🔥 "Margaret Cho Drops Major Tea ☕️ About Ellen DeGeneres – And It's Juicy!"

TL;DR: Comedian Margaret Cho recently revealed on the Kelly Mantle Show podcast that she’s known Ellen DeGeneres since the ’80s—but claims Ellen was “really weird” and “mean” to her for most of her career. Cho recalled opening for Ellen in clubs, only to be treated like a stranger later, and even accused Ellen of cutting a heartfelt shoutout from David Bowie during his show appearance. Cho’s bold confessions add fuel to the ongoing conversation about Ellen’s legacy post-toxicity allegations.

🎤 The Story Unfolds

Margaret Cho, now 56, spilled all in a candid chat on The Kelly Mantle Show, saying she first met Ellen in the 1980s—when Cho was emerging as a comic and Ellen was headlining clubs. But fast-forward to the 2000s, when Cho guested on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, things changed. “She acted like we just met,” Cho said. “B‑ch, what? It’s so creepy and weird.”

Cho also shared a sneaky slight: Bowie, who appeared on Ellen in 2004, reportedly gushed about Cho’s bold “Chinese emperor” outfit. But Ellen allegedly cut that part from the broadcast. A producer friend allegedly said: “He loves you … God said your name.” Cho was understandably ticked.

Younger fans know Ellen as the “be kind” queen, but the allegations don’t stop there. Cho called Ellen “scary” during the 2020 toxic work‑place revelations, and many former Ellen Show staff echoed similar stories.

🧵 Cho’s Backstory: Why Her Voice Matters

Margaret Cho burst on the comedy scene in the early ’90s with stand-up sharp as steel. She starred in All‑American Girl, a groundbreaking sitcom about a Korean‑American family, becoming the first Asian-American woman to lead a primetime network sitcom. She later hosted Drop Dead Diva and dropped major stand-ups and podcasts, using humor to take on politics, identity, and society.

Ellen DeGeneres rose to fame with her sitcom Ellen (1994–1998) and then her iconic daytime talk show (2003–2022), winning 33 Daytime Emmys. But both her show's run and reputation crashed in 2020 amid toxic culture accusations.

🤔 MediaFx Perspective

From the people's perspective, this is yet another moment when big celebrities hit the spotlight—but behind the glamour, toxic vibes are real. Ellen has been exposed before. Now Cho’s bold words show that things weren’t just negative behind the scenes, they were personal. We believe in shining a torch on how power dynamics hurt working folks—even comedians forging tough paths.
