Ellen DeGeneres' Former Bodyguard Breaks Silence With Shocking Allegations

Ellen DeGeneres’ old bodyguard has come forward with damaging claims against the star.

Tom Majercak, who was hired in 2014 to protect DeGeneres and her loved ones at the Oscars, is breaking his silence on the TV host’s “demeaning” treatment of those in her inner circle. In a recent interview with Fox News, Majercak recalls providing protection for the 62-year-old, her mother Betty, and wife Portia de Rossi the year DeGeneres was hosting the ceremony.

Although he’s “been assigned to quite a few celebrities” over the years, Majercak said DeGeneres was the one star he’s worked with who has “never taken the time to say hi to me.” Majercak fondly remembered Rossi being “very pleasant,” but claimed “Ellen pretty much just gave me a side glance out of her eye and didn’t even say ‘hello,’ or ‘thank you for protecting my mother, my wife, and me.’”

“It was very cold and it was very sly and it was actually kind of demeaning in the way that she treats people other than those who are in her circle,” he added, alleging that celebrities had to be pre-approved to even come by her table during an Oscars after party.

“It’s bugged me for years,” Majercak said. “I see this person come across as being very enlightened and positive and awesome and everybody loves her and is in awe, and that’s really not the case when you meet her in person.”

Majercak’s account is the latest in a steady emergence of unflattering stories about DeGeneres — including a Twitter thread detailing (albeit unverified) negative experiences former staff have had with her. Famous beauty guru NikkieTutorials echoed the same, recalling DeGeneres as being "cold" and "distant" when she appeared on the show in January.

What's more, back in April, union employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show were outraged after reportedly being left in the dark regarding compensation when the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic forced the show to go on an indefinite hiatus.
