Oof, I saw Twitter the other day was raging about this one. Heck, I would've brushed it off as Twitter being Twitter if it wasn't for Chris McFeely (the YouTuber behind "The Basics on Transformers")'s truly-has-to-be-read-to-believe reaction.
I don't even know what's going on with Ellen apart from bullying someone when she started out? (Methinks I'm barely tapping on the iceberg...)

TL DR, she had a reputation for running a very toxic workplace
, with stories about being staffers being treated in a racist manner, being fired for taking time off for medical leave, being paid too little to cover healthcare and then being reprimanded for opening a Gofundme to cover those costs, etc.

Cosby's legally-blind and barely able to move around on his own anymore. I think Eddie could take 'im.

Disney100 Marathon | DreamWorks MarathonIt also reminds me of Father of the Pride, an animated sitcom featuring Seigfried & Roy's tigers. It came out right after one of the tigers mauled Roy in real life.
According to the show’s YMMV page:

. Gets kinda graphic.

Infamously, a Simpsons episode predicted it ten years earlier. The writers in the commentary (recorded after the incident) noted that tigers are wild animals and it was just a matter of time.
The Big Secrets books by William Poundstone which published spoilers on how magic tricks are performed covered the show (again, before the attack). Poundstone went into a lot of detail about how tigers are never truly domesticated and listed some other acts where the animals attacked the performer.
x3: I guess I meant why the tiger mauled Roy, but Tuckerscreator answered that. But since you brought it up, why did the cartoon come out right after the mauling?
(Incidentally, I seriously thought Roy died from the tiger because how often does one survive a mauling? Turns out Roy died much later from COVID-19. Man.
)

My guess: it was in production before that and the release was just unfortunate timing.
I've seen a bit of the show and I only remember two things about it: John Goodman voiced the main tiger and there was one episode where (this being a Dreamworks show) Donkey, of all people, showed up and was treated as an in-universe celebrity that played himself in the Shrek movies. And yes, Eddie Murphy voiced him in the episode. Aside from that, it was just kinda boring.
