Ellen DeGeneres Called out Again on Anniversary of Tense Dakota Johnson Interview

Friday marked the first anniversary of a tense moment that Dakota Johnson and Ellen DeGeneres shared on her talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Since the tense exchange clip went viral, it’s no surprise to see that it recently resurfaced on this one-year milestone. Unsurprisingly, the two celebrities’ exchange still has plenty of people talking.

In case you missed it, on Nov. 27, 2019, an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show aired with Johnson as one of the guests. During her appearance on the show, the two discussed the actor’s recent birthday party, which DeGeneres claimed she was not invited to. Johnson then replied, “Actually, no, that’s not the truth, Ellen. You were invited.” The Fifty Shades of Grey star continued to say that the last time she went on the show, DeGeneres gave her a hard time over not inviting her to her birthday party, so she made sure that she wouldn’t make the same mistake again. She added that she definitely invited her to her 2019 birthday bash, but that the talk show host didn’t come for some reason. DeGeneres doubted Johnson’s claims, but the actor said to “ask everybody” about the fact that she did invite her. They then asked one of the show’s producers, Jonathan [Norman] (who has since been fired after toxic workplace allegations emerged) and he confirmed that the host was invited, putting an end to the tense segment.

Fans relived the moment all over again in honor of the one-year anniversary of the segment. Check out what Twitter users are saying about the now-iconic exchange.
