Denzel Washington has never shared this story, like a real professional. Ellen Pompeo didn't let this stay on the set. She chose to make this a problem. She was the problem.
Exactly!! You get it!!
Well said, Katelyn. Professionalism is key and I agree with this.
That’s just like when I leave one organization and start working for another /or a competitor, I won’t speak on ill situations from the last organization. It doesn’t look good nor will it sit well.
Right, Mr. Washington was/is the consument professional.
No, women chose to make this a problem that weren't even there.
Like wow.
Exactly
“Some. Stories. Need. To. Die. With. You.” Lolol Garcelle is amazing.
When loni said just because you're married to a man from another culture doesn't have free reign to speak on that culture
Exactly
That goes for geannie mai as well!
jeanie wept
lmao where’s tamera when you need her
yeah those two yellow women didnt even get it but are hooked up to two black men....hope that struck a nerve because they are just so shallow it shows
Ellen Pompeo really thought she was doing something and was gonna get praised for being a "bad ass feminist" but instead she just exposed herself for being egocentric and unprofessional. Denzel was hired to direct and wasn't feeling her improv, she could've tried to defend her change of script instead of being disrespectful.
Hope you realise, an actors job is to improvise in the moment especially is they are the lead and take the scene from A to Z. In the moment she took an acting call.
Denzel could have just taken her to the side and told her that he strictly wanted to stick to the script and not improvise.
That was the mature way of handling it. But he decided to shout and misbehave first. That was highly uncalled for and Ellen met him in the middle too. Honesty speaking both of them at fault.
But these woman at the Real have turned into race baiters like the women on Talk. Denzel is forgiven coz he is black. If he were white we would be applauding Ellen.
That is what this sham is…
Ellen Pompeo is a good person and a great ally to Black lives, LGBTQ, and equality in general. I personally side with her because this is her place of work, and staff (that includes Denzel) will get into it. A motherf*cker can be anybody men, women, black, white, whatever, lol. This is not the first time actors and directors have butt heads, lol. That wasn't racial at all. They're putting too much weight on a decrepancy at work, lol. Denzel has been known to be homophobic but I don't see anyone talking about that, lol.
@@kayjay3264 An actor's job isn't to improvise, it's to show up on time and stick to the script. Some actors do feel the need to improvise once in a while to add something they feel might be missing BUT it's up to the directors and producers to determine if the improv should be kept or dismissed. Denzel didn't start the aggressions by telling her to stay on script, she did by yelling and insulting him. That whole "this is my set" shows her trye colors. She's an employee like everyone else.
Ellen stated it was her show, her set and showed disrespect by calling him an MF. If a person go to their job tomorrow and called their manager a MF, say this is my business and my department, lets see how long they keep their job.... she was wrong and should have kept the story to herself. Why share the story 5 years later like it is something to boast about. It is odd, all of a sudden these women are telling their encounter with Denzyl at the same time. First Katty Couric and now Ellen. Who's next..
Killer Queen I don’t agree.
Ellen is the executive producer. She is someone working on the show forever. Number one on the call sheet. Respect is a two way street. Why should only Denzel be given all the respect when the woman has worked forever to keep the show on air.
She in the podcast said - Denzel gave her “hand on ass” which means he lashed out. Now why you choose not to believe her is your call. But she used those words.
I agree that she also acted really poorly - but let’s not pretend that Denzel was not wrong in the first place. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Whilst I condone Ellen’s retort which was very immature and narcissistic I am just surprised that no one has called out Denzel and person my I feel ally of it has to do with him being Black coz is this guy was white pepper would have been applauding Ellen.
I agree with Loni for the first time in a long time. Garcielle was afraid to say it but this is called the REAL… not the sugar coat. Ugh, Denzel IS Black excellence! Respect him
Thank you it was because he was a Black Man.
I seen a clip from the real housewives the other day and I was shook! LOL she doesn’t bite her tongue on that show🤭
Exactly
So many ignorance. Like Garcelle said it’s not a race thing. Not everything is about race. Maybe y’all are the racist because y’all are making it about race. Just call her a bitch. But I don’t think she’s a racist. I feel like these days when a who’re person does something wrong it’s automatic racism
@@frisc0pn0ib0i I don't think anyone said she was racist. it's the fact that Ellen felt so comfortable telling the story and felt like just because she has a black husband and mixed kids she could talk to Denzel however she wanted to because she's an "ally" she got way to comfortable imo
Denzel kept this story private, she should have done the same, and he did nothing wrong. Someone can respect you while they disagree with your actions. Also, I'm white and I think we all need to leave Denzel alone. This is the second white woman I've seen try to knock him down. Making trouble where trouble doesn't exist.
So now you see where we as the Black community get so furious when a 'story' from some white women comes out about one of our's that we love, we have every right to side eye and doubt. I remember Katie Couric, which I used to like until she pulled that BS on him a few years ago and then recently said she felt "threatened or intimidated" or whatever it was. Those words coming from a white women has gotten thousands of Black men killed in this country.
