The Ellen DeGeneres Show‘, known for celebrity interviews, feel-good stories, and audience giveaways, concluded its 19-year run in 2022 after allegations of a toxic workplace environment. Accusations from former employees painted a picture of a show far removed from its on-air persona.  

DeGeneres, the face of the show, became the target of public scrutiny. In her stand-up routine, DeGeneres acknowledges the “hurtful” nature of the criticism. Additionally, She spoke about the blow to her ego, of feeling confused by the sudden shift in public perception. “I got kicked out of show business. There’s no mean people in show business,” she said.

DeGeneres also took responsibility for her actions and acknowledged where the accusers were coming from. “I’m in a position of privilege and power and I take responsibility for what happens at my show,” she said.

Ever since the end of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ Ellen has remained out of the public eye due to the nature of its end. She talked about not wanting to look at the news and being labeled as “The ‘be kind’ girl wasn’t kind” by the outlets.

Despite the challenges, DeGeneres’ return to stand-up suggests a desire to move forward. Humor has always been her weapon of choice, and perhaps by revisiting her comedic roots, she can reclaim a sense of control over the narrative. This controversy serves as a cautionary tale about the ever-shifting tides of public opinion.
