"Dozens of Former Ellen Show Employees Say Executive Producers Engaged in Rampant Sexual Misconduct and Harassment"

"Former Employees Say Ellen's 'Be Kind' Talk Show Mantra Masks a Toxic Work Culture"

"Ellen DeGeneres Addresses Workplace Allegations and Changes Forthcoming in Staff Letter"

One ex-employee said head writer and executive producer Kevin Leman asked him if he could give him a hand job or perform oral sex in a bathroom at a company party in 2013. Another said they separately saw Leman grab a production assistant's penis. In May 2017, another former employee also said she saw Leman grope a production assistant in a car and kiss his neck. Nearly a dozen former employees, who range from longtime, senior-level employees to production assistants, said it was also common for Leman to make sexually explicit comments in the office, like pointing out male colleagues' bulges in their crotches, or ask them questions like, "Are you a top or a bottom?"

Dozens of former employees also said Glavin “had a reputation for being handsy with women,” especially in the control room, and managed the team through fear and intimidation. [...] Another former employee said Glavin would call over producers and assistants to sit near him when the show was filming segments they had worked on and, in front of nearly 30 other people in the control room, would touch them inappropriately.

In all, 47 former employees who spoke to BuzzFeed News said Glavin led with intimidation and fear on a daily basis. One former employee said when they turned in their notice, Glavin flipped over a table and chair while screaming.

Variety: Ellen DeGeneres Says Toxic Workplace Claims Were "Orchestrated" and Caused by Misogyny Against Her

Ellen DeGeneres said:
People get picked on, but for four months straight for me. And then for me to read in the press about a toxic work environment, when all I've ever heard from every guest that comes on the show is what a happy atmosphere this is and what a happy place this is.

How can I be an example of strength and perseverance and power if I give up and run away? And so, it really is one of the reasons I came back. I worked really hard on myself. And also, I have to say if nobody else is saying it, it was really interesting because I'm a woman, and it did feel very misogynistic.

Today: "Ellen DeGeneres Explains Why She's Ending Her Show":

 
Sounds like ratings tanked and there is going to be a slew of “me too” type lawsuits coming down the pike. Probably best to shut it down, go away for a while, get heavily involved in some charities and repair the reputation damage.

The one thing she has going for her is that she isn’t being named directly for inappropriate behavior. So go away for two years and then resurface as part of a panel like the View where you aren’t directly in charge.
 
I don't watch television.

Sorry for yall. It will be ok.
 
I’d have so many funny things to say if this was in the PF.
 
Like her or hate her, those employees don’t know what the word toxic even means. I thought millennials were bad, then a Gen Zer said the other day we had a toxic work environment because his supervisor gave him some criticism.
