The former host of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' opened up about losing her talk show after 19 years following negative reports that damaged her reputation.
Ellen DeGeneres opened up about the toxic workplace scandal that derailed her career and damaged her reputation in 2020, during her first return to the comedy stage this week. During a stand-up routine in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the former host of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' reflected on getting 'kicked out of show business' for being 'mean.' 'What else can I tell you?' she sarcastically told fans, according to Rolling Stone.
The year of brutal headlines damaged the host’s reputation, leading to DeGeneres announcing the end of her show in 2021 and apologizing to staff. The final episode aired in May of 2022. On Wednesday, DeGeneres said that the damage from these allegations turned her into a 'one-dimensional character who gave stuff away and danced up steps.
DeGeneres confessed the backlash she faced took a toll on how she viewed herself. 'It’s been such a toll on my ego and my self-esteem. There’s such extremes in this business, people either love you and idolize you or they hate you, and those people somehow are louder,' she said. After her set, during an audience Q&A, the comedian turned more somber when reflecting on how her show ended.
