The life of a talk show host is forever fraught with the danger that the conversation might take a turn for the awkward while a huge number of people are watching.<\/p>\n

One of the all time hall of fame awkward moments<\/a> has got to be the time Ellen DeGeneres<\/a> called out Dakota Johnson for not giving her a birthday party invite, only to be told she had been invited and didn’t show up.<\/p>\n

Johnson had been on Ellen<\/a> several times before and making another appearance in 2019 to promote her film The Peanut Butter Falcon, but nobody remembers that bit because of what happened next.<\/p>\n

DeGeneres wished Johnson a ‘happy belated birthday’ and asked her ‘how was the party, I wasn’t invited’, only to get called out by the movie star with the cameras trained on them.<\/p>\n

“Actually no, that’s not the truth Ellen, you were invited,” Johnson said as she set the record straight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Last 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.”<\/p>\n

Ellen asked back ‘who doesn’t want to be invited to a party’, with Johnson replying that she ‘didn’t even know you liked me’ and the talk show host insisting she did like her.<\/p>\n

“But I did invite you and you didn’t come, so…” Johnson said, with Ellen asking her ‘are you sure’ and the actor being very certain she’d invited DeGeneres to her birthday party.<\/p>\n

“Ask everybody, ask Jonathan your producer.”<\/p>\n

It turned out that Ellen had been invited to the party after all and a member of her team explained she couldn’t make it because ‘you were out of town’, with the host quipping ‘oh yeah, I had that thing’.<\/p>\n

The moment between Ellen DeGeneres and Dakota Johnson happened back in 2019 (YouTube\/The Ellen Show)<\/p><\/div>\n

Body language expert Blanca Cobb claimed that DeGeneres had been feeling uneasy<\/a> in the exchange and said she could have been ‘self soothing’ to reassure herself during the encounter.<\/p>\n

The expert said that Ellen seemed ‘surprised’ that the conversation had taken such a turn, while Johnson had been ‘sincere, candid, and forward in the encounter.<\/p>\n

The awkward moment is one of the first things people remember about Ellen, with the show ending in 2022 a couple of years after it was hit with claims of being a toxic workplace as former employees claimed to<\/a> Buzzfeed that it was ‘dominated by fear’.<\/p>\n

In an email to staff Ellen said that action would be taken to ‘correct the issues’, while in a statement WarnerMedia said ‘the primary findings of the investigation indicated some deficiencies related to the show’s day-to-day management’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
