'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' is the subject of an internal probe by Warner Media after reports of a toxic work environment, a source close to the production says.
In response to the article, a Warner Bros. Television spokesperson told Variety, “Our executive producers and Telepictures are committed to taking care of our staff and crew and have made decisions first and foremost with them in mind.” The studio also said that the crew has been paid consistently, though at reduced hours.
She said when she asked producers not to use offensive phrases like"spirit animal" in scripts, her colleagues called her"the PC police." She eventually left work one day and never came back. "The biggest common thread that everyone told me is that what goes on behind the scenes is a far cry from what the show represents in their 'be kind' messaging and what the show and what Ellen DeGeneres herself profits off of," Krystie Lee Yandoli who reported the piece for BuzzFeed News, said on"TODAY" in an interview that aired Tuesday.
"Over the course of nearly two decades, 3,000 episodes, and employing over 1,000 staff members, we have strived to create an open, safe, and inclusive work environment," the statement said."We are truly heartbroken and sorry to learn that even one person in our production family has had a negative experience. It’s not who we are and not who we strive to be, and not the mission Ellen has set for us.
