NikkieTutorials Said She Had A Less-Than-Kind Experience With Ellen DeGeneres When She Was On The Show About Her Coming-Out
“It’s really nice that you came over and said hello to me… She didn’t.”
Beauty YouTuber NikkieTutorials appeared on a talk show last month in the Netherlands called De Wereld Draait Door and revealed some behind-the-scenes information about her experience with Ellen DeGeneres.
The star appeared on DeGeneres’s talk show earlier this year to talk about her celebrated coming-out video. The ~tea~ is now being heavily discussed in English-speaking online forums and channels.

The Dutch vlogger, whose real name is Nikkie de Jager, seemed to hint to host Matthijs van Nieuwkerk that DeGeneres was not as nice as she hoped she would be.
When van Nieuwkerk asked what it was like for her on the show, de Jager hesitantly said, “It’s really nice that you came over and said hello to me… She didn’t.”

And when the Dutch interviewer pressed her more about it, she said the show felt like “a whole different world.”
“What I’ve experienced here and in other countries [is] that it’s really a whole different world. It’s more distant,” she said.
She added that it was nonetheless a “huge honor” to be given a stage as big as The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
In
January, de Jager was invited on the show after her YouTube video about
coming out as transgender went hugely viral. She revealed that she was
blackmailed by someone who threatened to publicly out her.
However, de Jager told DeGeneres then that she was ultimately grateful to have come out because it was so warmly and widely received by her fans.
She also thanked her immensely for giving her an additional platform to talk about being trans.
“Thank you for letting me be here because if there’s one person to get this message across globally — and you like no other know what it’s like to come out — just thank you for this honor,” she told DeGeneres at the end of her interview.
Her Dutch interview happened weeks ago, but it has now made its way to Reddit threads and YouTube controversy/discussion pages.
It’s only fueled chatter about the beloved American TV host. Tabloids have reported that her smiley persona onscreen is not one she maintains off the air. There are also reports that she mistreats her staff members.
De Jager’s fans who watched the newest interview say they’re inclined to believe the YouTuber.
“You can tell in the interview that she was so dissapointed [sic] about Ellen, like it breaks my heart,” a YouTube commenter wrote.
“I believe her. Ellen just seems odd to me, in a way I can’t quite explain. Her TV persona seems very…fabricated,” another added.
BuzzFeed News has reached out to de Jager. BuzzFeed News has also reached out to DeGeneres’s reps for comment.

NikkieTutorials Comes Out~When Should You Tell Your Significant Other About Your True Gender?
Ellen DeGeneres Opens Up About Being Sexually Assaulted as a Teenager
Article via CheatSheet
Ellen DeGeneres has been on our television screens for almost two decades. She’s always been very open with her viewers about the things that she has gone through. So much so, that you may have thought that you knew everything there was to know about DeGeneres.
But on season two of Netflix’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, DeGeneres opened up about a very intimate topic. Her sexual assault.
What happened to DeGeneres?
On the show, DeGeneres talked about a man that her mother, Betty, married. Soon after the wedding, Betty was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have one of her breasts removed.
“He told me when she was out of town that he’d felt a lump in her breast and needed to feel my breasts because he didn’t want to upset her, but he needed to feel mine,” DeGeneres said. “Again, ’cause I didn’t know about bodies, I don’t know that breasts are all different and… Anyway, he convinced me that he needs to feel my breasts and then he tries to do it again another time, and then another time.”
The situation escalated until DeGeneres felt that she needed to get out.
“He tries to break my door down, and I kicked the window out and ran ’cause I knew it was going to go more to something… and I didn’t want to tell my mother ’cause I was protecting her and I knew that would ruin her happiness.”
Though the incident was hard for DeGeneres to recount, she felt that it was important for her to do so.
“I’m angry at myself because, you know, I didn’t — I was too weak to stand up to — I was 15 or 16,” she told Letterman. “It’s a really horrible, horrible story and the only reason I’m actually going to go into detail about it is because I want other girls to not ever let someone do that.”
Does DeGeneres still talk to her mom?
DeGeneres did eventually tell her mother what happened. But by that time, Betty didn’t believe her.
“I should never have protected her,” DeGeneres said. “I should have protected myself and I didn’t tell her for a few years and then I told her. And then she didn’t believe me and then she stayed with him for 18 more years. And finally left him because he’d changed the story so many times.”
DeGeneres and her mother have a better relationship now, but she still wishes that her mom had done more for her when she was growing up.
“I always have taken care of her my whole life,” the comedian said of her mom. “So I just kept taking care of her. I didn’t really let it get to me. Until recently, I kind of went, ‘I wish I would have been better taken care of. I wish she would have believed me.’ And she’s apologetic, but, you know…”
Why is DeGeneres opening up now?
DeGeneres is sharing her story now in order to encourage girls who go through similar things to speak up.
“We [women] just don’t feel like we’re worthy, or we’re scared to have a voice, and we’re scared to say no,” she said. “That’s the only reason I think it’s important to talk about it because there’s so many young girls and it doesn’t matter how old you are. When I see people speaking out, especially now, it angers me when victims aren’t believed, because we just don’t make stuff up. And I like men, but there are so many men that get away with so much.”
Tennis’ Naomi Osaka Lands Date with Michael B. Jordan Thanks to Ellen DeGeneres’ Twitter Meddling
In September, Osaka — who won the U.S. Open over Serena Williams in a controversial face-off — admitted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she is smitten with the Black Panther star, 31.
DeGeneres, 60, kept that information tucked away, and on Tuesday, the talk show host tweeted a steamy picture of a shirtless Jordan to Osaka for her 21st birthday. She captioned it, “Happy birthday, @Naomi_Osaka_. I got you a present.”
Osaka was embarrassed. “pls block me,” she tweeted back with an anguished emoji.
But the teasing was far from over. Jordan jumped in on Wednesday, “This one is better and more recent. LOL,” alongside another picture of his impressive abs and arms. “Happy Belated Bday Naomi. But seriously I want to invite you to the Creed 2 premiere as a bday present.”
DeGeneres was pleased with her work. “You’re welcome, Naomi,” she quipped.
Osaka accepted the invitation — with a little hesitance. “LOL what is going on???” she replied. “Thanks for the bday wishes, If you’re serious I would totally want to go.”