@@brownsugako7772 I was so disgusted when Katie Couric's story came out. He did nothing wrong there. I think Denzel is respectful to everyone, no matter his beliefs, and because he's a black man who got ahead some white women are mad they can't get as far in life as they want to even though we deal with sexism. She is famous and I think wanted this famous black man to stand with her for her white feminist moment, but he disagreed respectfully and he was the director.
@@brownsugako7772 What the hell this has to do with race? Wmf yall really doing to damn much 🤦🏾♂️
It's always white liberals. ALWAYS.
Well said I totally agree with you and I see no disrespect on Denzel's part towards Ellen so all of this was completely uncalled for.
The problem i had with Ellen Pompeo is that she herself said she was telling the actor in the scene what he needs to do basically trying to do Denzel's job and got mad with him for saying she need to step back and let him do his job.
She can't act to me that y I don't watch her fast aging ass
She showed a lack of respect for denzel he was directing not her ! The sad thing was she thought story was cute but no it wasn’t at all she just came across as arrogant and a privileged white woman, by the way greys anatomy hasnt been
Good since derek left 😡
@@BlueButterfly83 undeniably the worst actor on the show. She ways has been. I've never understood how she got the role to begin with.
Her resume and credentials aren't even 10% of his, yet she has the gall to ask him who the hell he thinks he is?! Girl, sit down, shut up, and take a few notes from a legend. You might learn something.
It's a shame the actor she was attempting to direct didn't politely remind her that DENZEL was the director. But the attitude "Pompous Pompeo," has, I don't think it would have made a difference. Still, I do wish the other actor had said something.
@@Chocobear555 he was just a guest actor for a couple of scenes that one episode, so he may not have felt comfortable contradicting her.
Loni’s points are spot-on in this discussion. 👌🏾
…I have to admit that she caught me a little off guard when she was almost brought to tears. 😯 …However, her emotional response is completely understandable and justified. …Denzel is definitely viewed as a “pillar” of “the culture” in the eyes of many. That is why Pompeo is facing this level of backlash in response to her statements.
Yes, Loni is very emotional. It can be a bit off putting sometimes.
For a lot of people Denzel was proof that you could be black and successful in Hollywood and well respected. A lot of people that came before him did not crossover as well as he did or were seen as a “joke”
Denzel is simply an amazing amd wonderful individual. Many look up to him and his beautiful character.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I think Ethan Hawk sharing that story with her made her realize even more his struggle to have to always maintain excellence in adversity and that is a lot of responsibility for anyone and she got emotional…
I do think it’s a subconscious race issue. She may not be racist, but she can still hold implicit biases. She just simply would not have done this to a white actor with denzels resume.
I think there's some validity to that. It didn't make sense to me that he was brought on because she's a huge fan but at the same time she treated him so dismissively and disrespectfully. But that's in keeping with how some people treat Black entertainers and athletes. They love their work but don't see them as on their same level of human, even when married to a Black person, see Donald Sterling. In her case, I think it's definitely subconscious, though.
That whole nonsense with her not wanting to be with a Black man onscreen because she was dating a Black man was really telling. If a Black man is a man just like any other man, then what difference does it make, unless you're fetishizing them, in which case it makes more sense that you would shy away from dating one onscreen because of your personal life. She would never say to a White man that she didn't want to be in a relationship onscreen with him because she's in a relationship in real life with a White man.
Exactly so!
Plus there's also that a black actor could *never* have pulled this without consequences not just on set... but career wise.
@@miwawilliams1339 right, just like she would’ve never referred to it as her show if a white man had created. Lolol Theres so many layers. She really exposed her damn self 🤣
pretty sure she wouldn't have allowed any newbie on set to yell at her
@@edithputhy4948 referring to Denzel as a “newbie” is very misplaced. He’s directed before greys and has been the industry longer than Ellen.
Loni looks stunning! Orange is definitely her color
Definitely! She looks so good
I was thinking the same, that color suits her♥️
I agree with Garcelle & Loni there is racial under tones and yes people who are married to another race feel they have a pass. It’s about RESPECT
Garcelle *
Chile who’s Gabrielle 😭 Is Gab Union somewhere in this video that I missed?
@@JustinWilliams02 😂
Loni did that many many times making white jokes with Tam while dating James
100%
I agree Denzel deserved more respect on that set. But I am confused as to what exactly Ellen wanted from telling this story. Like what was her point? I remember Issa Rae was talking about how Kerry Washington directed a episode of Insecure. That’s literally Issa’s show and she still respected the fact that Kerry was the director and she pushed them further one scene.
Asserting the typical victimized white woman syndrome. It was simply her time.
She wanted more hits for her new podcast.
