Brad Garrett called out Ellen DeGeneres over her apology to staff, noting that stories of the allegedly toxic work environment on her daytime talk show were “common knowledge.”
After numerous accusations from current and former employees of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” about a toxic work environment prompted WarnerMedia to launch an internal investigation, the host herself finally spoke out in a memo to staff.
“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,” she began. “Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case. And for that, I am sorry. Anyone who knows me knows it’s the opposite of what I believe and what I hoped for our show.”
Warner Bros. offered a statement to Fox News on Thursday, explaining that they “take the recent allegations around the show’s workplace culture very seriously.”
