“Off the Vine” podcast last month. “Did you ever meet Ellen DeGeneres? Was she nice or no?” Bristowe, 39, asked, to which Fedotowsky, 40, responded, “She made me feel pretty not great.”Elaborating on her encounter with DeGeneres, the mom-of-two clarified, “It’s not that she was mean, per se, she just made me feel stupid.”Fedotowsky recalled her appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” which started shaky before the interview began.“I was so excited to be on the show.

I don’t think she’s a bad person, I just think that sometimes when you do a job like that all day every single day for years, you’re just kind of over it.

One, she’s talking to people who are crafted,” the reality star explained.Noting her position on the talk show was that of a young girl in her 20s, Fedotowsky continued, “Here I am, this 24-year-old, famous for no reason, [I come] on her show, she’s probably like, I’ve got to talk to one of these idiots again.“I went on the show and I was dancing, you know how everyone comes out dancing?

I was trying to be funny and personable. Instead of laughing with me, she was laughing at me. You know what I mean? So, I felt really stupid.”Despite Fedotowsky not revealing which episode she’s referring to, clips have resurfaced online.One video, in particular, is from a 2010 interview and includes a portion where DeGeneres jokingly asks the ABC vet if she’s “drunk” during their chat.The comedian hosted “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” for 19 seasons, from 2003 to 2023.
