Celine Dion's 'Invasive' Ellen Interview Resurfaces: Fans React
Ellen DeGeneres' Toxic Talk Show Legacy Uncovered: Celine Dion Confrontation Resurfaces Amidst Fresh Backlash
In a shocking turn of events, The Ellen DeGeneres Show has once again been plagued by controversy as an old interview featuring the legendary Celine Dion resurfaced online. The clip, which originally aired in 2007 on the popular talk show, has sparked heated debates among fans and critics alike, with many revisiting the program's often uncomfortable interviewing style.
In the now-viral segment, Ellen DeGeneres made a cringe-worthy comment about Dion's then-six-year-old son René-Charles' long hair. The pop star, taken aback by the sudden criticism, didn't hesitate to call out Ellen on her remark. "Do you have a problem with that?" she asked, clearly caught off guard.
But Ellen wasn't having it. She attempted to walk back her statement, insisting she didn't have a problem with René-Charles' hair. However, she doubled down, exclaiming, "That is some long hair!" Dion, unfazed by the drama, calmly explained that her son made his own decisions about his appearance and wouldn't be forced into changing it for anyone's approval.
The moment has sparked renewed scrutiny in light of previous controversies surrounding Ellen's behavior toward guests. In 2020, BuzzFeed News published an investigation into The Ellen DeGeneres Show's alleged toxic workplace environment, which led to a broader reexamination of past interviews. One notable example is Mariah Carey's 2008 appearance, where she was pressured into revealing a pregnancy she later miscarried.
Carey would later describe the experience as "extremely uncomfortable." Though Ellen denied knowing about any toxicity behind the scenes, even insisting in 2021 that celebrity guests always commented on the show's "happy atmosphere," old clips like this are once again calling that into question. Fans are reacting to the Dion moment with fresh eyes, labeling it a prime example of Ellen's often invasive and uncomfortable interviewing style.
"I love how badly some of these Ellen clips have aged," one Reddit user wrote. "She was viewed as a 'fun' and 'happy' place to go promote things, but instead, some people got rude, invasive questions masked under humor, and some people she literally scared the daylights out of with her 'surprises.'"
Another fan chimed in: "This is also such a weird topic for Ellen to bring up. She has Celine Dion sitting with her on a talk show, and she wants to focus on her kids' hair? It's like she thought that was the most interesting thing about René-Charles!"
As fans continue to dissect the infamous interview, many are left wondering why it took so long for Ellen to be exposed for some of her "terrible" behavior.
