Ellen DeGeneres recently addressed the past toxic workplace claims made against her in a new stand-up routine at the Largo in LA. In 2020, anonymous current and former staffers detailed their negative experiences on the set of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in a BuzzFeed News report. DeGeneres apologized to staff and three producers left the show as a result. She emphasized that she always wanted the show to be a place of happiness and respect.
DeGeneres spoke about feeling the backlash of the claims, which led to the cancellation of her show after 19 seasons. She joked about being kicked out of show business for being “mean” and discussed struggling to be a boss without formal business training. She also mentioned the impact the situation had on her and her wife, Portia de Rossi.
Despite the challenging experience, DeGeneres hopes to spread more laughter and less drama in the world. She acknowledged the difficulty of the situation but expressed her love for the show. She is currently on the “Ellen’s Last Stand… Up Tour” and plans to continue sharing her humor and resilience with audiences.
