It’s been more than 11 years since Ellen DeGeneres sent this disturbing tweet:
I made one of my employees cry like a baby on today’s show. Honestly, it felt good.
— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) June 5, 2009
But as we’ve learned, it’s never too late to cancel someone (unless they’re Bill Clinton, maybe). That’s why yesterday, BuzzFeed’s Krystie Lee Yandoli took it upon herself to seek out the employee Ellen was so happy to have brought to tears:
if you are this employee, please reach out to me! [email protected] pic.twitter.com/QaVGBCp5RM

Can’t let Ellen get away with this!
That she tweeted that was probably a time she did something nice for someone. You could probably go through old shows to find this pretty easily.

Turns out Krystie should’ve gone through old shows:
Update: This tweet was about an Ellen employee named Jeannie Klisiewicz who cried "tears of joy" after getting hired to work on the show https://t.co/AK5q4rU4wk

Oops?

Desperate for a story, huh?

Maybe just a little. Looks like someone really wanted to take a ride on the Cancel Ellen train.
She gave a gift to the employee .. WTF is this

That’s about par for the buzzfeed course

Yep. Though at least she posted an update. Suppose that’s something, huh?
Hey, at least there was an update. Slightly better than I expected from Buzzfeed tbh.

Still, though:
