It’s Been One Year Since THAT Dakota Johnson Interview on ‘Ellen’ - Rewatch It Here!
One year ago, Dakota Johnson made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and had an encounter with host Ellen DeGeneres that was so awkward, it remains heavily referenced and meme-d by the Internet to this day.
During the appearance, the Peanut Butter Falcon actress was asked about her 30th birthday party, and Ellen awkwardly grilled Dakota about not being invited – to which Dakota insisted she was.

“Actually that’s not true, Ellen…Ask anybody, ask your producer,” she said.
“Oh right, I had that thing,” Ellen joked.
The exchange quickly went viral on social media, generating headlines like “Dakota Johnson‘s Newest Ellen Interview Is More Awkward Than All Of My High School Years Combined” and “Dakota Johnson Wastes Zero Time Calling Out Ellen’s Bulls–t.”
And in the year since, the drama surrounding Ellen‘s show and the alleged toxic workplace culture and reported behavior outside of the series, which she herself addressed and apologized for on the show, has only made the exchange even more relevant.
Relive the exchange between Dakota Johnson and Ellen DeGeneres, and check out some of the reactions at the time a year ago…
