In a recent interview, Johnson revealed that her blunt response to DeGeneres was a moment of growing confidence. "I was like, 'You're Ellen DeGeneres,' and I'm like, 'No, that's not the way I would've done that,'" Johnson said. "I think it was kind of nice that I defended myself."The resurfacing of this incident highlights the changing dynamics of celebrity interviews. Stars are becoming more vocal about their boundaries and expectations, demanding respect from both hosts and their audiences.
Johnson's confrontation with DeGeneres has also sparked a wider conversation about the power imbalance between interviewers and interviewees. Critics argue that hosts like DeGeneres often use their platform to exploit or belittle their guests, creating an uncomfortable and disrespectful environment.
As Dakota Johnson's reaction demonstrates, celebrities are no longer afraid to stand up for themselves and challenge inappropriate behavior from their interviewers. This shift in power has the potential to create a more equitable and respectful relationship between interviewer and interviewee, ultimately leading to more authentic and engaging conversations.
