Greyson Chance, a prior protege of Ellen DeGeneres, asserts that he’d never encountered someone as manipulative and self-absorbed as Ellen.
Chance, 25, from Oklahoma, reminisced on his career in an interview with Rolling Stone. In 2010, when he was 12 years old, a viral video of him performing Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” put him on DeGeneres’ talk show. He admitted to the magazine that he had no idea what he was getting into, and Ellen was crucial in bringing order out of the chaos. DeGeneres promised him she would look out for him and protect him when they first met.
She soon co-founded the record company Eleveneleven and picked Chance as her debut artist. She also put him in touch with prestigious agents and managers.
Chance said that Ellen turned domineering after the publication of his mini EP in 2010 and the subsequent increase in the demands of his touring schedule. He claimed he discovered very fast that only Ellen DeGeneres‘ opinions mattered.
