Warner Bros. said that an investigation was conducted, prompting forthcoming staffing changes and other measures to deal with the issues raised.
, DeGeneres said she was disappointed to learn that people working on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” were not treated with respect. Earlier this month, a BuzzFeed News report detailed accusations of racism, fear and intimidation on the job, citing interviews with nearly a dozen current and former staff members.
“I could not have the success I’ve had without all of your contributions. My name is on the show and everything we do and I take responsibility for that. Alongside Warner Bros, we immediately began an internal investigation and we are taking steps, together, to correct the issues,” she continued. “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. That will now change and I’m committed to ensuring this does not happen again,” she said.
“Though not all of the allegations were corroborated, we are disappointed that the primary findings of the investigation indicated some deficiencies related to the show’s day-to-day management. We have identified several staffing changes, along with appropriate measures to address the issues that have been raised, and are taking the first steps to implement them. Warner Bros. and Ellen DeGeneres are all committed to ensuring a workplace based on respect and inclusion.
