Beauty blogger NikkiTutorials has spoken about being interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres, as rumours continue to swirl regarding the talk show host's frosty persona.
In two revealing interviews, the YouTuber NikkieTutorials, real name Nikkie De Jager, slammed DeGeneres, describing her as “distant and cold”, and detailing her experience on The Ellen Show.
“Call me naive, but I kind of expected to be welcomed with confetti cannons: ‘Welcome to The Ellen DeGeneres Show!’ But instead I was greeted by an angry intern who was a bit overworked,” the 26-year-old makeup artist said in a translated version of an interview with Dutch publication & C. ''I was expecting a Disney show, but got Teletubbies after dark.''
Watch Nikkie on Ellen below:Nikkie went on to speak how she was forbidden from using the nearest bathroom, which was apparently reserved for a bigger celebrity that was due to go on next. Instead, she was told to use the public bathroom.
“I was not allowed to use the nearest toilet, because it was reserved for the Jonas Brothers. Why do they get a private toilet, I thought,” she explained.
Watch Ellen’s emotional message to celebrate life every day:And in January, the makeup artist appeared on Dutch program De Wereld Draait Door where she also spoke about how DeGeneres "wasn’t as nice” as she’d expected. "It’s nice that you say ‘hi’ before the show … she didn’t. Ellen is just such a different world," she said.
"Just a little … It was a huge honour to be on that stage with Ellen, but it wasn’t as nice as I thought. After Ellen I figured, don’t meet your idols,” she added.
This comes amid the revelation that crew members from DeGeneres' talk show have not been informed about their pay and employment amid the COVID-19, as she continues to broadcast the show alone from her home. Further, last month, she was slammed as “one of the meanest people alive” in a Twitter thread that included responses from Hollywood insiders.
