#1 Fans Called Her Racist For Posting This Picture

Talk show host and comedian, Ellen Degeneres got herself caught up in a big fiasco when she jokingly posted pictures of herself to her Facebook account showing her riding on the back of Olympian Usain Bolt. She found herself facing charges from fans that she was racists. To make it worse, the comments she added to the picture read, "This is how I am running errands from now on." She had to take to the spotlight on her show to explain that it was a joke and not to be taken as a slam to African Americans, saying, "I am highly aware of the racism that exists in our country," while adding, "It is the furthest thing from who I am."

#2 She Has Had Several Scandals In The Last Few Years

But this isn't the first time Ellen has been caught up in scandal that has outraged some fans. Last year she was accused of neglecting her 90-year-old father, Elliott DeGeneres, who lived in a second-story apartment ith his wife Virginia. The retired insurance salesman was captured by paparazzi many times struggling to get up the stairs to his apartment while stopping to catch his breath. A clip of him and Virgina, out of breath and carrying bags upstairs made the headlines for a few days as fans begged Ellen to help her own father get a new home or buy him one! An outraged neighbor hinted his famous talk show host daughter, worth an estimated $330 million, rarely visits the modest apartment home where he's lived for more than 20 years. "Elliott and his wife desperately need a new place to live!" said the neighbor. "They can't keep climbing those steps! It's heartbreaking to see!" Ellen rarely speaks to her father because of his divorce from her mother and things from the past.

#3 Portia Is Rail Thin And Ellen Says Nothing

Ellen talks about body-positivity for women, "The way that magazines airbrush everything, women are looking at bodies like that going, 'My stomach doesn't look like that. I'm supposed to look like that?' So they starve themselves and they work out like crazy." However, she beams next to her wife, Portis De Rossi, who struggles with anorexia and looks frail and worn. The actress has had a few brushes with death, yet Ellen stands by and watches as she dwindles away on a frighteningly thin frame.

#4 Her Makeup Team Claims She Has Had Several Surgeries On Her Face

Despite that feminist pose, hypocritical Ellen is also reliant on plastic surgery! Multiple sources have let it leak that Ellen's makeup crew has to labor to cover up Botox and facelift scarring. "It usually takes them about two-and-a-half hours to give Ellen that peaches-and-cream glow that her fans love." One makeup artist for Covergirl, for which Ellen is a spokesperson, says that the comedian has veneers on her teeth and her skin is not naturally glowing. "She is very pale in appearance," the artist said. "Her eyes have definitely been lifted a few times."

#5 Ellen And Portia Are Both Divas

Ellen and Portia go full diva at home, as the pair insists on silence from their servants. An insider said, "Portia insists on absolute silence from her household staff. She gets mega-stressed, especially if she's been working late on her show ‘Scandal,' doing press, or traveling. She wants it pin-drop silent, and if a maid or cook absentmindedly hums while working, there's hell to pay. Ellen shrugs, but knows that when Portia's present, it's strictly STFU!'"

Ellen is said to be a difficult show host as well, with many celebrity guests coming forward over the last few years to tell how rude she behaves when the camera isn't rolling.

#6 Sources Say They Pair Rarely Lives Together

At least the servant's report on the couples at home behavior confirms that they are actually living under the same roof. The phony couple had secretly spent months apart in 2015. Undercover reporters followed Ellen as she frequently traveled between her main residence in West Hollywood and an L.A. hideaway. "Things have definitely been difficult for Ellen and Portia lately," an insider confirmed. "They only lived together last year for about six weeks in total."

#7 She Was Asked To Stop Harassing Airline Passengers

A reporter for a gossip magazine also once caught Ellen just being 'plane' obnoxious. Fellow passengers weren't laughing a few years ago when the funny-lady boarded a coast-to-coast flight and started telling stories about plane crashes, complete with gory details. A woman sitting across from her got so freaked that she asked to change seats. A flight attendant finally had to tell Ellen to "Stop with the crash stories!" The rumor is that she kept trying to make fun of the 9/11 crashes, but the other passengers were not laughing.

#8 She Treats Fans And Guests Like Trash

As stated previously, fans don't get treated much better by Ellen, and a cruel stunt in Las Vegas left them standing for hours waiting for the star to grace them with her presence. Ellen had been pushing a live taping on the Las Vegas strip for a prize promotion, but the TV talker decided to skip the quick flight and phone in her appearance. Hundreds of people arrived at the designated spot and waited hours to learn that Ellen had stayed in her cushy Los Angeles studio, while the live Vegas segment was nothing more than a crowd shot. "I'm probably never going to watch her show again," declared ticked-off Mike Gatlin from Reno, NV. She often makes guests wait in long lines outside the studio before allowing them inside to grab a seat, no matter the weather conditions.

#9 Ellen Is Jealous Now Because Of The Way Anne Heche Left Her

Ellen is also jealous of Portia's interest in MEN! Her breakup with actress Anne Heche, who left her for a man, and was cheating on her with both sexes, left her in an uproar and unable to trust. After Ellen phoned Anne's home in the middle of the night and she wasn't there, the comedienne flipped out when she discovered Anne was with a former boyfriend until the wee hours, and, as she was warned in 1997, Ellen was soon ditched as Anne went back to guys!

#10 She Argued With Portia For Months Over Being Spotted Close With Friends At A Party

But Ellen is jealous of Portia with the ladies as well. It's because of her trust issues. After Portia was pictured looking cozy with Tinseltown cuties Bellamy Young, Darby Stanchfield and Katie Lowes at an ABC network event. "Ellen blew her stack when she saw photographs of Portia getting closer-than-close with two stunning women, Bellamy and Darby, in particular," reports claimed. "They were dressed to the nines and looked absolutely stunning. But what really set Ellen off was how touchy-feely Portia was with them!" This could explain why they separated since household staff says they argued for days about the incident.
