Ellen DeGeneres Says All the Examples of Her Toxicity are a Misogynist Conspiracy

People with paranoid schizophrenia tend to believe that there is a vast conspiracy with possibly supernatural roots that is targeting them specifically. Like, the TV news anchor is telling them to kill themselves or the people who killed Kennedy are after them because they were chosen by God.

Ellen DeGeneres is not a paranoid schizophrenic. Ellen DeGeneres is a disgraced celebrity trying to save face. Her new strategy seems to be claiming that there was a vast, misogynist conspiracy to make her look bad.

At least, that how I interpreted what she said on Today on Thursday morning, via Uproxx.

“It was too orchestrated, it was too coordinated,” DeGeneres told Savannah Guthrie on TODAY. “And also I have to say — if nobody else was saying it — it was really interesting because I’m a woman, and it did feel very misogynistic.”

If you’ve forgotten about the allegations against Ellen and how’s they started, it was former employees getting on Twitter and telling their horror stories working for her. They fell in line with the experiences described by other minor celebrities who weren’t on Ellen’s radar as people who she should be nice to.

It’s an interesting strategy, Ellen doesn’t offer any reasons why this coordinated group of individuals is out to get her other than “misogyny,” as if they decided after 18 years that they had enough female daytime TV hosts.

Does anyone believe Ellen’s story for even a second? If you’re a terrible person, just own it.
