In the original exchange, DeGeneres attempted to grill Johnson for not inviting her to her birthday party, only for the actress to firmly correct her.
Proving its popularity, in May this year Twitter users were quick to unearth the video again as they celebrated ‘Happy National Dakota Johnson Day’ with news that Ellen’s show will end in its 19th season in 2022.

It comes amid Ellen’s toxic workplace scandal, which has been largely blamed for the show ending, with talk-show host dubbed ‘the queen of mean’ after years of rumors about her behavior off set.
Two years ago when Ellen mentioned she wasn’t invited to Dakota’s 30th birthday, the 50 Shades actress replied: ‘Actually no. That’s not the truth, Ellen. You were invited.’

‘You knew I liked you. You’ve been on the show many times,’ Ellen said before a back-and-forth with a crew member. ‘I was invited? Why didn’t I go? Oh yeah, I had a thing. It was probably in Malibu. That’s too far for me to go ― I think I do remember I was invited. But I really didn’t remember that until just now.’
After 19 seasons and more than 3,000 episodes, Ellen reportedly informed her staff in an email this May that she was done with her self-titled show.
‘When you’re a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged — and as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore,’ DeGeneres told The Hollywood Reporter.

In March 2020, Kevin T. Porter called out Ellen for being ‘notoriously one of the meanest people alive’ and started a Twitter thread for users to send in their stories, only for the thread to pick up steam.
Ellen addressed accusations from both current and former employees that she had fostered a toxic workplace, and apologized during an opening monologue on her show last season.
