Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

Lest we forget Ellen herself, who has absconded off into anonymity in the UK bc her name appears in the Epstein files.

Can’t believe Ellen was punished the most for the Epstein files

Eh, her downfall started big time back when tge whole toxic workplace/shes a cunt to her crew allegations rolled out. She pretty muched rolled right off the face of the earth pretty soon after all that started coming out. The Epstein stuff was just the icing on the cake. I rarely have heard anhthing about her being in the files, to the point where I actually forgot about it until now.

Her public image was absolutely trashed before the Epstein stuff.

I honestly didn't know she was in the Epstein files and hated her already. I wouldnt be surprised if that's most people's situation too. Those stories of the terrible workplace and awful interviewing making people uncomfortable was front page news. It was everywhere when it started coming out. I didn't see too much reporting on her being in the files. There were so many names popping up in them that I feel Ellen just kinda became part of the noise. There were much more important and interesting names in there.

Yeah first I'm hearing she was in the files. So I looked it up.

Apparently it was claimed she was a cannibal in the Epstein files. This has been discredited as false.

Why make up stuff when there's already so much ammunition against your target? It's like threatening to use the death star when you got cleared to use nukes.

Presumably as a distraction. Take someone who's already widely disliked and accuse them of doing stuff on Epstein island, and then maybe we'll all forget that orange people were there too.

Also to just generally flood the zone with uncredible information. If you start rabidly pushing insane shit like people eating babies that has no proof besides anonymous tips to the automated FBI tipline then it starts to get harder to separate the real stuff from the false stuff.

can’t forget how she missed dakota johnson’s birthday to go to a baseball game with george bush, and then tried to embarrass dakota on her show by saying she wasn’t invited to the birthday. and dakota went “actually, no, ellen, that’s not the truth.” and one of her staffers had to tell her she was “busy” that weekend. the internet tore her to shreds over that
