Ellen DeGeneres Haircut Video With Her Mom Sparks Outrage

Ellen DeGeneres’ move to cut her mom's hair on the latter's birthday sparked outrage online.

Last week, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” host shared a video on Instagram of her cutting her mother Betty’s hair on the latter’s birthday. However, many were not pleased after watching it because for them, Betty wasn’t happy with her new hair after the comedian cut it shorter than what she wanted.

DeGeneres asked her mom if she liked it when her mother was about to check herself in the mirror. Betty said, “No, not yet but when I wash it ...” She then added, “Oh! you really cut it short.”

Several netizens reacted to the video and slammed the TV personality.

“I’m sorry I don’t see the humor in it. Pretty sure after 90 yrs she knows how [her hair should look] and you shaved it off,” one commented.

“Agreed I think this was incredibly rude and selfish her mom doesn't like the hair and Ellen does not appear to care,” another online user wrote.

“Omg! I hope my daughter doesn’t give me a present like that!!” a different netizen wrote with laughing emoji, suggesting that she didn’t approve of Ellen’s work.

“Ummmmm Ellen noooo why you do your mama like that. Her hair was beautiful before the cut,” __jadeiman added.

Nevertheless, several fans still voiced their support toward DeGeneres. According to them, Betty looked younger with her shorter hair. Some also reminded the host that her mom still loves her even if she disapproved of the short haircut.

“Omg!!!no but hey it's only hair and she loves you,” one wrote.

“She looks so hip! Love it!” a different user commented.

“She looks sooo good with it shorter! Really young and fresh!” another wrote.
