Ellen’s Sofia’s support comes as the day’s host celebrated damage control after a rough summer, which saw her public persona range from the benevolent funny woman to behind-the-scenes queen of moons.
On Thursday, Variety reported that DeGeneres was “increasing staff benefits” such as paid sick leave and a better medical leave policy for employees, after several reports surfaced last month of disgruntled workers claiming a toxic work environment and even instances of racism and sexism.
The measures include ‘increased paid leave and a liberal medical care policy’ and already have the desired effect of boosting morale, an insider said.
An internal investigation into the allegations is being conducted by WarnerMedia, along with claims of a simultaneous internal investigation by DeGeneres himself.

So far, three top producers have been fired by Ellen as a result of the WarnerMedia investigation.
In addition, last Monday, she apologized to his staff in the emotional video call, and also denied rumors that they would not let her in the eye.
The research was first sparked by a Buzzfeed exposure in the show last month.
The July 16 article made public claims by one current and 10 former employees of Ellen’s talk show who said they experienced racism, fear and intimidation while accusing the long-running series of works and accusing producers of bullying.
The show then came up for additional allegations of sexual abuse in a second BuzzFeed News article on July 30, in which dozens of men and women accused Leman, Glavin and Norman of sexual harassment, abuse or assault.
