Ellen Degeneres Under Fire for Tweeting ‘Inappropriate’ Photo of Katy Perry (LOOK!)

*Ellen DeGeneres has sparked an online debate about sexism after she shared a photo of her gawking at Katy Perry’s breasts in a happy birthday tweet to the singer.

The photo, from 2013, captures the talk show host drooling over Perry’s cleavage while her wife Portia de Rossi laughs. The caption reads: “It’s time to bring out the big balloons! 

The “balloons” line references a lyric in Perry’s 2013 song “Birthday.”

Fans of Perry took offense at a photo, saying that if a man did the same thing as Ellen, he would be called out for sexual harassment and objectifying women’s bodies. Some are even comparing the photo to the Harvey Weinstein drama.

One woman posted the photo on Facebook and called for Ellen to apologize for her inappropriate behavior toward women.

“Just because you’re a woman doesn’t give you the right to objectify other women,” the woman wrote in an open letter to the 59-year-old TV mogul.

Another online user noted, “If a white, straight man did this, he’d be nailed to the wall.”

Below is a sampling of the reactions. Do you think folks are overly sensitive about this?