She probably was waiting for Denzel to talk so the whole thing can escalate into a full blown drama. But since, he just moved on like nothing happened, she felt she needed to "air that laundry in public" to draw him out.
She was spoiling for a fight and the opponent refused to get into the ring.
Instead, she became infamous for her "trouble".
That is GOD fighting for Denzel.
The style squad really stepping it up this season everyone’s looking 🔥🔥🔥
Look like they steal Wendy’s style squad 🥺
Yes, love all of their looks.
Facts so stylish and beautiful 😍
Agreed
Agree finally Loni looks Gooodt!!!!!
Not her expecting Denzel to bow down to her because it’s HER set while HIS directing 💀💀
FYI- she was yet wrong because it was Shonda Rhimes set ‼️💯
Chile....the gall of it all..
director of a TV episode is not that important a job, it's not like a movie director and since there's no Grey's Anatomy without Meredith Grey it really is her show and he was only there for a few days
@@edithputhy4948 Umm no. It Shondra Rhimes show actually. She could be replaced if it was really necessary
@@4naymsakeRW yeah it's Shonda Rhimes show but it's also her show since she's both the title character and executive producer which means she ranks higher than director. She can't be replaced, that would be like Law&Order SVU without Mariska Hargitay, it would make no sense.
The fact that the 2 women married to black men didn’t understand the racial undertone in this story is really telling. Y’all got to study and research some stuff especially bringing little black babies in this world.
💯
No question well said! 💯
one of those women referred to Black men as the side dish too in the past
Well said, alot of these other races are married to black men and think its cute and cool to have a mixed black kid. But have nooo idea about the struggles of being black.
Jeannie has always played stupid when it came to these type of issues. Looking for every reason under than Sun, besides what it is, white privilege. Jeannie is a Asian Karen.
Garcelle’s funny story at the end is the comedic relief this segment needed , sheesh😳
For real. Loni over there crying, and i'm like, 😧 🤣🤣
I was like 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@BellaBaileyVito we love Denzel & we don't want him disrespected!! PERIOD!!!!!
All I can say is this, just because you're married to a black person doesn't mean that you can't be racist. You will still say and do racist things...
100% true!
And the issue for me is she keeps hiding behind her black husband and mixed kids. ANYTIME she speaks on diversity she says I have a black husband and babies.
I don't care how long ago it was, she should've kept it to herself!
This has the same energy as working with those retail employees that act like supervisors just because they’ve been working there for years
the show is Grey's Anatomy and she is Meredith Grey..would the retailer disappear if those employees quit?
@@edithputhy4948 nope they’d just get replaced lol
@@ValerieAbena exactly but there is not Grey's Anatomy without Meredith Grey
@@edithputhy4948 lol I kind of disagree. The show has been going downhill without the supporting cast and her character has added nothing to the show for the past few seasons💀
Guuurl
She’s weird, she uses her husband as a defense
It's more common than you think
Exactly!!!
I think that’s what rubs me about Black men and other women not just yt ones.
Who?
@@traceytracey3756 ..That lady Ellen.
Loni did her homework before speaking on this subject.
Adrienne and Jeannie desperately need to engage in an Africana Studies course.
Exactly. They’re always trying to deny things and play ignorant. For the sake of her child, I hope Jeannie gets a grip and learns about how pervasive anti-Blackness is in all facets of society and how situations like Ellen and Denzel have obvious racial undertones
@@africanodyssey4805 She'll learn soon enough.
I really don’t think this have much to do with race and hate when people resort to reducing every confrontation to race.
Loni and G-Money, agreed! She should have kept that story because she brought the backlash on herself. We love Denzel, and she was the one that disrespected him for her arrogance and pride.
Took me a while to realize that G-Money is Garcelle🤣❤
@@Amanda-be7eq still didn’t know until your comment 😂❤️
I hear Loni say it a lot lol
"G-money"💀💀
@@Amanda-be7eq It always does still not really used to it tbh lol but I think its a cool nickname they gave her mostly loni😅
Funny how Adrienne and Jeannie didn't want to understand, yet they are with black men. The two black women had to teach them how offensive that was and why it had racial undertones😑
Damn right
It had RACIAL OVERTONES when black women made it about respecting black excellence. This is honestly destructive.
Both of them disappointed me in this segment, they just did not get it. I don't care what Ellen has spoken up for and her deciding to tell this story it does not change the fact she was wrong! Don't make excuses for her actions. Loni and Garcelle were on point she was disrespectful and now she is facing the consequences of bringing up this story again.
@@Grimm_Butterfly It’s only destructive when you don’t know when to keep your mouth shut and you honestly believe you’re an “Honorary” black person by marital association! Wrong!
All of it is speculation. There is proof for Loni's claims.
Adrienne trying to act like it's confusing how Ellen is acting. I ain't confused. I know exactly where she's coming from. Thank you Loni and Garcelle for getting it. Ellen was so far outside her lane on this one she should have started running. To be that disrespectful and then to gloat about it tells me all I need to know about her character.
