Both Planned Parenthood and its supporter Ellen DeGeneres have come under fire recently due to allegations<\/a> of toxic work environments that include racism. It seems that each projected an image of benevolence, while in reality, things were the opposite behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

DeGeneres has an extensive fanbase and has had a reputation of generosity and kindness, yet celebrities who have been on the show\u2014along with nearly 40 employees\u2014say<\/a> it is “common knowledge” that she is “one of the meanest people alive.” She is being accused of creating a workplace full of racism and sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

Right now we all need a little kindness. You know, like Ellen Degeneres always talks about! ?\u2764\ufe0f <\/p>\n

She\u2019s also notoriously one of the meanest people alive<\/p>\n

Respond to this with the most insane stories you\u2019ve heard about Ellen being mean & I\u2019ll match every one w\/ $2 to @LAFoodBank<\/a><\/p>\n
