Experts Say Ellen Degeneres Brand is “Bleeding Out” After Latest Abuse and Racism Claims
Question : What's she got to do with child trafficking?
Answer:
A couple of stories have come out lately that seem to contradict the ‘good guy’ persona Ellen portrays. On March 20, comedian Kevin Porter posted a tweet asking for stories people had about horrible ways Ellen treats her employees. He got something like 2,000 responses. You can read them here.
Employees were allegedly fired for taking bereavement days and medical leave, told not to talk to DeGeneres if they saw her at the office, and asked to delete GoFundMe pages used to pay for medical bills not covered by the show’s health insurance. This has led to calls to cancel her talk show. (note: "Calls to" implies that her show has NOT been cancelled as of yet.)
To complicate things even further, there is a conspiracy theory (note: conspiracy theory. This has not been confirmed and several prominent users have dispelled these allegations) going out that Ellen is involved in child trafficking. A Reddit user on July 9 shared a screenshot from Wayfair’s website, which showed the furniture company selling its products for a high price and pointed out that the very names of the expensive cabinets were those that belonged to missing children. Soon internet users began to speculate whether Wayfair’s pricey products were in fact a front for child trafficking. However, a few of them were quick to notice that the American comedian and host Ellen DeGeneres was also selling some of the children’s items from her line with Wayfair. This led them to believe she has, or at least had, a part in child trafficking.