Loni explained it perfectly. We RESPECT Denzel in our community.
I don't know who your community is but Mr. Washington is respected in all communities.
@@spikesgirl9371 our community is the black community that we hold Denzel in a high regard in. I can’t speak for any other communities other than my own.
I agree with Garcelle and Lonie 100%.
I'm with them both!! 💯
that’s not really fair for jeannie to compare this to Emily Ratajkowski’s story of getting groped… two completely different scenarios
Seriously, she was reaching.
She always do that!
Like someone else said. Jeannie is a Asian Karen!
@@PhillyGirlLivefromthe215 🤣🤣
@@antwonettefelder9429 😄😄😅😊
Thank you Loni and Garcelle. You said what needed to be said. Period.
Adrienne needs to tell me where she gets her outfits from. Getting so many ideas for fall. 😍
I think all the ladies looks you can find on their website, they will tell you where its from.
she always looks so cute. Sometimes she posts them on IG with brands tagged
@@AdoseofAlana_ Adrienne is just simply pretty!
I love her jeans
Every time she steps on set!!! Definitely best dressed
I'm glad Loni brought up the "MF" thing because sharing the story is one thing, but the way Ellen prefaced it with "he came at me" or whatever way it was made the headline as if to make Denzel sound problematic is the problem!!
Sho u rite
She was disrespectful. Being married to a black man doesn’t give her privilege to disrespect black men.
Denzel ain't your husband Ellen .lol
Jeanie take notes. Just because your married to a black man does not mean you get a black card. Facts
Jeannie Mai is an opportunist . Only thing she loves is money & status . CAN'T see that marriage or industry hook up lasting if it's NOT benefiting her PERIOD!
Loni and Garcelle are 1000% right but was anyone surprised that the other two women were trying to make excuses for Ellen's behavior? And why talk so loud? Calm down, no one is trying to talk over you.😂
She called him a word that they had to bleep…why is Garcelle playing the “I don’t do the race thing” card. Like seriously? Race isn’t a card to play, it’s a card we were dealt. Knock it off.
Literally! Basically every interaction we have with them involves race. Wish it didn’t, but it’s reality.
"Race isn't a card to play. It's a card we're dealt." Perfectly said.
Garcelle was tip toeing about the situation. Loni said it straight up.
Thank you sis Garcelle was playing it safe
@Sasha..
Because that wasn’t her point. She’s in the industry, her point had to do with the fact that on a set, the director IS/should be the most respected person, period. But it may have been that Ellen didn’t respect him as a director- maybe she only took him seriously as an actor. It may truly have nothing to do with race. People don’t respect Angelina Jolie as a director as well…. I think that was the point.
Ellen got real comfortable after Shonda left for her to say it's her show.
didnt she tho
I’m sorry what do you mean by Shonda left? I don’t watch greys anatomy.
@@8SeventeenForever the creator of the show left the show for a Netflix deal
@@Spideymrw it’s still produced and provided by Shondaland. So basically she still gets a “cut” and has a say. She just handed showrunner and the main producing/writing off to Krista Vernoff, Ellen, Debbie Allen and a couple others.
I wonder why Adrienne behaves like that when someone has a different opinion? The shouting and being flabbergasted when others are sharing really baffles me.
That's her "thing" she does. Its the reason I stopped watching years ago, it became too annoying
I was thinking the same thing lol.
Yes I think Adreannie need to tone it down a bit she's loud ,but why?
That’s her expressing herself.
Loud and wrong
I haven no issue with Ellen but I agree. That was a story she could’ve kept to herself. He was the DIRECTOR and she was adlibbing and trying to call the shots so if he reprimanded her for that, it was well deserved. I agree that if that was Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, etc guest directing, she would have kept her mouth shut.
no she wouldn't, she already asserted herself over Patrick Dempsey as the lead of the show, so she would have done the same thing with a big white actor that's only on the show for a few days
@@edithputhy4948 I like Patrick Dempsey but he is not on the level of Tom Cruise or Jack Nicholson so it's easier to assert dominance over him.
@@GG-yb1ye point is Ellen Pompeo is known to stand her ground on her turf so she didn't appreciate a one episode director yelling at her
@@edithputhy4948 It's easy to "stand your ground" when you believe you won't receive backlash. She was arrogant and disrespectful to call him a motherf*****. It shows she lacks respect.
It doesn't matter if it's 1 episode he's the director. That's like your manager going on a 1 week vacation and someone comes in to act in their position but you refuse to listen to them because you've been there longer.
Yes there are things you will know because you've been in that environment longer but there are also things you won't see because you have been in the space too long.
Denzel was new to the set but not to acting and directing. He has seniority in that sense. If she felt her improv was needed she should've just defended why she did what she did without being disrespectful to an acting legend.
