During the show, a sign showing Titi’s name and phone number was shown. Ellen then said, “Titty Pierce, sounds like she might have spent some time in that nipple home, I don’t know.” She referred to the name to mean Boobs.
Her lawsuit states that “It is highly offensive for an ordinary person to be called ‘titty’ on national television.”
She also claims the joke “led to immediate ridicule and raucous laughter from the show’s live and television audiences” and notes that the show didn’t blank out her personal phone number, stating that she has received “ridiculing and harassing telephone calls.”
Titi Pierce is seeking damages andasks that the show be barred from re-airing the episode.
