Emily Ratajkowski slams ‘f–ked up’ Ellen DeGeneres, Taylor Swift interview

Now they’ve got bad blood.

Emily Ratajkowski is slamming Ellen DeGeneres for a resurfaced interview with Taylor Swift that has recently gone viral on TikTok.

“This is so f–ked up,” the supermodel, 31, wrote in response to a clip of Swift appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2012.

“She’s literally begging her to stop.”

The clip featured a visibly uncomfortable Swift, now 33, sitting on a chair across DeGeneres as images of famous men – like Taylor Lautner, Justin Bieber, Joe Jonas and Justin Timberlake – flashed on the screen behind them.

DeGeneres, now 64, asked Swift to “ring a bell” every time the singer came across a pic of one of the men she dated.

Swift pleaded with DeGeneres to stop, telling the now-embattled TV host that she wanted to keep “the one shred of dignity that I have.”

“I don’t want to [do it]. They’ll send me angry emails, and I don’t want to get them,” the “Midnights” singer stated.

“Stop it, stop it, stop! This makes me feel so bad about myself,” she continued. “Every time I come up here, you put a different dude up there on the screen, and it just makes me really question what I stand for as a human being.”

Page Six has reached out to DeGeneres’ rep for comment.

Years later, Swift spoke to Apple Beats’ Zane Lowe about interviewers reducing her to the men she had dated in the early days of her career.

Although she didn’t mention DeGeneres by name at the time, fans argued that she was clearly referencing the uncomfortable 2012 interview.

“When I was like 23, people were just kind of reducing me to — kind of making slideshows of my dating life and putting people in there that I’d sat next to at a party once and deciding that my songwriting was like a trick rather than a skill and a craft,” she told Lowe.

“It’s a way to take a woman who is doing her job and succeeding at doing her job and making things, and it’s, in a way, it’s figuring out how to completely minimize that skill.”

Ratajkowski wasn’t the only person to call DeGeneres out in the comments section of the TikTok video, which also featured a clip from Swift’s interview with Lowe.

“Unbelievable,” influencer Tinx wrote, while another user chimed in, “You can literally hear in her voice how upset she is.”

A third wrote, “She’s clearly visibly upset, but having to, like, ‘perform’ that she’s laughing it off because an audience of people is laughing at her.”

DeGeneres, who apologized for cultivating a “toxic” workplace in 2020, ended her long-running show in May 2022 after 19 seasons.