💯
She told that story with such pride, she was smelling herself.
proud = pride
@@CC-si3cr Thanks, just saw it and fixed it
She had a Karen moment, that's for sure.
Absolutely
@Crab Meat But IT IS her set. She knows way better than any guest director. What did you expect her to do, say nothing?
@Crab Meat @Crab Meat literally it is Shonda rhimes set I agree, but there is no Grey's anatomy without Ellen pompeo, And you see what you did there, calling her a "lil employee" tell me why you shouldn't face backlash for referring to Ellen like that or is it just because you didn't call her a motherf*****. She's not a "lil employee" on greys she's a big one, I admit that using the word she used was rude, but voicing her opinion isn't.
@Crab Meat Also you know what I call a place where all I do is obey people and say nothing, an "hostile one"
@Crab Meat Meredith Grey is one of the least important characters on Grey's anatomy???
Thank you Loni. I don't think Adrian and Jeanie Mai who is now married to a Black man can relate. Ellen Pompeo was rude and entitled. How dare her. How would she feel about another white woman disrespecting her unemployed black husband. She needs to go down on her knees and thank the black female creator of that show. Who else would have employed her. Her behavior was very unprofessional and in corporate America it is called insubordination.
And it's a SHAME that they STILL can't. Even after being married to Black men, having these discussions over the years about white entitlement, etc.
Good ole COMMON SENSE should be enough to understand this situation and yet, here they are - failing miserably to Get It.
@@robinvolpi Old habits die hard. Racism is so inculcated in the society, it is a part of the DNA. These "Karens" walking around thinking they are God's gift to the world, need to understand they are a menace to the society. Nothing more nothing less.
Thank you Loni! That's just the fact. Besides she didn't need to share that story. If you do share stories like this, be ready to live with the consequences!
Protection Denzel at all cost. Ellen effed up with this one.
She is wrong
Yup
So it's wrong to disagree with someone whether they famous or not?
Preach
I usually love Adrienne but why was she going out of her way to minimise how wrong Ellen’s statements and actions were. And I hate that Garcelle didn’t stick to her initial guns that it was a racial story because for sure Ellen would NEVER talk to Spielberg or Scorsese like that. As for Adrienne talking about Ellen being an ally, and being the one to speak up for equal pay, as if there were no Black or POC celebs speaking up. Adrienne coming across herself and making Ellen seem very white saviourish. Adrienne really needs to do some research on how problematic Ellen has been when speaking on Black issues before coming to try and defend her. Loni is very right, Ellen has said some slick stuff that she thinks she can say because she has a Black husband. Adrienne really annoyed me this segment.
I think Garcelle's point was that whatever Ms. Pompeo's motivations then or now, what was clear is that there was a clear lack of respect then and now in the incident and how she told the story. Whether Adrienne or anyone one else is uncomfortable speculating about any racial aggression, Ms. Pompeo was entirely disrespectful. Bottom line, it is about respect.
Smt so she spoke to Denzel funny because of race? Smt
Adrienne honestly thinks that she can white wash everything with these stupid hashtags, "like speaking your truth." Adrienne, please respect the facts as Ellen told them and based on what she claimed happened, she was dead wrong and didn't need defending. Stop trying to be so fu$cking woke.
Adrean and Jeannie tripping here, what the hell are they talking about? How do they not see the problem here, are they pretending or what?
Just giving a different perspective
On another note, I really don’t like the way that Adrienne or Jeanie handled this segment. It felt insensitive.
100%
Jeannie is guilty of this and Adrienne is trying to be Switzerland. That's why they was handled poorly.
Right @maryboyd. It was Adrianne’s comments that rubbed me wrong way. The whole “You’re being very specific about race…” and “it’s her story!” All while Garcelle and Loni were finishing their points. Like girl, you’re doing it!
I agree. I feel like Garcelle was scared to say it was racial as well. She kept saying it was about respect. 🙄
Tbh I really don't think some people who aren't of the race the incident pertains to always understand that there are racial undertones behind why it occurred. It's being willfully ignorant. I feel like Ellen probably didn't respect what Denzel was saying because she was a regular on the show and probably felt like she knew what was best in the moment and was used to telling others what to do as well.
Jeannie looks so cute with her pigtails 😭
She really does.
Ellen has been a Karen. If you listen to her stories you’ll see it.
Yup lol Im starting to realize this.. somehow in all grays anatomy drama she's a common denominator somehow
Yesss
Lonnie I felt that and I too am tired of the entitlement and disrespect
It was the lack of self-recrimination and actual glee with which she told the story that is the issue.
Loni told the truth. The way that she told the story also showed levels of disrespect years after the initial incident.
But sexual assault is completely different from you being rude to a director...
By the way Chadwick was ready to ascend to the level of Denzel before he was taken from us so soon. He was loved universally.
