Ellen Uses Show to Call Out "Haters" Who Want Her Fired (MUST SEE VIDEO)

[William769]

In a sometimes humorous and always pointed monologue, Ellen DeGeneres responded on her show to the group that wants her fired as JC Penney's spokesperson because she's gay.

"Normally I try not to pay attention to my haters," she said, "but this time I'd like to talk about it because my haters are my motivators."

A group that calls itself One Million Moms had called on the department store chain to fire DeGeneres because of the message having a lesbian spokesperson would send.

"Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families," its Facebook page read. "More sales will be lost than gained unless they replace their spokesperson quickly."

1. I have a traditional family.

Okay, one of my kids is bi. So what? We are still a traditional family. But who cares? Don't non-traditional families wear clothing and use the products available at Penneys?

I don't shop there all the time. Now, I will shop there more. They are doing away with all those silly sales and lowering their prices permanently. They are standing up to Ellen's haters. I like them better than ever. They will be my first stop a the mall now.
