Ellen Degeneres Explains Why She’s Ending Her Show 

she is gonna talk with Oprah sometime this week

I was hoping Oprah was retiring too.

@@honeybunch5765 why?

@@AnaBotticelli she's just as bad as Ellen maybe even worse honestly

Ellen is the kindest celebrity that exists.

That's when I stopped watching

@@mitylene_bailey same here

@@mitylene_bailey why (i really dont know if anything happend)

Because of trump

@@dwho432 Nah. Because of ellen

After the scandal, Ellen remained in the top three ratings！

I would 100% still watch . Hope she takes a break and does a similar show for another network. Revamp it somehow so it’s something “new”.

@@sjoo8 Why? She's a bad person, uninteresting and unfunny. What makes her worth watching to you?

Right?!?!

Hit the nail on the head ! That's exactly when I turned my tv off . Haven't watched it since !!!

Wow Matt Lauer's co-host has time for an interview I thought you'd be too busy fighting off him his sexual advances for anything else

From her Fortress of Passive-Aggression.

That's what I was thinking it's almost funny

@Ba Oaic wrong forum 😄

@@Teabonesteak click bait is what that is called. They've done it in a thread up higher as well.

It's funny seeing a man-hating incel like Ellen be treated like an adult for the first time in her life think equality is misogyny. This woman is the embodiment of toxic femininity and white woman privilege.

Look out for prominent people chucking in their jobs...ie the NZ prime minister.. and all world leaders

I did not finish all world leaders. So many of them chuck in there jobs in 2018 remember Italy France NZ 16 world leaders resigned that year.

Exactly

@@tresnaforrester1489 What happened with NZ pm? Is she ok?

Female women in Hollywood that love to hate on men they don’t even know. Hate on their own staff. Where are all the Ellen fans?!?

if that's all you took from this interview, that is sad.

I’m with you. I’m a sensitive soul, so I noticed and felt that in my core! 😅

Yea, take everythg seriously and blame her.. all u got is find a reason to hate someone.

Oh, she'll recover.

@@miriamhavard7621 Not her reputation, no

It’s people like you that will be the reason she soars to the top! 19 seasons for employees to finally admit that they were being mistreated is crazy but all of them stayed because they were all getting PAID!!!

She owns up to nothing..

@DecrepitOrigin888 Lol nah she's on the hollywood left. She could have kept working, she's gonna do something else. Also she's taking no accountability and blaming men for what happened. "It was sexist?" "Yea." What a C***. The blame game culture. Then you have someone like louis C.K who admits and apologies for his actions, and someone like Woody Allen who doesn't own up to his serious actions, and so he can continue making films? This cancel culture is getting out of hand. People are getting canceled for the most innocent of comments, even if it's regarding covid or how they feel as a conservative in Hollywood, boom they're canceled. we don't hear eachother out anymore. Its OK to disagree or have a difference in opinion.. What happened to the first ammendment?

I mean yeah, but also guests were complaining like Nikki tutorials, Mariah Carey thing, etc...I actually think that I heard more allegations about how she treated her guests as sh*t than about the staff

@alien house its work

@@alexivy8732 Slavery and work aren't the same thing. Someone can work doing something that they love that doesn't even feel like work and no nobody should just be happy to have a job if it isn't right for them. Imagine someone being in a abusive relationship and someone else saying be happy I am single rofl, it is absurd!

@@jas7869 im not saying their the same, im saying, its a job, jobs are grueling and can be hard, obviously you should be kind to your coworkers, but stern

@@jas7869 and people should be happy to have a job, not being happy is taking it forgranted, many many people go without work and therefore money

I agree, she did a lots of things and a lot of kind stuff to people, she is wrong about treating her staffs in a bad way and she needs to take responsibility, but i hope people also realize that she also did kindness in world, shes also a human who makes mistakes and has a secrets

Wtf

can you give a list of what real good she did during the time of her show? you mention the world? it was just a business,,, she donated from companies that were paying her,,, which is why she mention the name of the donor ,,, is that doing good to the world or to help someone?

That's true and so scary she's in denial as well and nothing's ever her fault

She was not mean. Thats sarcasm, jokes etc

I think Ellen tried to be as honest as possible. Legit when she said the part about being oversensitive I believed that. She really does come across as someone who cares a lot what people think but doesn’t always understand what people think.

Why do you assume that she has been mean? I had my doubts before I saw this, but after many years, just because these allegations have come out recently, it doesn't mean they are true.

@@Fcycfvyvvyvtfutg well put

😆LOL

Adorable indeed..lol😂🤣😂

No she knows it’s her fault, but she won’t admit that or accept it yet

lol

:v.

its only because you wanted free things. extremely selfish.

