For years, media types and Hollywood insiders have whispered about how Ellen DeGeneres isn’t exactly the paragon of kindness she seems to be, and how working on her eponymous show is actually a nightmare, despite its bubbly, innocent facade. Now those rumors have finally come out into the open in the form of serious allegations. Last month, BuzzFeed News published a pair of stories that detail the allegedly toxic environment on set at Ellen, along with allegations of sexual misconduct by three of the show’s producers. Meanwhile, celebrities, guests, and former employees have accused DeGeneres of, essentially, being mean—an allegation that, while far from criminal, runs counter to the brand that’s defined her career. WarnerMedia has since launched an investigation into the workplace at The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and at least one producer is expected to resign.
