[NSFW if you mis-pronounce] Does Ms. Titi Pierce have a case against Ellen DeGeneres?
)
June 9th, 2016
On Ellen’s talk show, she makes fun of various names and signs that evoke laughs because they’re unusual or slightly riaquee, or just plain funny. Johnny Carson used to do the same thing on the Tonight Show 30+ years ago.
Apparently Ms. Titi Pierce (pronounced tee-tee) was the subject of such a conversation on Ellen’s show in February, and replayed a month ago.
Ellen mispronounced (deliberately) her name as “titty pierce”.
Now, anyone can sue anyone else for anything – it’s the American way. Does Ms. Pierce have a case? Is this being way overblown? Is Ms. Pierce hurting herself by this lawsuit, thereby making millions more people aware of it? Or is this a publicity stunt?
Would you have sued?
