Comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres' producer is being sued by a woman who claims Ellen mispronounced her name in a segment called, "What's Wrong with These Signs."

Titi (TEE'-tee) Pierce, a Georgia real estate agent, alleges in her lawsuit against Warner Bros. that DeGeneres displayed one of Pierce's real estate signs and mispronounced her name to make a joke about breasts. Pierce, who further claims it was the first time anyone has ever mispronounced her name, said that since the sign included her cellphone number she has been subjected to "ridiculing and harassing" phone calls. She is seeking unspecified monetary damages for what she claims are invasion of privacy, defamation and emotional distress.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show executive producers say, "We try to have fun every day and make people laugh and never intend to hurt anyone's feelings."
