Ellen Pompeo Reveals Her Controversial Comments On Emmy Diversity Were Made "Off The Record!"

Let the journalistic finger pointing begin!

Ellen Pompeo didn’t intend for her controversial comments on the Emmys to be made public, but they totes were—and she’s not one bit sorry about it!

The 43-year-old Grey’s Anatomy actress is standing by her words that this year’s show was “disappointing” and “lacked diversity,” even though the statement was allegedly made “off the record!”

Ellen spilled the salacious beans to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens: Live, explaining that her team was investigating the matter, because her comments occurred outside of an interview!

Nancy Drew those journalism ethics, girlfraaan!

Clearly everyone was okay with the telecast overall, even the diversity (sorry, Elle), because this year’s show was the highest rated Emmys since 2007!
