The Ellen DeGeneres show to return for one last time with fully vaccinated audience and high profile guests

<p>Ellen DeGeneres states that the media coverage around the work place scandal that broke out on the sets of her show in 2020 was 'misogynistic' in nature.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, the TV show host announced that she was pulling the curtains down on her popular TV show 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' in 2022 after a successful runtime of 19 years.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A day later, DeGeneres appeared on a news show and spoke of the scandal that rocked her show last year. She said that she felt the press coverage surrounding the accusations were "misogynistic" and "orchestrated. "</p>

<p>She claimed, "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."<br />
<br />
When asked if the Emmy-winner felt "cancelled," she responded, "I mean, I really don`t understand it. I still don`t understand it. It was too orchestrated. It was too coordinated."<br />
<br />
DeGeneres said she felt confused and hurt above all. Talking about the allegations she said, "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 is."</p>

<br />
DeGeneres noted that there are 255 employees that make up her show so she doesn`t know "how I could have known" the alleged behaviour was going on.<br />
<br />
DeGeneres further elaborated on the subject and continued, "There are a lot of different buildings. Unless I literally stayed here until the last person goes home at night, it is my name on the show so clearly it affects me and I might have to be the one to stand up and say, `This can`t be tolerated.` But I do wish someone came up to me and said, `Hey, this is something you should know about."<br />
<br />
The comedian said that she is not bulletproof and added, "No, I do not have thick skin. I`m extremely sensitive to the point that this is not healthy how sensitive I am. When something is coming back at me that I know is not true, I guess I could take one or two of those shots but four months in a row took a toll on me."</p>

Ellen DeGeneres gets support from celebrity friends as she begins new season of her show amid controversy

<p>Ellen DeGeneres on Monday opened the new season of her popular television talk show by apologizing to staff after reports of a toxic work environment on her set and saying changes had been made to start "a new chapter."<br />
<br />
Three top producers on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" exited the show, producer Warner Bros. said in August after an internal investigation into complaints of bullying, racism and sexual misconduct against them.<br />
<br />
"I learned that things happen here that never should have happened," DeGeneres, 62, said in the opening monologue for the premiere of her show`s 18th season. "I take that very seriously and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected."<br />
<br />
"We have made the necessary changes and today we are starting a new chapter," she added.<br />
<br />
Over the summer, weeks of backstage turmoil undermined the show’s public message of spreading kindness and happiness.<br />
<br />
Reports of a hostile workplace have included criticism that DeGeneres is mean-spirited. These prompted a social media campaign calling for her replacement and public statements of support for the comedian from the likes of Katy Perry, Kevin Hart, Alec Baldwin and Ashton Kutcher.<br />
<br />
DeGeneres, who is gay, joked that she was a good actress because she has played straight women. "But I don`t think that I`m that good that I could come out here every day for 17 years and fool you," she said of her reputation for kindness.<br />
<br />
"I am that person that you see on TV," she said. "I am also a lot of other things. Sometimes I get sad, I get mad, I get anxious, I get frustrated, I get impatient. And I am working on all of that. I am a work in progress."</p>

Three top producers on the 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' have exited the popular television talk show, Warner. Bros said on Monday, after an internal investigation into complaints of bullying, racism and sexual misconduct against them. A spokesperson for Warner Bros. Television, which produces the show, on Monday said that three senior producers had "parted ways" with the show. The departures followed weeks of turmoil backstage that has undermined the show`s public message of spreading kindness and happiness. Reports of a hostile workplace have included criticism that DeGeneres is mean-spirited. These prompted a social media campaign calling for her replacement and public statements of support for the comedian from the likes of Katy Perry, Kevin Hart, Alec Baldwin and Ashton Kutcher. DeGeneres, 62, on Monday spoke to the staff of her show via Zoom in what Variety said was an emotional and apologetic address. Variety cited multiple sources as saying that DeGeneres told staff she was "not perfect" and that it was "heartbreaking" to read allegations about the atmosphere on the set.
