The return of Ellen DeGeneres … apologizing for the “mistakes”

The American presenter, Ellen DeGeneres, responded for the first time to the allegations of prevailing harassment in the work environment that affected her program, admitting that there had been “slip-ups” and confirmed that “the necessary changes” would be made. In the first episode of the eighteenth season of her show “The Ellen Show”, DeGeneres apologized and spoke about the need to make “necessary changes” and “open a new page.”

“I knew things that shouldn’t have happened,” said the 30-year-old Emmy award-winning broadcaster who revived the Oscars in 2007 and 2014. I take the matter very seriously and want to express my regrets for those concerned. ” “I don’t think I have been able to cheat on you every day for 17 years,” he added. The truth is that I really am the person you see on television. ”
There has been much criticism of the well-known “Eileen” talk show about staff management methods since the broadcast was cut off in mid-March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
And in mid-April 2020, Freight magazine reported that members of the show’s technical staff had complained that production curators had resumed filming at Ellen DeGeneres’ home without a majority of the members. And last July, BuzzFeed released a report, based on testimonials from former members of the program’s staff, that revealed the “toxic” work environment. This report did not include any testimony that personally accused DeGeneres, although some considered that it could not be completely exempt from these criticisms.
The allegations tarnished DeGeneres, the 62-year-old former comedian whose NBC show focuses on the values ​​of kindness and humanity with the slogan Be Kind. After months of speculation about the possibility of canceling the show, Eileen, who has not made a comment since the controversy broke out, responded to the accusations. It should be noted that three of the producers mentioned in the Buzzfeed Report were fired last month.
