Ellen Pompeo is putting her foot down over a growing Internet con-toe-versy ... claiming a photo that surfaced recently -- which appears to show the actress with 6 toes on each foot -- is totally bogus. 
The photo in question (top right) seems to be an optical illusion -- because based on another photo of the same foot (bottom right) Ellen only has five toes.
In fact, one of the Executive Producers on "Grey's Anatomy" -- Shonda Rhimes -- tweeted, "Pompeo and I are still laughing. She says to tell everyone the rumors are wrong -- she has SEVEN toes on each foot!"
Go ahead. Count 'em yourself.

I think the illusion that appears to be a sixth toe is actually the middle of the sole of the flats she's wearing. Notice the location of her foot in the picture, and on another picture her foot is completely covering that area.

The liner underneath her foot is flesh-coloured and her foot's not centered on it... so you see the dark leather, and the flesh-coloured leather next to her toe. Ill-fitting shoes to begin with.

Ellen may not have six toes but she certainly needs some better fitting sandals.

Feet are feet -- most of them are ugly. Also ugly is Harvey's ankles hanging out. Get some socks and cover those things.

Her feet are probably better looking than the bored posters faces, hating on some feet. Seriously, this is how your life ended up. Hating on feet on the internet, haha.
