Ellen DeGeneres, known for her wit and humor, took a playful jab at Brad Pitt’s latest movie script during a recent segment on her talk show. The script, touted as a socially conscious narrative addressing contemporary issues, faced criticism from DeGeneres for what she termed as “excessive wokeness.”
In her signature comedic style, DeGeneres quipped, “Brad, we love your work, but there’s only so much ‘woke’ we can handle in one sitting.” The audience erupted in laughter as DeGeneres humorously pointed out the pitfalls of prioritizing social justice themes over storytelling depth.
The roast continued as DeGeneres playfully suggested alternative plotlines that deviated from the ‘woke’ narrative, sparking a lighthearted debate on the balance between artistic expression and social commentary in Hollywood.
