Ellen DeGeneres ' most vicious interviews from across the years have resurfaced after she came under fire for pressuring Mariah Carey to reveal her pregnancy weeks before she suffered a miscarriage.
The US talk show host, 62, has faced numerous allegations of diva behaviour since comedian Kevin T Porter dubbed her "one of the meanest people alive ".
This week, the focus shifted to her her uncomfortable 2010 interview with Mariah, in which she tried to make the pregnant star drink alcohol in a bid to confirm the baby rumours.
Now more examples of Ellen's harsh celebrity interviews have come to light and include a frosty interview with Celine Dion in which she insulted the star's young son and another which left Taylor Swift close to tears.
Back in 2007, superstar singer Celine made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and was shocked when the host turned the questions to her son René-Charles.
Ellen showed a picture of Celine with her husband and their little boy, and asked her why she hadn't bothered to get her son a hair cut.
She said: "Look at his hair? When are you going to cut that hair?"
Celine was visibly fuming and took the host to task as she defended her parenting choices, saying: "Do you have a problem with that?"
The singer went on: "You now I have to say it's amazing right, some people shave the head of the children and they say 'Isn't that terrible'.
"I don't even cut my son's hair and they say 'Oh when are you going to cut his hair?'
"Whatever I will do, I won't please everyone. I can assure every mother here, Renee-Charles makes his own decisions."
Another difficult watch is a 2012 interview with Taylor Swift in which Ellen badgers her into talking about her love life when the star clearly and repeatedly told her she felt uncomfortable.
It starts badly when Ellen started asking Taylor: "Which song on the new album is about Zac Efron?"
Taylor replies by insisting they didn't date and Ellen responds by saying "Ok" and spinning her finger in a circle by her head to imply the star is crazy,
After Taylor declined to talk about her exes, Ellen insisted on playing a game in which she flashed all of her rumours former lovers up on a big screen.
The singer was horrified and almost burst into tears as she repeatedly insisted: "I don't want to, I don't want to, please stop.
"Don't send me angry emails, stop it stop!"
She put her head in her hands and choked back tears, and her voice cracked as she told Ellen: "Every time I come up here you make me feel so bad about myself by putting a different dude up there on the screen and it really makes me question what I stand for as a human being."
The most uncomfortable interview to watch is arguable Ellen's chat with Jessica Simpson in 2017.
Jessica started the interview by seeming calling the host out on her aggressive tactics, declaring: "I am not pregnant..." and Ellen batted back: "You're not pregnant, I heard you were."
The interview was hailed as a car crash at the time as Jessica struggled to answer Ellen's questions, and she later revealed she had been battling addiction issues at the time.
Speaking on America's Today show, she admitted she was drunk on the show and explained: "I can’t even watch the interview.
"It was a weak moment for me, and I wasn’t in the right place. I had started a spiral, and I couldn’t catch up with myself and that was with alcohol."
