#26: Big Screen Reveal
In recent years some people have revealed that Ellen DeGeneres is difficult to work for and with. Former staff members have accused her of creating a toxic work environment, and other stars have implied that she likes to be a bully. Whether these accusations are true or not, it’s pretty evident that she made some celebrities pretty uncomfortable while interviewing them. Justin Bieber seemed pretty embarrassed in a 2015 interview where Ellen displayed a censored nude paparazzi photo of him on her studio’s big screen.
The giant photo of Justin in Bora Bora was kept on the screen for over a minute while Ellen “jokingly” asked him to explain himself. Justin, obviously uncomfortable, reaches to sip from his Ellen mug multiple times during the segment. At one point, he says, “Why are you putting me on the spot like this?!” Good question.
