THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW IS SUDDENLY NOT A RAY OF SUNSHINE

The Ellen DeGeneres Show has always been a show that took credit for the good laughs it brings and the kind and giving spirit it shares. Apparently, talk came up that this was not the case backstage. The staff of the show stood up and said they were not treated right in their workplace. In fact, the employees have claimed themes of sexual harassment, discrimination, and, to top it all off, a toxic work environment.

Reports of the less than desirable working conditions and allegations of the producers sexually harassing junior staff members came to light last July. DeGeneres herself wrote a public apology to the staff, though she herself was not directly accused. However, the executive producers Kevin Leman, Ed Glavin, and Jonathan Norman took a step back from the show. Since then, DeGeneres has continued with her show, all while working to change all the issues that were brought up behind the scenes.
