“There’s a kind of woman [who] loves a female comic. … But yeah, Ellen was really weird, and not nice to me for most of my career,” Cho claimed.

The “Notorious C.H.O.” star explained that she opened for DeGeneres when she would headline comedy clubs in the ’80s, “way before her big fame.”

“She acted like we just met,” Cho claimed. “And I’m like, ‘Bitch, what?’ That’s weird. We go way back.”

The former “All-American Girl” actress also claimed DeGeneres “cut” a portion from the latter’s interview with David Bowie, where he raved about Cho.

“It’s so creepy and weird, but also, the other thing was, David Bowie had been on the show, and he was so excited that the night before that, I had come to his show wearing this giant Chinese emperor outfit,” she remembered.
