Comedians Speak Out: Margaret Cho, Rosie O'Donnell, and Kathy Griffin on Feuding with Ellen DeGeneres
Margaret Cho recently shared details about a long-standing feud with fellow comedian Ellen DeGeneres. Cho revealed that despite their history, DeGeneres often acted as if they had just met when they crossed paths. Cho recounted a specific incident involving a compliment from David Bowie that was cut from an appearance on DeGeneres' show, leaving her feeling slighted.
Cho is not the only comedian to have issues with DeGeneres. Rosie O'Donnell also mentioned unresolved past conflicts with DeGeneres, emphasizing the importance of unity among LGBTQ+ comedians. O'Donnell expressed surprise at DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's move to the English countryside following Donald Trump's election victory, noting the lack of political statements from DeGeneres in the past.
Kathy Griffin has also been vocal about her feud with DeGeneres, expressing strong negative feelings towards her. Griffin acknowledged some jealousy towards DeGeneres' success but maintained her stance. DeGeneres has maintained a low profile since relocating to the U.K., focusing on her personal life away from the public eye.
