Ellen Pompeo is finally calling TMZ out on its reporting practices. Apparently when Harry Levin’s website broke the news that Kobe Bryant had been killed in a helicopter crash. Because they didn’t take the time to contact the victims’ family prior to sharing the information, a lot of them found out on social media and the news.
The “Grey’s Anatomy” star tweeted, “I wonder why police departments give @HarveyLevinTMZ all this sensitive info?” She went on say, “So many questions I have …if we are not tolerating abuse anymore… shouldn’t we be calling this out? …Exploiting the brutal sudden death of peoples loved ones is certainly emotional abuse… I call times up on his behavior.” Ellen added, “So many peoples lives will never be the same after this tragedy… but you got your scoop. Hope you sleep well at night [Harvey Levin]. I’m sure you do…”
The way Pompeo sees it, White male privilege is what’s kept Harvey in business. She also called him out for exploiting women and accused him of paying police and airlines off so he can get the freshest info. So far, Harvey hasn’t responded. Meanwhile, the investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
