Ellen DeGeneres made a joke about the quarantine that didn't land well, and the internet let her know immediately.
"One thing that I've learned from being in quarantine is that people- this is like being in jail, is what it is," she said."It's mostly because I've been wearing the same clothes for 10 days and everyone in here is gay. The jokes that I have. I feel bad for the kids at home, all the college students, all the parents. I feel bad for a lot of people. But I think that a lot of people out there need words of encouragement, and that's what I want to do.
While the online responses to her comments appear to be positive, shade and sarcasm are what she received from some viewers. 'This is like being in jail'......how full of yourself do you have to be to think sitting on your arse in your mansion is somehow anything like jail?" one person asked on YouTube "I think someone needs a bloody reality check.""She's in fabulous jail," another YouTube user wrote."Where she wakes up to a freshly made latte, sits in her beautiful sunroom and cries about not being able to leave.
