Margaret Cho has openly discussed her complicated relationship with comedian Ellen DeGeneres, calling her 'weird and not nice.' Appearing on The Kelly Mantle Show, Cho reflected on how DeGeneres's public persona contrasts with her private behavior, labeling her a 'mean girl.' Cho recounted experiences dating back to their comedy beginnings in the 80s, indicating a lack of warmth from DeGeneres. She also expressed anger over how DeGeneres edited out a conversation about David Bowie from her show, highlighting feelings of disrespect linked to DeGeneres's wider controversies amid allegations of a toxic work environment on her show before its conclusion in 2022.
Ellen is so complicated. The public perception of DeGeneres is now closer to reality... [she is] a mean girl.
Ellen was, like, really weird and not nice to me for most of my career. That was a level of suspicion between us.
When I would do her show in the 2000s, she acted like we just met. That's weird, we go way back.
It was rude for DeGeneres to cut out my conversation with David Bowie; I took it personally.
