Toxic environment: The Ellen Show is under investigation

An internal investigation will be conducted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show following multiple complaints on the work environment.

The move is a follow-up to a Buzzfeed news article dated July 16, that highlighted accusations of “racism, unjust termination and an overall toxic work culture based on bullying and fear. More than 10 employees spoke to the Buzzfeed News regarding the toxic environment.

Variety reports that Warner Media is investigating the show, and apparently last week executives from Telepictures and Warner Bros. Television sent a memo to staff saying a third party firm would “interview current and former staffers about their experiences on set.”

Many employees reported about how the producers handled the workers.

Executive producers Ed Glavin, Mary Connelly and Andy Lassner released a statement to E! News about the claims, taking responsibility for the show and attempting to distance Ellen from the allegations:

“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. For the record, the day to day responsibility of the Ellen show is completely on us. We take all of this very seriously and we realize, as many in the world are learning, that we need to do better, are committed to do better, and we will do better.”
