“I really didn’t understand it.
“It was too orchestrated, it was too coordinated.
But the accusations kept coming.
Ellen DeGeneres appeared on NBC’s “Today” after announcing the end of her talk show.NBC
This was followed byanother articlethat claimed “harassment, sexual misconduct, and assault from top producers.”
Warner Bros. Television conducted an internal investigation that resulted inthe departure of three producers.
DeGeneres apologizedin private to her staffandin public on her show.
“I really did think about not coming back because it was devastating.
I am a kind person.
I am a person who likes to make people happy.”
DeGeneres further stated that she “had no idea” about any kind of untenable workplace.
“Never saw anything that would even point to that,” she said.
“Unless I literally stayed here until that last person goes home at night… “It’s more for this one because we had further to fall,” she said.
“And everybody else was at a lower place, so they didn’t have as far to fall.
I mean, that’s the truth, we were very, very successful.
As you said, everything in television is down.
It’s got nothing to do with why I’m leaving.
If I was having fun, I would do this show with nobody watching.
So it’s got nothing to do with that.”
The Ellen DeGeneres Showwill formally conclude in spring 2022.
