Ellen Degeneres knew Mariah Carey was pregnant on her show in 2008.
Carey had suffered miscarriages before and was in the early stages, and she didn’t want to make it public yet. She had told Degeneres this explicitly prior to the interview — it was too early on, too emotional, and too fragile. And she did not want to pressure herself or “jinx” it…
Degeneres, however, only thought about her ratings and viewers — if Mariah Carey would announce her first pregnancy on HER show then it’d give Ellen a ton of free publicity. So against agreement, she offered some wine to Carey, which she then politely declined as she was pregnant. And Degeneres more or less manipulated her into spilling the beans on national television… the ordeal was stressful for the famous singer, who miscarried shortly after taping…
There are tons of similar stories about Ellen Degeneres — the only thing the woman cared about was ratings, publicity, money and her reputation. There was no kindness in her, no genuine care. Only emptiness and dollar signs flashing behind her eyes as she expertly mimicked human warmth without possessing any.
