to.