Thank you Loni for keeping it real. Ellen was out of line this man was there to direct and she went on her power trip about this is her show. Loni is right she thinks she could get away with things like this and its not okay. Adrienne all you have to do is go online and read the comments the backlash she faced is because she had zero respect for Denzel. Denzel is a big name in the industry, has far more accolades than her and she is out there calling him names as if he was beneath her.
Well said! I agree!
Period!! That’s it, that’s all! That’s why folks are upset! To me, it seemed like Adrienne kept making excuses for her. Listen, we get all the things Ellen stands for and advocates for…BUT, like Garcelle was saying…that DOES NOT give you a pass to talk to anyone any kind of way. I took it as her demeaning his position as director. And with her being white and Denzel being black, he probably couldn’t respond because of the Karen route she may take. I don’t know…I just know she was wrong and disrespectful and what you said was absolutely right!
💯! And let’s not forget mother F* is as racist as the N word!!!!!! Just the origins of the words should not be utter either!
@@Tawilliams1980 don't be silly, the word motherf**ker originated way before America was even discovered
@@edithputhy4948 if so where is the father f*?
She was not professional and Denzel pointed it out. She went off on him for no reason. I bet he brushed it off coz she is a white woman and karens create tons of drama. But Ellen is a terrible actress and it would have been a humbling moment for her but she went ballistic and that is not right. I don't think it's a race thing. It's most likely a power trip thing. Ellen thinks she owns the show.
Without Ellen there would be no show
Well the name Grey is in the title so the whole show is about her 😭
This reminds me of the Karen who was insulting and shouting racial slurs at a young blk waiter with a 4 biracial kids standing behind her embarrassed... I’m confused as to what kind of response she was expecting ... this shows how entitled she is. Denzel has not been known to be a disrespectful person but no matter what from the way she speaks about the show being hers no conversation could go right...
No it wasn't a screaming match, it was Denzel doing his job as a director versus Ellen pompeo being a self‐entitled & disrespectful control freak.
doesn't she say in the podcast that denzel went ham on her? and then she yelled? im so confused.
@@mauriciojordan471 he went ham on her because as stated in the video and podcast, she was adlibing/ saying stuff that wasn’t in the script. So he was essentially doing his job as the director. Then she got disrespectful
@@deasiabrannon805 I’m just clarifying stuff here I’m not trying to disrespect anybody: is yelling because you’re the director okay? The way I heard the story in the podcast is she made a choice as an actor he didn’t like and he yelled at her. And she yelled back. Being a director doesn’t give you carte blanche to just yell at people. That’s not what directing is. So if the story is: she made a choice in a show she’s been a part of for more than a decade and the director disagreed with that choice, and rather than telling her he just yelled and she yelled back, then I think he shouldn’t have yelled at her, rather should have directed her in a different way.
Now what I’m confused about is: if she yelled at this actor as herself, and directed him, rather than make the choice in character (because the episode they were filming has a story in which Meridith would probably yell at this person anyways), then she shouldn’t have yelled at that actor, and Denzel was standing up for that smaller actor. I’m just unclear over what the case is.
Denzel is an icon. Ellen is a tv icon. Like that is the house her snd shonda rhymes built. And any director yelling at an actor is not okay. But if she yelled at another actor like not in character then I’m glad he stood up for him. I just don’t understand why people think it’s okay for a director to just “go ham” on people.
Hopefully this sounds respectful because I also want to acknowledge that Denzel is a Black icon and he deserves respect. But like… the queen of England can yell at me and I’ll yell back because it’s not okay to treat people this way. So I’m just confused.
@@deasiabrannon805 yes you are right, and also even if Denzel did scream at her, it was after she screamed at the other actor, while her character has a broken jaw and cannot speak... So she actually went out of character and screamed at her colleague, she couldn't ad-lib dialogue in that scene... Therefore, I think Denzel was right to remind her she is not the director, he is... Then she doubles down, by disrespecting him and calling him a MF... LIKE what, I really don't get how she thought this was a good story to tell 🤦🏽♀️
@@celinel.844 okay and this is the missing part that I wasn’t understanding, her character couldn’t have spoken to that other character in that way (or at all) because her jaw was broken, so the person who was being disrespectful was Ellen for literally just yelling at an actor who’s probably intimidated by her and Denzel. I really don’t think yelling is okay in a set or performance setting, performing is already so emotional that adding stress to that setting by yelling outside of character choices and acting just makes everything tense. Thank you for clarifying that for me.
loni crying caught me off gaurd, but jeannies face @ 5:11 has me LMFAOOOO
I think that's the same face all of us made after what Loni said😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
Lol. Right...it's like can you tell a story without crying or going too far with it...
Lmbo!!!! I'd even notice it she was caught off guard too and plus the timer or producer was provably telling them to wrap up the segment
Loni needs to get a grip, he's an actor not freaking Nelson Mandela
The whiplash 😂😂
I never liked Pompeo. She always had a snotty, arrogant vibe about her. Denzel comes across as a much more humble person. I agree with Loni and Garcelle. I disagree with Adrienne here. It may be your story but sometimes your story hurts and damages other people.
