Ellen DeGeneres Slammed for Comparing Quarantining in Palatial Mansion to Being in Jail: WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

Ellen DeGeneres faced backlash on Tuesday for a joke she made during her first show from her living room.<\/p>\n

Said DeGeneres about being in quarantine: “This is like being in jail, is what it is…mostly because I’ve been wearing the same clothes for ten days and everyone in here is gay<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Appearing to realize that the joke wasn’t too cool, Ellen clapped her hands together and pretended to laugh: “Ahh, the jokes that I have.”<\/p>\n

One fan responded: “Petition to stick her in an actual jail after quarantine is lifted. Just for a month or so, so maybe she can learn something.”<\/p>\n

Another responded: “Put her in Jail DURING the quarantine where prisoners are literally getting coronavirus b\/c they can’t afford bail.”<\/p>\n

Another quipped, “Man it sure is funny how incarcerated people are not given access to proper hygiene and are at an astronomically higher chance of being sexually assaulted.”<\/p>\n

Another said: “Poor Ellen, languishing in her $15 MILLION MANSION. Yes, it’s just like prison.”<\/p>\n

What a great look for Ellen as thousands of people sit in actual jail cells just hoping for the best without soap and basic protections t.co\/RBytt0Kl4B<\/a><\/p>\n

The remarks come after a few months in which the talk show host has been facing a slew of bad publicity. Last fall, she defended her friendship with President George W. Bush<\/a> after chumming it up with him at a ball game, and in recent weeks she has battled a campaign sparked by a viral tweet calling her “one of the meanest people alive.”<\/p>\n

Right now we all need a little kindness. You know, like Ellen Degeneres always talks about! \"😊\"\"❤\"<\/p>\n

She’s also notoriously one of the meanest people alive<\/p>\n

Respond to this with the most insane stories you’ve heard about Ellen being mean & I’ll match every one w\/ $2 to @LAFoodBank<\/a><\/p>\n
