Teary-eyed Ellen DeGeneres ends finale episode of her talk show on an emotional note

<p>During the two weeks in the run-up to the finale of her long-running talk show, American media personality and TV host Ellen DeGeneres has been quite emotional.<br />
<br />
According to Page Six, a source has revealed that "Ellen's been crying a lot. The whole few weeks leading up to the finale were very emotional."<br />
<br />
She had filmed her final episode of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' on April 28 and it is set to air on May 26, featuring an A-list lineup of guests, including Jennifer Aniston and Pink, both of whom appeared on the very first episode on September 8, 2003. And while DeGeneres was sad to see the end of her 19-year run, she didn`t want to go out with a bang. "She wanted to go out quietly. It was friends and family of the cast and crew in the audience," a highly-placed TV source told Page Six.<br />
<br />
Since the show's debut, the comedian has welcomed tons of celebrity guests, many of whom became targets of her good-natured pranks. However, its reputation took a hit in 2020 after allegations of toxic set behaviour surfaced.<br />
In a July 2020 letter to staff obtained by Us Weekly, the host said she'd always wanted the show to be a "place of happiness," and she apologized for the change that had taken place.<br />
<br />
The Emmy winner later stated that the accusations were "very hurtful" to her, but claimed they weren't the reason she decided to end the show. "If I was quitting the show because of that, I wouldn't have come back this season," she told The Hollywood Reporter.&nbsp;<br />

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

<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.<br />
<br />
A spokesperson for Warner Bros. Television, which produces the show, on Monday said that three senior producers had "parted ways" with the show.<br />
<br />
The departures followed weeks of turmoil backstage that has 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, 62, on Monday spoke to the staff of her show via Zoom in what Variety said was an emotional and apologetic address.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The accusations of a hostile working environment at the daytime talk show were first made by former staff members in a BuzzFeed article in July. Warner Bros. responded by saying it was investigating and that several staffing changes were being implemented.<br />
<br />
'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' has won multiple awards since it began airing in 2003. They include the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2012 for DeGeneres herself and multiple statuettes as a favorite television host.</p>

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. The accusations of a hostile working environment at the daytime talk show were first made by former staff members in a BuzzFeed article in July. Warner Bros. responded by saying it was investigating and that several staffing changes were being implemented. 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' has won multiple awards since it began airing in 2003. They include the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2012 for DeGeneres herself and multiple statuettes as a favorite television host.

Three producers exit 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' amid backstage turmoil

<p>Ellen DeGeneres' mother, Betty DeGeneres, has opened up about her daughter's claims that she was<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/ellen-degeneres-reveals-shocking-details-of-sexual-abuse-by-stepfather-on-david-letterman-show-222424"> sexually abused by her stepfather.</a></p>

<p>The American comedian and talk show host spoke about being sexually assaulted on David Letterman's Netflix talk show `My Next Guest Needs No Introduction`, by her mother's then-husband when she was a teen,&nbsp;</p>

<p>Believing the claims of Ellen, the 89-year-old said she loves her daughter, according to Fox News.</p>

<p>"I know now that one of the hardest things to do is speak up after being sexually abused," Betty said to NBC News.</p>

<p>"I love my daughter, and I wish I had the capacity to listen to her when she told me what happened."</p>

<p>"I live with that regret, and I wouldn't want that for any other parent. If someone in your life has the courage to speak out, please believe them," she added.</p>

<p>During her interview with Letterman, Ellen admitted the man reportedly touched her breasts.</p>

<p>"He told me when she (my mom)&nbsp;was out of town that he`d felt a lump in (my mother`s)&nbsp;breast and needed to feel my breasts because he didn`t want to upset her, but he needed to feel mine," she recalled.</p>

<p>"I`m angry at myself because, you know, I didn't - I was too weak to stand up to - I was 15 or 16. It's a really horrible, horrible story and the only reason I'm actually going to go into detail about it is because I want other girls to not ever let someone do that."</p>

<p>She continued, "We (women)&nbsp;just don't feel like we`re worthy, or we're scared to have a voice, and we`re scared to say no. That's the only reason I think it`s important to talk about it because there are so many young girls and it doesn`t matter how old you are. When I see people speaking out, especially now, it angers me when victims aren`t believed, because we just don`t make stuff up. And I like men, but there are so many men that get away with so much."</p>

<p>"It is just time for us to have a voice. It`s time for us to have power," the Emmy-winner added.&nbsp;<br />
