Ellen DeGeneres has come under fire for grilling Justin Bieber about having children with wife Hailey Baldwin on her show.
The presenter has had a difficult year after allegations of workplace misconduct, and now fans are taking her to task over a ‘rude’ and ‘invasive’ interview with the singer.
Justin appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres show this week and after a lighthearted chat about tattoos, things got uncomfortable when the conversation turned to his plans to start a family with wife Hailey Baldwin.
‘How many kids are you going to have and when?’, Ellen asked him.
‘I’m going to have as many as Hailey is wishing to push out,’ he replied. ‘I’d love to have myself a little tribe. But, yeah, it’s her body and whatever she wants to do.’
‘Does she want a lot?’ the presenter asked.
‘I think she wants to have a few,’ he responded.
Then she said: ‘What are you all waiting for? You know you love kids. You’re so good with kids. What’s the holdup?’
After a pause, Justin replied: ‘I think the issue, there’s not really an issue, but I think Hailey still has some things she wants to accomplish as a woman. And I think she just wants to, I think she just is not ready yet, and I think that’s okay.’
Fans were quick to take issue with the interview on social media, accusing Ellen of being invasive.
‘Please stop asking people when they’re going to have babies. It’s rude and invasive,’ one viewer wrote.
‘There’s more to being married or in a long term relationship than having babies. Stop,’ another said.
Justin and model Hailey dated briefly in 2015, before getting back together and marrying in 2018.
Ellen recently dedicated her E! People’s Choice Award win to her fans for ‘sticking by [her]’ during the recent allegations of a ‘toxic workplace environment’.
Meanwhile, Mariah Carey also recently recalled how she felt ‘extremely uncomfortable’ during a past interview with Ellen, in which the talk show host badgered her to confirm she was pregnant in 2008.
The singer appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show amid speculation she was expecting a baby with then-husband Nick Cannon. She was indeed expecting a baby but she sadly miscarried shortly after.
