Telling Fox News’ Laura Ingraham To Meet Her Outside & 9 Other Times Ellen Pompeo Was Savage AF On Twitter

Allison Crist

It’s safe to say Ellen Pompeo’s Twitter is tragically underrated. The Grey’s Anatomy star is hilarious, and she proved it yet again this weekend in a battle with Fox News commentator Laura Ingraham.

To catch you up to speed, the whole thing began when Ingraham criticized LeBron James for comments he made on an Uninterrupted special with Kevin Durant. Throughout the show, James discussed his family, President Donald Trump, being black in America, and other social issues. 

Ingraham felt the need to speak out about James’ commentary, and said a variety of offensive things when doing so:

“Must they run their mouths like that?”

“This is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the NBA.”

“…it’s always unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid a hundred million dollars a year to bounce a ball.”

Ingraham ended her hateful rant by telling James — and seemingly any other basketball player who wishes to speak their mind — to “shut up and dribble.”

Pompeo was not having it. 

LOL. It (thankfully) doesn’t end there, though. Pompeo went further because of Ingraham’s comment about James’ education.

Apparently, Ingraham’s fans took Pompeo’s request to meet her outside seriously. She responded to one Twitter user — who later deleted their tweet — providing a location. Oh, Ellen.

The shenanigans carried over into Monday afternoon, but Pompeo was happy to continue beefing with Ingraham’s followers.

If this is the first time you’re experiencing Pompeo’s tweets, you’ve definitely been missing out. Here are a few of her most savage posts:

1. When she prioritized her values over having fans

Pompeo expanded in another tweet:

Not every celebrity is bold enough to vocalize their views and opinions like Pompeo regularly does. It’s definitely respectable.

2. When she fired off on Woody Allen & called his films “bougie sh*t”

Pompeo didn’t hold back when she began tweeting about Allen, who’s been accused of sexual assault by his daughter, Dylan Farrow, for years. It started when she quoted a tweet that said “A journalist went through Woody Allen’s personal journals and found he was obsessed with teenage girls.” 

She also called out the lack of diversity in his films, which, in her opinion, are just a bunch of “bougie sh*t.”

3. Her response to someone criticizing Grey’s Anatomy

Don’t come for Ellen. 

4. When she shared her hobbies

I really, really just want to be her best friend.

5. Her refusal to accept E!’s alleged treatment of Catt Sadler

Sadler reportedly left E! after finding out she was only making half of what her male co-host made. Pompeo was rightfully not happy with the situation.

6. When someone insulted her iconic tweets

Queen of self confidence.

7. Her response to an A&E docuseries about the KKK

TBH, who WOULDN’T watch Grey’s over, like, anything else?

8. When she reflected on a hilarious story she told in an interview

OK, so the tweet isn’t exactly savage — but the story was. So it counts!

9. Finally, when she admitted what everyone already knew

When did she lose her chill? “Like a long time ago.” And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Never change, Ellen.
