Two comedians having fun with each other to entertain. I was never a victim guys, I was always in on the joke. https://t.co/mjUjPNRHlb

we need an ellen apology tour round up.

That's nice. But as per usual if someone hasn't been racist/sexist/homophobic/plain horrific to one person doesn't mean they aren't to the others. You're basically invalidating others who do feel like they have been demeaned or hurt by someone.

[lloyd_llewellyn]

That’s not what she’s saying at all. She’s responding directly to people saying she had been bullied by Ellen during her appearance.

[triviagogo29]

People were saying Ellen was an asshole to make fun of someone’s accent

That’s true regardless of how Sofia felt about the joke. That’s irrelevant. For someone with a huge platform to make a foreign accent the butt of a joke is worth of criticism.

[lloyd_llewellyn]

Again, Sofia’s experience is not invalidating anyone else’s. She says she was in on the joke. No one has the right to police her about that.

[genbu_no_miko24]

She def played up to the funny foreigner act. I remember a few latin radio station critiquing her on it a few years back.

[ohmylol]

definitely, she didn't talk like that, her accent is thick as almost all latin-americans who speak english but not as exaggerated.

[evett]

idk about exaggerating her accent but both in late night/daytime interviews and modern family shes always yelling so hearing her speak at a normal level in the movie Chef was shocking

[callonme_84]

NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT, SOFIA! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Like what is so hard to comprehend.

[lloyd_llewellyn]

It literally says in the post that people are sharing a video from her appearance on Ellen to say that she had been bullied.

[callonme_84]

Yeah i read it too fast and didn’t realize. Ops!

Disregard. I apologize Sofia.

[drbat]

People were talking about it.
