Ellen DeGeneres facing lawsuit over breast joke
A woman from Georgia is suing Ellen DeGeneres after she says she was ridiculed on the comedienne’s talk show.
Titi Pierce, an electronics engineer and real estate agent in Warner Robins, Georgia, is suing the talk show host for defamation, false light invasion of privacy, misappropriation of likeness and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Pierce’s real estate business was featured on a February 22 episode of Ellen during the “What’s Wrong With These Signs” segment. Though Pierce pronounces her first name “Tee Tee,” Ellen read her sign “titty pierce” and made a joke about breasts.

Oh for goodness sake - really?
Tables are turned I guess. The LGBT crowd would be fast to sue someone if you made fun of them.
"The lawsuit claims that Pierce has never been referred to as “Titty” “in her 35 years of life.”"
Her chosen name is Titi. How likely is it that no one, in 35 years, called her "Titty" before?
Mothers and fathers, name your children well.
This is how the Progressive treat anyone who disagrees with them so I'm glad and hope to see more of it.
True that!
