Former 'Ellen Show' Workers Speak Out After Standup Special



Former ‘The Ellen Show’ employees are speaking out after her standup special. Ellen DeGeneres used jokes to address the controversy. “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” went off the air after 19 seasons in May 2022. The show ended after controversies that included allegations of racism and sexual misconduct. However, a former producer who worked with her takes issue with how she’s framing allegations that there was a toxic work environment.

  1. Comments full of judgy people who have no personal knowledge of the situation. I know I don’t – guess I’ll mind my own business & let those who do sort it out. I have a life.

  2. If she were a man this wouldn't even make the news. Can we now all list the men that male bosses that weren't nice to their employees and what if anything came of it? Unless they sexually harassed someone, we never hear about it. This is just cheap reporting.

  3. 'It wasn't a family, it was an atmosphere of fear" that does describe some family dynamics though, maybe that's what Ellen's family was like so she thinks this behaviour is normal

  4. Is it inexcusable to disrespect people in the worklace? YES.
    Does the industry have different standards for men and women? YES
    I'm certain ifEllen was a man an "atmosphere of fear" would be just fine with the network as long as there was no sexual harassment and even that would have been ok prior to the "me2" movement.
