She admitted that she 'didn't know how to be a boss' despite being the face of her show, before reminding fans that she 'went to Charlie's Chuckle Hutt' not business school. 'It was so hurtful. I couldn't gain perspective. I couldn't do anything to make myself understand that it wasn't personal,' she explained. 'I just thought, 'Well this is not the way I wanted to end my career, but this is the way it's ending.' … I just hated the way the show ended.She confessed that she 'had a hard time' and 'didn't get out' much as she became a recluse after the scandal.
DeGeneres hopes her return to stand-up will inspire 'joy' amid a 'scary time' as she thinks the world needs 'more laughter and less drama.' 'What else can I tell you? Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business,' DeGeneres told the crowd at Club Largo as she poked fun at her downfall throughout the set; seen in 2020
The claims of Ellen's toxic work environment were revealed in a July 2020 by one current and 10 former employees of the daytime talk show who accused three executive producers, Ed Glavin, Mary Connelly and Andy Lassner, of 'bullying.' 'On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that The Ellen DeGeneres Show would be a place of happiness - no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect. Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case. And for that, I am sorry,' Ellen said in the memo.
Some claims included that staff are required to chew gum before speaking to her because of her 'sensitive nose', and that she polices staff lunch orders and bans anyone from eating fish or meat.
