The Ellen DeGeneres show to witness some changes
Last updated
“The Ellen DeGeneres Show” is soon to undergo certain changes in its staff. This new announcement comes in the light of allegations made against the show for fostering a toxic work environment.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Warner Bros., mentioned that three of the show’s top producers, Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman and Jonathan Norman have “parted ways” with “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
The sudden news comes after reports by BuzzFeed in which some present and former staff members reported that they faced harassment, intimidation and racism.
A source revealed that DeGeneres held a Zoom meeting on August 17 with more than 200 employees.
Addressing all the team members, DeGeneres apologised. She said that from now on she will be interacting more with her staff and make sure there’s a culture where her employees feel “happy and safe.”
Also, last month she had ensured all the people working in the show that an internal investigation had been launched into the allegations.
“We are taking steps, together, to correct the issues,” DeGeneres wrote.
WarnerMedia also released a statement stating, “Warner Bros. and Ellen DeGeneres take the recent allegations around the show’s workplace culture very seriously.”
