'Bachelorette' star Ali Fedotowsky told fellow 'Bachelor' franchise alum Kaitlyn Bristowe that Ellen DeGeneres made her feel 'stupid' on the comedian's talk show: 'She was laughing at me.'

In the final stand-up special of her career, which debuted in late 2024 on Netflix, DeGeneres spoke about her controversies over the years, claiming that she was "kicked out of show business" after reports claimed that the star wasn't as friendly in real life as she appeared to be on her talk show. DeGeneres also apologized to staff and offered them perks during the scandal, with a source telling EW at the time that she addressed employees by saying, "Does that mean I’m perfect? EW obtained a letter from DeGeneres that was sent to colleagues, in which she stated, "we are taking steps, together, to correct the issues."