LONI TELL IT! Ty. Just because you are sleeping with another race ( like everyone on this show), does not mean you get a free pass. Adrian is too loud all the time.
Everybody and they mama got a podcast 😂
I’m so ready for the podcast faze to die
@@jazziesworld103 same!!
I know right? And what's so sad is that they ain't got sh!t to say. Never did.
Right! It’s so overplayed
Lol.. with videos too. Like what happened to a podcast being just audio.. smh
You don’t need to share everything.
I think Lonnie is crying because she's in the business and something properly similar has happened to her before And it's a way to talk to grown people I don't care who they are
Yes. I think it’s personal for her as well.
She understands how much of a responsibility Mr Denzel Washington has because a similar thing happens to her daily.
I'm thinking she understands how deeply effected black men have been by racism and images of a black respected man being reduced back to 3/5 human by a white woman tears, is very emotional.
No way she would've done that to Scorsese or Spielberg.
This just seem to be white privileged to me, and I personally don’t have time for that, and yes, that had all the racial under tone to it, and she lucky he didn’t put out of that episode, in any other job, she would have been fired. She have should have been more respectful.
Garcielle is right, “… some stories need to die with you.” It is a respect thing. 👿
My issue is the racial undertones. The fact that she wanted Denzel betrayed as the aggressor, and that is often an issue black people have to experience when being assertive.
The women look amazing and the content is really on point this season!
I'm thinking it's what he represents and how much he's respected in the African American Culture (and even generally) I'm thinking people wudda been upset if it was Tom Hanks she spoke that way to as well. In my opinion.
the way everyone is treating the situation is because he’s black and honestly i don’t understand why it became a race issue because anyone can be called a “mf” not just black people in a derogatory way
Likely they would've
But the thing is... would she have spoken to Hanks like that?
And flip it... would a black actress ... say Kerry Washington while on Scandal.... be able to get away with speaking to a director like that... with no consequences?
Mo'Nique... who's still funny... ain't been back in a movie since Lee Daniels labeled her "difficult"
It's a respect thing... and like Loni said... race impacts this. I don't think she intended it racially but I do think whether she's aware of it or not... race impacted how she reacted to being corrected
@@meyahpatterson she's a white woman. Never won movie awards. Who in the moment chose to use derogatory language towards a black man. That's never cool.
Then in her retelling she's equating them as actors when he was there as her director (so... it was his set that day) & laughing about her disrespect. By the time he directed that movie Denzel had produced & directed (& in some cases at least partially funded) multiple award winning movies & a award winning play. So her comment "he's never directed television he doesn't know what he's doing"... no ma'am. You do not realize how offensive you were being in the moment... nor in hindsight. She chose to tell the story because it was Denzel... but she was ignorant of the privilege she displayed... both in the moment & in the retelling. I hope she & you chose to learn... to be more aware.
@@miwawilliams1339 i don’t need to learn a thing, i’m good! and i didn’t listen to a podcast or anything so i didn’t know she laughed or anything when retelling the story but even with all that you just said saying the word “mf” is not about race just because she said it do a black man, cus she could have easily said it to a white one. regardless of what awards she did and didn’t win…& no matter how bad you all want it to be about race, not everything goes into being black or white…i understand how the world is and i understand a lot of things are racially motivated BUT not every person on earth who has a argument or altercation wit a person of the opposite race is racially prevoked.
@@miwawilliams1339 the “he’s never directed anything” is disrespectful and i’m not saying she wasn’t disrespectful to him…i’m saying i don’t think it had anything to do with his race because she could’ve just as easily said it to a white man
Tell the truth Loni and Garcelle, we love Denzel!
I agree with Loni 100%%%% she called him out of his name ! Loni is right 100% but loni when u started to cry I giggled just a bit 😆
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
LONI WAS RIGHT ON POINT WITH THE POITN SHE MADE ABOUT WHITE WOMEN FEELING ENTITLED TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE RACE YOU ARE MARRIED TO!!
bro the real has gotten so much better ughhh I love this new season
Oh Denzel! He represents our culture indeed! Excellence personified.
No one needed to know this. She was being extra for no reason.
If you listen to the podcast, she started using a blaccent when she started telling the story. She may not intentionally mean for it to be about race, but the lack of respect was in my opinion.
This is ALL a matter of RESPECT!!!!!!!!! Regardless of who it was and how long she's been working on the show, that's not how you speak to someone. Especially when it was his job to direct. Give him his professional respect and then maybe later you can privately discuss your differences. And I don't think she would've done it to a big name white male director. If she did say anything, she would've changed her tone, language and attitude. It was just plain old disrespectful. Just say I'm sorry. I made a mistake and keep it moving. Don't make excuses. That only makes it worst. Because it's so much easier to forgive someone who acknowledges their mistakes. Since none of us are perfect.
