Ellen DeGeneres is once more under fire for her treatment of a star guest on her canceled daytime show.
Emily Ratajkowski slammed the TV megastar on Friday for humiliating 33-year-old Taylor Swift as her profession was taking off.
“That is so fucked up. He’s literally begging her to stop,” the 31-year-old model states within the comment section a video that went viral this week on TikTok.
The Post contacted a representative of DeGeneres, 64, for comment.
TikToker merged two of Swift’s clips together. One is her interview with Zane Lowe in 2019 and the opposite is her appearance on DeGeneres in 2012. The user seems to imply that Swift was dismissing her experiences with the DeGeneres program when discussing with Lowe, though Swift doesn’t mention names.

Within the segment, Lowe Swift alludes to an old interview that made her uncomfortable when she was 23, saying that folks at the time were “reducing” her to who she dated by “making slideshows of my dating life and putting people there who I used to take a seat next to at a celebration.
“They decided my songwriting was gimmick, not skill and craft,” she told Lowe candidly on Apple Music’s Beats 1.
“It is a way of taking a lady who does her job and is successful at doing her job and making things, and sort of determining methods to completely minimize that ability,” Swift continued.
In a 2012 clip, DeGeneres torments the singer with a slideshow of photos of Swift with a spread of various men. From Taylor Lautner to Justin Bieber, DeGeneres gets the “All Too Well” singer to present it to the guy he sings about on his album.
“I don’t desire to,” she pleads as DeGeneres asks her to call when an image of a muse appears on the screen. “They are going to send me offended emails and I don’t desire to receive them.”
Swift, though young at the time, was not afraid to fight back.
“Stop, stop, stop!” The singer exclaims as DeGeneres sits within the chair across from him, smiling. “It makes me feel so bad about myself. Each time I come here, you show a distinct dude on the screen, and it makes me really wonder what I represent as a human being.

Beneath the TikTok clip, which garnered 1.5 million views, viewers lit up the comment section, expressing dismay and disgust at the longtime talk show host.
“Unbelievable,” wrote popular content creator Tinx.
“You may literally hear how nervous she is in her voice,” one user argued.
“She’s clearly nervous, but she has to ‘perform’ to laugh about it since the audience is laughing at her,” one person highlighted.
“Taylor’s ‘I don’t desire to do that’ must have been enough to make Ellen stop,” another person proclaimed.
“Ellen has some really sketchy interviews,” one other commented.
DeGeneres, who has apologized for “toxic” workplace allegations from former employees, was called in for interviews, some say, missed.
In 2008, the host revealed Mariah Carey’s secret pregnancy when the singer pretended to take a sip of champagne. Later, after a miscarriage, Carey said Vulture she was “uncomfortable” at the time.
In one other instance, Dakota Johnson slapped a bunch when DeGeneres wrongly accused the “50 Shades of Grey” actress of not inviting her to her birthday celebration.
“Actually no, that is not true, Ellen” Johnson stated on the air.
The DeGeneres show led to May 2022 after 19 seasons.
Multihyphenate returned to the highlight last month to specific sadness over the death of her on-air DJ, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who committed suicide at the age of 40.
