DEGENERES AND MIDLER … THEIR PANTIES ARE ON FIRE

Ellen DeGeneres' stepsister slams her claim she was sexually assaulted by her stepfather and accuses the comedienne of only making the 'pathetic' allegation to 'sell a TV show'

Ellen told David Letterman in his new Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, that when she was a teenager her stepfather, Roy Grussendorf, used her mother's breast cancer diagnosis as an excuse to grope Ellen's breasts on multiple occasions.

DeGeneres' stepsister Rori Rhodes, 70, tells DailyMailTV that Ellen 'can't prove' the allegations against her stepfather and has slammed the claim altogether.

'I don't know if it's true. I don't know if Daddy did that. But it's like, really? It's so sad that she's doing that,' she said.

'It's pathetic. The man has been dead forever. Why do they all think they have to bring up something horrible from their childhood? She can't prove that, my dad's not alive to prove it, and it's just not necessary.

'I don't know what happened, I would probably bet a lot of money that Daddy didn't do that. He might have been concerned about [Ellen's mother] Betty's breasts, and her breasts were turning black which they do, and wanting to know about that.

'But the bottom line is I wouldn't trust anything Ellen would say, ever. It's always been about Ellen. She doesn't care about anybody else, it's all about what she needs to do.'

'For her to bring up trash like this, like she is now, I don't understand that. To sell a book? To sell a TV show?' Rhodes said.

'It's a bunch of bullshit. I mean really? What is the purpose of doing all of this?,' she fumed. 'Are we talking about money here? Ellen has enough money, she doesn't have to do this.'

Trump brands Bette Midler a 'washed up psycho' after the actress shared a fake quote claiming the president said Republicans are the 'dumbest group of voters in the country'

Bette Midler, 73, tweeted a long-debunked meme which quoted Donald Trump bashing Republicans in the 1990s.

The meme first surfaced during the 2016 campaign, at which point Politifact determined that there is no record of the then-Democrat making such a comment.

Twitter users quickly informed Midler of her mistake, and she responded in a tweet dripping with sarcasm. 'I apologize; this quote turns out to be a fake from way back in '15-16,' she wrote. 'Don't know how I missed it, but it sounds SO much like him that I believed it was true!'

Trump fired back from London early Wednesday morning, calling the singer-songwriter a 'washed up psycho' and 'sick scammer '.
