Ellen Pompeo tells a young fan to stop complaining and to start studying!

[big_ang]

Don’t complain.. especially to me… I’m sure girls in Afghanistan or other places in the world love to do anything to be able to just study https://t.co/7x7x6lcRiz

Some of her fans thought she was mean and she replied with:

Its really so strange that some people believe they know my tone? label it as

Why did she tweet and ask Ellen that in the first place tho

[theactualworst]

This is my question lol.

[shittysoup]

[ljtryout]

Exactly. At least she got that.

seriously, it's weird. I see youths doing that a lot to celebs nowadays

[scaredsquee]

my favorite was someone asking dionne warwick if “auntie can you buy me these shoes” and dionne was like “baby you didn’t buy me anything” or something like that lmaooooooo i hate these fucking grifters

[colorfilm]

reminds me of drag race fans who tweet hateful shit about a queen and tag said queen and when the queen replies/drags them theyre like, « omgggg lololol i was joking, yas queen drag me » its the worst

[tipping4_2]

right

i imagine zoomers do this a lot, EP is prob just brazen enough to tweet back her annoyance with it

like i’m not really team anyone, it’s not a pleasant reply sure but like why did you @ this complete stranger about your school load in the first place

Kids who grew up with easy access to celebs via the Internet have a sort of warped perception of where these famous strangers fit in to their lives. When the news broke about the MSI frontman, Jimmy Urine, being sued for being a creepy rapist asshole, I saw some kids on Reddit freaking out about how it couldn't be true or they were heartbroken because "Jimmy mentally raised me!" Like...I'm sorry, what?

[jinjjaaa]

seriously! it's not Ellen's job to motivate you, lazy teenager

Same, I was having a real I’m too old for this shit moment when I read that
