Ellen DeGeneres has been facing backlash for being “kicked out of Hollywood” a few years ago, and now she’s facing even more after sharing a video of her and none other than Kris Jenner.

In honor of the reality star’s 70th birthday, the comedian shared an old video of her pranking Kris while she slept on her couch. The viral video contained clips of Ellen signing, and while in the moment, the two famous friends had a good laugh, the internet deemed the resurfaced video “creepy” and bashed the show host online.

Ellen Posts An Old Video Of Her Pranking Kris Jenner For Her 70th Birthday

The infamous ‘momager’ recently made headlines after celebrating her 70th birthday during a star-studded birthday party. Not only did numerous big celebrities attend her party, but they also gave her birthday shoutouts on social media.

One of those stars was former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who has been living in England over the last year since leaving the United States with her wife, Portia de Rossi. The Ellen DeGeneres Show star decided to give her friend Kris a birthday tribute on Instagram, and it was in the form of sharing an old video of them.

In the video, Kris can be seen fast asleep on a living room couch as Ellen sings along to the popular song “Leave The Door Open” in her ear until she wakes up in shock.

“Happy birthday, Kris,” Ellen captioned her post. “I wish I could wake you up like this every day.”

Social Media Users Slam Ellen's Birthday Tribute To Kris

Although the two television personalities had a big laugh in the video, and it gained a lot of attention on social media, not all of the comments were the nicest.

 

Ellen's career took a turn in 2021 and 2022, when her record-breaking talk show was canceled after there were allegations and reports of a toxic workplace environment. Since then, many social media users have been extra critical of her, and it showed in the comments under her post for Kris.

 

"This is genuinely the scariest video I've seen in quite some time," commented an Instagram user.

 

"Am I the only one who finds this creepy?" asked another, as one user wrote, "genuinely the scariest video I've seen."

 

"This is like, straight out of my nightmares," commented a user.
