Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres was labeled 'Ellen Weinstein' by Twitter users who criticized her for posting a 'sexist' tweet about Katy Perry's breasts
DeGeneres  posted the picture tweet to her page Wednesday morning, alongside the caption: Happy birthday, @KatyPerry! It's time to bring out the big balloons!'
Folks on the internet didn't find it to be too funny - and bashed DeGeneres for her poor taste and even worse timing amid countless sexual harassment scandals
Katy Perry, who is said to be good friends with DeGeneres, has yet to comment
DeGeneres’ tweet has generated more than 4,000 comments, many of them reflecting anger with the daytime talk show host.

What if a man had tweeted that, asked critics who accused DeGeneres of objectifying Perry.

Some people compared her to embattled Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, who faces multiple allegations of sexual harassment and abuse.

but according to Ellen“Big balloons” is a reference to lyrics in Ms. Perry’s 2014 song “Birthday,” but the openly gay comedian ran into trouble with
 the photo attached that showed her staring with her mouth agape at Ms. Perry’s breasts.
Last week, Ms. DeGeneres dedicated her show’s opening monologue to condemning the prevalence of sexual harassment in the workplace, Fox News reported.
“This is not a male thing or a female thing, it is not a Hollywood or political thing, this is a human thing and it happens in the workplace,
 it happens in families, it happens all over the world and we are all the same,” she said.
