Ellen DeGeneres apologized to the staff of her daytime TV talk show amid an internal company investigation of complaints of a difficult and unfair workplace.
"On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that `The Ellen DeGeneres Show' would be a place of happiness -- no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect," DeGeneres wrote. Something changed, she said, "and for that, I am sorry."
Most of the complaints were tied to executive producers and senior managers, BuzzFeed News said, but one ex-employee said DeGeneres need to take more responsibility for the work environment. The people making the allegations were not identified. "As a result, WarnerMedia interviewed dozens of current and former employees about the environment at `The Ellen DeGeneres Show' ... . And though not all of the allegations were corroborated, we are disappointed that the primary findings of the investigation indicated some deficiencies related to the show's day-to-day management."
