Ellen DeGeneres attends the premiere of Netflix’s “Green Eggs And Ham” at Hollywood American Legion on Nov. 03, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. As Ellen DeGeneres tried out a new comedy act Wednesday, she addressed the toxic workplace claims made against her in 2020 — a scandal that effectively damaged her reputation as the genial, “be kind” celebrity.
“What else can I tell you?” DeGeneres mused to the crowd at the Largo at the Coronet in West Hollywood, “mock-reflecting on her recent past,” Rolling Stone said. DeGeneres said with sarcasm: “Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business. There’s no mean people in show business.” But for the start of her show business return, Rolling Stone said DeGeneres spent a fair amount of time Wednesday addressing the toxic workplace allegations, whichcame forward to tell BuzzFeed News that her show’s executive producers engaged in rampant sexual misconduct and harassment. Another BuzzFeed News report detailed former employees’ accounts of racism, fear, and intimidation from top managers.
Throughout the set, the audience appeared to accept her defense that she’s an entertainer who never went to business school to learn how to be a good boss. Back in 2020, DeGeneres apologized to her staff, saying, “As we’ve grown exponentially, I’ve not been able to stay on top of everything and relied on others to do their jobs as they knew I’d want them done. Clearly some didn’t.”
As DeGeneres wound up the set, she received further confirmation that the crowd was rooting for her version of events. She ended the show with an audience Q&A, with a final question coming from a woman who asked, “Do you think you’ll seek revenge for those who have wronged you?”
