Megyn Kelly and Rob Schneider Critique Ellen DeGeneres’ Netflix Special

In a recent episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, host Megyn Kelly and comedian Rob Schneider discussed Ellen DeGeneres’ new Netflix special, “For Your Approval.” The conversation centered on DeGeneres’ portrayal of herself as a victim in the wake of past controversies surrounding her talk show.

Ellen’s Attempted Comeback

Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime talk show ended after allegations of a toxic workplace environment surfaced. In her Netflix special, DeGeneres addresses these issues, suggesting she was unfairly treated and “run out of Hollywood.” She humorously remarks on being labeled “the most hated person in America,” noting the absence of any formal recognition for such a title.

Kelly and Schneider’s Perspective

Megyn Kelly expressed skepticism about DeGeneres’ victim narrative, pointing out the irony of claiming to be canceled while releasing a new special on a major platform. She highlighted DeGeneres’ substantial earnings and questioned the sincerity of her claims.

Rob Schneider acknowledged the challenges DeGeneres faced but emphasized that personal hardships do not excuse negative behavior towards others. He stressed the importance of addressing and overcoming resentment to prevent repeating harmful patterns.

Public Reaction and Broader Implications

The discussion has sparked conversations about accountability and redemption in the entertainment industry. While some believe DeGeneres deserves a second chance, others feel her approach lacks genuine remorse.

The situation underscores the complexities of public figures navigating comebacks after controversies and the varying perceptions of their efforts to make amends.
