Why is Ellen DeGeneres’ interview with Dakota Johnson trending on Twitter?
With the announcement that the Ellen DeGeneres Show will go off the air in 2022, fans are remembering some memorable moments over the years.
Speaking with Dakota Johnson in 2019, Ellen confronted the Fifty Shades star about not being invited to her birthday party.
However, the actress responded by saying that Ellen had been invited – and she’d actually blown her off.
“How was the party? I wasn’t invited,” Ellen quipped.
“Actually, no, that’s not the truth, Ellen,” Dakota then announced to the audience’s delight.

The actress said she invited the host after she gave her a hard time about not being invited the previous year.
“Last time I was on the show, last year, you gave me a bunch of s**t about not inviting you, but I didn’t even know you wanted to be invited,” she said.
For once, Ellen appeared to be lost for words on her own show: “Well, who wouldn’t want to be invited to a party?” she asked.
“Well, I didn’t even know you liked me,” Johnson replied, to the presenter’s horror.
“Of course I like you. You knew I liked you,” Ellen then said, before an incredibly awkward silence.
There have been allegations of a toxic workplace[/caption]
What are fans saying about the Dakota Johnson interview?
Many social media users brought up the Dakota Johnson interview after Ellen’s declaration in May of 2021 that her talk show was winding down.
It’s been a rough time for the talk show host – on the air since 2003, Ellen has seen her ratings plummet amid allegations of running a toxic workplace.
“Dakota Johnson has done more for society by ending Ellen DeGeneres than most of your faves have in their careers and it shows,” one person wrote on Twitter.
Another person wrote: “It will NEVER not be funny to me that Ellen’s public downfall started when she lied about not being invited to Dakota Johnson’s party, when in reality she couldn’t come because she was at a football game with her good friend George W Bush.”
DeGeneres had been pictured sitting next to former president George W Bush during an NFL game in Texas.
