Kevin Porter Asks Twitter To Roast Ellen Degeneres And Donates Charity In Return

Celebs are doing all sorts of great things to raise money for Coronavirus relief these days. Whether it's donating to local food banks or providing medical supplies to hospitals, times like this show just how much good you can do with a big following. Kevin Porter decided to jump on the bandwagon, but his method was rather... unique. His tweet requested people to provide insane stories about Ellen Degeneres being mean, promising to match each one with a $2 donation to @LAFoodBank. Here's what happened...

    The stories came in thick and fast

    Danielle Acevedo @daniianita96 Replying to @KevinTPorter and @LAFoodBank When I was 15 @TheEllenShow was doing a contest of fans making a bust of her and sending it to her. I worked so hard on this and even wrote her a letter. Weeks later she used it as a prop in a game and gave it away to a random person with $500 attached to the bottom.

    Each one shining a not-so-kind spotlight on Ellen

    Text - Chris Farah @ChrisLFarah Replying to @KevinTPorter and @LAFoodBank I worked @RealFoodDaily, served her & Porsha at brunch. She wrote a letter to the owner & complained about my chipped nail polish (not that it was on her plate but just that it was on my hand). I had worked till closing the night before & this was next morn, almost got me fired.

    Text - Aurora of the North @jocastarora · Mar 21 Replying to @KevinTPorter and @LAFoodBank A friend went to the same frou-frou gym as Ellen and Portia for a few months and said Ellen was an absolutely ridiculous entitled spoiled horrorshow who treated staff like shit and constantly yelled at Portia during every workout

    At first the stories seemed real, but then people started submitting some ridiculous claims

    And this one

    Text - professora poopypantalones @changryazn Replying to @KevinTPorter and @LAFoodBank One time I saw her at a restaurant in LA, the waiter was serving the table next to her, he bumped into her by accident when putting down their food and she stood up and pushed his head into the bowl of hot soup he had just put down on the table. 2nd degree burns

    Others didn't and called Kevin Porter out on spreading slander

    Text - PSB @twit_psb Replying to @KevinTPorter and @LAFoodBank As much as I like gossip this thread is ridiculous. Please don't encourage slander even for a good cause.

    Some of her fans weren't happy with Kevin at all, arguing that this is a time to be united

    Text - Ellen World Wwild @EllenD_world Replying to @KevinTPorter and @LAFoodBank 1. We don't care "if" she is mean in real life or "if" she is pretending kindness, this woman has done more than you and your followers did for this world and humanity, THIS IS THE TIME to be united. We all need to stick together as One Human Race.

    And berating him for this bad energy

    Text - Ella Neumayer @EllaNeumayer Replying to @KevinTPorter and @LAFoodBank Kevin, this bad energy of yours during this time. Why would you do this? Besides @TheEllenShow does a lot of good and she cares. She probably helped more than you would ever. Turn to less fortunate ppl that she helped and ask them for their stories. The mean one is you.

    Some even jumped to Ellen's defense, telling stories of her kindness

    Text - Ever Carradine @EverCarradine Replying to @KevinTPorter and @LAFoodBank We have known Portia & Ellen for years. Want a story? She moved mountains so my husband @cobybrownmusic could preform on her show before his cancer treatment. Why don't we flip this thing around and reply with a moment of joy you've felt because Ellen is in this world. #BeKind

    Humor is a difficult balance to strike in these turbulent times, but one thing is for sure... Kevin is right about being truly kind to the most vulnerable right now

    Text - Kevin T. Porter @KevinTPorter If you can, please give to your local food banks because they are slammed right now. And yeah honestly, be kind, especially to those in the most vulnerable positions right now. But be TRULY kind. Don't settle for a cheap imitation.
