‘THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW’ CONTROVERSIES

In July last year, staff at The Ellen DeGeneres Show complained about mistreatment while working on the show.

A former employee told BuzzFeed News that the money given out on the show is allegedly for the show’s benefit. “That ‘be kind’ bullsh*t only happens when the cameras are on,” they said.

Another employee passionately said, “If she wants to have her own show and have her name on the show title, she needs to be more involved to see what’s going on.”
