Скачать или смотреть Ellen DeGeneres Show' Season 18 premiere sees positive ratings following toxic workplace scandal

DeGeneres immediately addressed the scandal as her show opened on Monday.

“As you may have heard this summer, there were allegations of a toxic work environment at our show and then there was an investigation. I learned that things happened here that never should’ve happened,” she began.

She continued: “I know that I'm in a position of privilege and power and I realized that with that comes responsibility, and I take responsibility for what happens at my show.”

The talk show host then addressed some of her flawed behavior by saying that she is a “work in progress.”

A spokesperson for Warner Bros. confirmed to Fox News in August that executive producers Ed Glavin and Kevin Leman and co-executive producer Jonathan Norman "have parted ways with" the show after WarnerMedia launched an internal investigation into the allegations.
