Exactly there is a smear campaign against her and the worst they found about her was that she was sometimes rude lmao. And yet that didn't stop them they consider a woman not being smiling and polite 100% of the times is a good enough reason to try to ruin her life.

This is honestly one of the biggest sexist joke of our time.

I remember even misogynist men of reddit were kind of suspicious after the 147 article saying she didn't say hello to someone once and that's telling a lot. The one time bodyguard recounting the story of her not saying hello to him at the oscar ceremony like he was having war flashbacks is one of the funniest.

The only thing really interesting thing in this story would be to know who wants ellen out of the picture and for what reason.

No smear campaign, she just actually sucks. This goes beyond mere rudeness; she's been known to be abusive to her staff and random service workers for years. I first heard about this stuff years ago as well, but here's a Twitter thread of stories about Degeneres being mean. There a quite a few of them.

Dude, did you not read what I said? I already referenced that thread and why it's bogus. He was literally offering money to a charity to people if they tweeted bad stories about her.

This is a very thoughtful post OP, you've definitely provided context and powerful facts that highlight how and why a successful lesbian entertainer is being targeted.

Most importantly, it is to shift attention away from institutional abuse by men, both sexual and financial.

Secondly, it is related to wrong think as you indicated so clearly. In particular, TIMs wanting to burn the witch.

Ty for writing such a persuasive and well-researched post. You rocked it!
