Ellen DeGeneres, the beloved comedian and talk show host, is once again making headlines—but not for the right reasons. Fresh allegations have surfaced, painting a starkly different picture of the star known for her trademark kindness and humour.
The Allegations Surface
Former employees and guests of The Ellen DeGeneres Show have come forward with claims of a toxic work environment, describing the host as cold, dismissive, and even outright cruel off-camera. These revelations follow previous accusations in 2020 that led to an internal investigation and public apology from DeGeneres.
Behind the Smiles
Sources allege that the cheerful, generous persona seen on screen was often a facade. One former staffer claimed, "Ellen would ignore you if you weren’t important enough. The energy on set changed completely when the cameras stopped rolling."
Celebrity Guests Speak Out
Even A-list guests reportedly felt the tension. One unnamed actor admitted, "She was polite during interviews but distant once the segment ended. It was like two different people."
Ellen’s Response
DeGeneres has yet to publicly address the latest claims, but her representatives have reiterated that she remains committed to fostering a positive workplace. However, critics argue that the damage to her reputation may already be irreversible.
With her talk show now off the air, the question remains: Will Ellen DeGeneres ever reclaim her status as America’s favourite TV host?
