Margaret Cho dissed “mean girl” Ellen DeGeneres in a scathing podcast interview.

During a recent appearance on the “Kelly Mantle Show” podcast, the comedian described the former talk show host as “somebody that I’d known for such a long time.”

“It’s so weird now, [the] public perception of her is more true to … she’s mean,” Cho told host Kelly Mantle. “She was like a mean girl, kind of, but also she would be real nice.”

“I think she always had negative feelings toward me because her girlfriends and wives always liked me,” the “Drop Dead Diva” alum, 56, claimed of DeGeneres, 67.

“There’s a kind of woman [who] loves a female comic. … But yeah, Ellen was really weird, and not nice to me for most of my career,” Cho claimed.

The “Notorious C.H.O.” star explained that she opened for DeGeneres when she would headline comedy clubs in the ’80s, “way before her big fame.”

However, Cho said things began to feel different between them once she appeared on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” in the aughts.

“She acted like we just met,” Cho claimed. “And I’m like, ‘Bitch, what?’ That’s weird. We go way back.”

The former “All-American Girl” actress also claimed DeGeneres “cut” a portion from the latter’s interview with David Bowie, where he raved about Cho.

“It’s so creepy and weird, but also, the other thing was, David Bowie had been on the show, and he was so excited that the night before that, I had come to his show wearing this giant Chinese emperor outfit,” she remembered.

“He was really thrilled about it, and he talked at length about it. And she cut it out of the show, which made me so mad,” Cho added.

“The producer, who’s a really good friend of mine, had to call me and tell me, ‘I can’t believe she did this, but she cut it out of the show. You need to know that he was going on and on about your outfit. He loves you,’” the stand-up comedian claimed.

“I don’t know if it was personal, maybe it was for time. But still, I’m gonna take it personally because I decided to.”
