ELLEN ANSWERS THE IGGY QUESTION IN MODERN DOG MAGAZINE!

Ellen DeGeneres sat down for an interview with Connie Wilson’s Modern Dog and answered a bunch of really tough  softball questions!

The one that I was waiting for was, obviously, Ellen’s answer to that whole Iggy controversy.  Here’s what she had to say:

Modern Dog: Have you recovered from the heartache of Iggy?

Ellen:  I think I felt like a victim.  For me to have been on any kind of attack for an animal issue felt like “This is crazy.”

I thought I was saving an animal.  The way I read it was that if you cannot provide a good home for the animal, it comes back to the shelter.  And so I provided a good home.

I’ve learned a whole lot.  I had no idea it really meant making a phone call saying “Is this okay?”

I’m the most honest person you will ever meet – to a fault.  I will show you exactly how I feel.  I happen to have a talk show.  So, I talk about whatever is going on in my life.  I had spent all night trying to save this family from losing their dog.  It was a dog that I knew was in a good home and I couldn’t just do a show without talking about it.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to completely contain it and I lost it.
