Celebrity Guests Who Tried to Expose Ellen DeGeneres’s True Nature

Ellen Degeneres may be known by her fans as the nicest woman in Hollywood, but those who have interacted with her have a different story to tell. Many of her celebrity guests have even tried to out her mean ways on her own talk show!

Some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, like Jennifer Aniston and Mark Ruffalo, have had awkward encounters with Ellen and still get invited back to the show. Other stars haven’t been so lucky and have been banned from even setting foot in Ellen’s studio.

During a cringe-worthy interview in 2008, DeGeneres attempted to get Mariah Carey to reveal whether or not she was pregnant by urging the singer to drink champagne.

The way she forced Carey to take a sip of the alcoholic drink, knowing that she may very well be pregnant, didn’t sit right with Carey or most viewers watching.

Ellen sometimes uses her show to force her guests to do things that they wouldn’t normally do. This lead to an embarrassing moment for Jennifer Aniston, who was forced into a kiss with the talk show host. The moment was awkward and Aniston, along with the audience, didn’t know how to react.

Kendall Jenner

The Jenner family hasn’t had a great time appearing on the Ellen Show and after Caitlyn Jenner, Kendall’s father, made a tense appearance, Kendall was reluctant to appear on the talk show again.

Taking sides between her father and the talk show host only created more bad blood between the famous family and DeGeneres.

Ellen DeGeneres frequently uses her daytime talk show to showcase beautiful people, but sometimes these moments get a little too risqué for their time slot. DeGeneres requests her guest Channing Tatum to appear shirtless constantly and he usually seems to be made very uncomfortable by the requests.
