After several reports of a toxic working environment on the set of the comedian's show, distributor Warner Bros. has brought in consultants to examine the claims.
While “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” continues to tape at the host’s home, core crew members are reportedly upset over a lack of communication from top producers.
The move to gather testimony by employees follows months during which DeGeneres has been quarantining at home during the pandemic, but the allegedly unflattering workings of her show have spilled into public view. DeGeneres, whose tag line is “Be kind to one another,” faced a litany of criticisms for bad behavior in a Twitter thread started by comedian Kevin T. Porter, complaints from crew about being abandoned during the shutdown, and an investigation byThe employees, current and former, interviewed by BuzzFeed, spoke of being fired for taking medical or bereavement leave; one said she was a victim of racial discrimination.
Executive producers Ed Glavin, Mary Connelly and Andy Lassner told BuzzFeed News they took the stories of the employees “very seriously” and committed to do better.“We are truly heartbroken and sorry to learn that even one person in our production family has had a negative experience. It’s not who we are and not who we strive to be, and not the mission Ellen has set for us,” the group said.
A Warner Bros. Television spokesman said at the time that union crew members on the show have been paid consistently since the pandemic hit, albeit at a reduced rate. Some had been with the show for the duration of its 17-year run, which has made DeGeneres one of TV’s highest-paid stars.