She (Ellen) made reference to Grey's Anatomy being "her" show....ummm no, its SHONDA's show! And then she calls Mrs. Washington to complain about Denzel??...ole girl was way out of line in so many ways. I've actually been around her and her husband a couple of times and let's just say it's pretty obvious who's wearing the pants in that situation.
She didn’t call Mrs. Washington. Mrs. Washington came to the set because she’s a big fan of the show and she spoke to Ellen. That’s when Ellen told her what happened. Also every lead actor refers to the show they star on as their show. I’ve heard black and white actors do that.
Ellen Pompeo deserves every bit of Backlash she has received, she behaved as a Karen and bragged about it, she would have not spoken to any white director that way PERIOD, RACE WAS A FACTOR LETS BE HONEST‼️ I honestly wished everyone would have allowed Loni to finish what she had to say they kept interrupting💯
I don't understand what Ellen Pompeo was hoping to get by telling this ridiculous story of unconscious bias?
Loni was touched by the disrespect. Denzel is off limits guys. You can have all those others but not our Denzel.
Great discussion! And Loni looks fantastic in the orange top and wide leg jeans
That expression by Jeannie after Loni's speech needs to be a meme..Lol I love Jeannie..The Ladies of The Real..So real and so genuine
Dear Adrianne please try to let your colleagues speak please you always talk and not letting them finish their part, is very annoying you have to check all your shows after and see all your mistakes and being more considered please... Please don't take it as attack towards you please sister try to let them talk special went you are asking about something let them answer before you conclude please 😌 something I just feel like on subscrib the real and just stay because of the other ladies am so so distracted the way she always overtalking the have say it before look others shows
Thank you Loni for keeping it 💯
Amen to what Loni said agreed! Love me some Denzel!
I think she thought that she would come out looking great because she stood up to this male director and in fact it was the opposite because of the way and what she said. It is her story to tell but she didn't have to say his name. I would hope she doesn't talk to her husband that way.
Thank YOU LONNIE FOR SAYING THAT!!!! Mann I have been saying that for you yearssss!!!
Just because you lay down with a black man does not give you a pass to disrespect our people.
I think ellen just didn't respect Denzel witch is very sad cause he seems like a genuinely nice person who commands respect. He also seems very proffesional and probably didn't really know how important she thought she was so she snapped but thats a hell no from me . Denzel is hollywood royalty 👑
Thank you Loni! I wholeheartedly agree with your comments.
Miss Pompeo was DISRESPECTFUL to OSCAR Winner Mr. Denzel Washington. Who does she think she is??? Would she treat Steven Spielberg that way???
Let's not forget she also went to his wife AFTER and continued the issue saying "I'm not talking to him, I'm not looking at him". The entitlement of it all 🙄
I really hope people aren’t tryna make this about race DENZEL is the LAST PERSON y’all would wanna try that angle with 💀💀
@New York New York meaning Denzel shuts all that victim mentality down he almost gets pissed lol
@@zpt7093 just like the characters he plays. sees right through bullshit
I hate how it always gotta be a about race.. why are they calling it out as a white woman should not call a black man a mf.. how about dont call anyone that
So it's like if he wasn't black u can do it?... or if u both black then it's fine? Like am pretty sure she called many different people that regardless of their race
Like we don't always gotta talk about how a white woman treats u as a black man.. let's talk about the lack of respect and leave out the racial victim mentality
Putting racial stigma on everything downgrades actual racial issues
@@zpt7093 let's just be real peeps. Just because someone doesn't like to talk about it doesn't mean they haven't experienced some stuff. 🤣😅
Either way homegirl was entitled and out of line. Who cusses out their manager?
She should’ve kept that story to herself TBH 😭
Who???🤔
Jeannie that turn tho I can’t!!!!!!!! I’m dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why would you tell anyone that? 🤷🏽♀️
I totally agree with Loni here!
I wonder what she thought would happen that’s why celebrities need to stop telling everything. How she feel entitled when you know for one show. Almost everyone that’s been fired was cause of her
Thank you, Gracelle!! You shouldn't talk to ANYONE the way she chose to talk to Denzel or the other actor in the scene. I have a real issue with her a.) calling Denzel out of his name and b.) yelling at/giving another actor direction. So disrespectful. I don't think she saw her and the other actor as being on the same level which is why she felt comfortable enough to berate him. It was all ego and superiority.
There's something about Ellen Pompeo that rubs me the wrong way. I remember reading an article where Isaiah Washington talked about auditioning for the role of her love interest, McDreamy. Apparently, Shonda Rimes had originally wanted to cast a black man in that role but Ellen (who had a black boyfriend) said she "didn't want him" and that it was "too close to home" and she wanted Patrick Dempsey in the role?
