A Georgia real estate agent by the name of Titi Pierce, isn’t happy with Ellen DeGeneres and Warner Brothers Studios. Ellen made fun of her name during a ‘What’s Wrong With These Signs†segment on her talk show. She made her name sound like the word, “Titty,†while it’s pronounced as “Tee-Tee.†Titi said in her lawsuit that “no one has ever made such an error in her 35 years on planet Earth.â€
The lawsuit also says the “What’s Wrong With These Signs†segment showed her real estate sign with her cellphone number and she was a victim of harassing phone calls. She’s suing Ellen for defamation and invasion of privacy. “Ellen†executive producers stated, “We try to have fun every day and make people laugh and never intend to hurt anyone’s feelings.†Warner Brothers declined to make a comment.
