Over the past few weeks, Ellen DeGeneres has been accused by dozens of current and former employees of turning a blind eye to racism, intimidation, and sexual misconduct on the set of her talk show. Now, things have gotten even worse for her, as the singer Mariah Carey is opening up about the “extremely uncomfortable” interview that she had with DeGeneres in 2008.

During the interview, DeGeneres revealed that Carey was pregnant without the singer’s permission. She did so by pressuring her to drink champagne, and when she refused, DeGeneres announced that Carey was pregnant.

“I was extremely uncomfortable with that moment is all I can say. And I really have had a hard time grappling with the aftermath,” Carey told Vulture. “I wasn’t ready to tell anyone because I had had a miscarriage.”

Carey went on to say that DeGeneres could have been more sensitive or empathetic about why she wanted to delay announcing her pregnancy.

“I don’t want to throw anyone that’s already being thrown under any proverbial bus, but I didn’t enjoy that moment,” Carey said, adding that there’s “an empathy that can be applied to those moments that I would have liked to have been implemented. But what am I supposed to do?”

A short time after this interview, Carey suffered a miscarriage. She later had twins Morrocan and Monroe, who are now nine years-old, with her ex-husband Nick Cannon.

This is just one of many allegations of DeGeneres’ negative behavior on the set of her show. Last month, she issued an apology as more claims against her came to light.

“As we’ve grown exponentially, I’ve not been able to stay on top of everything and relied on others to do their jobs as they knew I’d want them done,” DeGeneres said, according to Page Six. “Clearly some didn’t. That will now change and I’m committed to ensuring this does not happen again.”

This comes one month after a producer on Australia’s “Today” show spoke out to reveal the alleged bizarre demands DeGeneres had while appearing on the show.

“She’ll come in, she’ll sit down, she’ll talk to Richard and then Ellen will leave,’” Neil Breen remembered her staff telling him. “And I sort of said, ‘I can’t look at her?’ I found the whole thing bizarre.”
