Ellen DeGeneres 'Mean-Streak' Sparks Epic Portia de Rossi Fights? 'Angry Temper' & 'Screaming Nightmare' Demands Intensify Divorce Scandal

Come on now - does Ellen DeGeneres really LOOK like that evil?

Rumors suggest that despite her high-spirited and likable onscreen personality, the beloved talk show host is a true "monster" in real life. And now she's even taking her boiling temper out on longtime wife, Portia de Rossi. And it's putting a major strain on their relationship.

Right...

An alleged insider for the seedy gossip tabloid InTouch reveals:

"Ellen has an ugly, dark side and a temper like you wouldn't believe... It's almost like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The second the audience leaves, Ellen transforms. The horror stories of being on her staff are legendary."

Bascially, the 57-year-old comedienne treats her staff (and loved ones) like trash once the cameras stop rolling. And that's where de Rossi's heartbreak comes in:

"[DeGeneres] gets into violent fights with Portia and rages and throws things. Ellen tells her who she can be friends with and even makes her turn down roles she is offered," the snitch explains. "No one understands why Portia stays with Ellen - she drives her insane!"

Nonsense.

Why try and tear their marriage apart - DeGeneres and her 42-year-old Hollywood sweetheart are happy as could be (even without a baby)! DeGeneres enjoys her job, and treats everyone she meets with utter respect and warmth. Another "legit" source tells GossipCop that such crazy rumors are "absurd" -

"The staff and Ellen have fun all day every day with each other." As for the alleged fights with de Rossi, we're told the rumor is "absurd."

So continue ignoring the hateful lies, MstarsNews readers - that seems to work well for DeGeneres!

The happy couple began dating in 2004, and they officially tied the knot in August 2008. They've remained together ever since - no pending divorce in sight.