Stubborn. Just not in her to do it. Bet she thinks it'll make her look weak.

Haha I died.

ellen is kind only to celebrities and people with power.

😂😂😂😂😂

I didn’t even know he managed french football team

It’s not kind to talk hatefully about others for your own pleasure. It hurts others. This type of bully can drive people to suicide. Shame on you!

Did I miss something?

Exactly what I was about to comment. She thrives on spotlight

Well said.

started at 45 ending at 19, worked for 17 year... Don't know what's in store in her future... Beep yourselfes... So much info here. I got a lot out of watching this evil dude(ette).

@@jimmyzatpeace3827 ummm

She’s a narcissist.

Of course she is. Anyone who has as much money as she does has to have at least a little bit of narcissism in them. She also married Portia who is 15 years younger than her, so that kind of shows where her head is at. I've personally never really liked her attitude and thought her being a CoverGirl was an absolute joke. Glad the truth came out, cause I'm sick of seeing her face.

She is such a narcissistic cretin

Yep. She’s the ol “humble bragger”

Always right.

Numerous staff members, both currently and previously employed by the show, made allegations of sexual misconduct, racism and bullying taking place.

What a pile of rubbish. She's a sanctimonious grandiose narcissist masquerading as a king empathetic person.

Anxiety and depression are not a game, especially anxiety because you have to struggle with the sympthoms 24/7

@@marcosvasquez9833 like her employees, for example

@@KS-hi8vi keep reposting

They can always leave

YES

I was thinking the same thing. lol

@@aleksandrabt9856 I think it’s the paycheck of a lifetime that kept some of her staff there, but most certainly not her personally. The show was so prestigious that likely everyone was handsomely paid. But from what I hear it was a revolving door of staff members. The mental stress just wasn’t worth the pay

Maybe they need a representative from the staff on here to be fair.

She was and still is being targeted. You are one example of that.

She was asked about workers. She answered

@@fatsilver5905 you could be very right. But think about this. Maybe you are the problem because you are a blind zombie follower. Just something to think about. Ellen shows how ignorant she is and she has learned nothing from her backlash. She plays the victim card or the lesbian card.

@@fatsilver5905 and you are the perfect exemple of the blind follower that keep believing your little celebrities bubble!! Watch real news not the corrupted ones and you’ll see everyone is making a joke of her bs excuses! By the way I’m from France and we got report here as well on her bs excuses...

She was being attacked, I mean my god people, you say that she is not kind and all of this but what are you proving to people, if anyone isn’t kind it’s you because you are sitting here attacking someone that honestly doesn’t deserve it. I mean I’m not saying Ellen is perfect and that she doesn’t make mistakes but think about how much joy she has brought to people around the world for decades. Really look at yourselves in the mirror and if you want a change then lead by example.

She meant that she created pressure by making them start before things were ready and she did not think about it. She realized that she was being inconsiderate. Saying hi to people would have created an environment where her staff felt that they could approach her when they were having problems and maybe she could have done more. She is owning that she should have done some things differently that could have prevented the issues that came up.

No we don't.

No we don’t, it’s time for her to retire 👏

What wrongdoing?

You think she was bad to her staff? I think she was just oblivious and trusted her producers to do the right thing so she wasn’t involved enough in her business. But a leader of a large organization can’t know what everybody is doing.

@@lynnekaluzniak1894 and also why are we making her the main center of target , there are lots of shows where this actually happens. She is wonderful lady who always supported people who needed support.

ellen is going just because of some disgrace people who made her the centre of target and said awful things, we should thank her from bottom of our hearts that she made us laugh even in our hard times. Lets use #ellendontgo #weloveyouellen and make this trending. It really hurts.

Well,she becomes the target because she is the boss and the buck stops with the boss. I admire her for being willing to be so honest and vulnerable. I think if she was mean to staff, she would come across as arrogant. She doesn’t.

Hello

😍🥰

Love your support but personally I think it's going to the wrong person. Ellen is one of the rudest celebrities, there is proof.

👍👍👍

No no and No

thats probably what aged her, the working hard to be fake nice

lol

If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all

@@jadenalston7489 I agree - Ellen should have taken that approach. 👍🏻

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vM_Ih9hyorE.html

Lmao she's in denial and plays the victim like how tf do u not know how u treat ppl 🤣 for YEARS on end lmao what a big joke

Funny she was running Abu Ghraib in the back of her show.

It's also a great example of the privilege gap between men and women and how men are oppressed and women aren't. Despite the fact that mens issues are rarely talked about, Ellen claimed "everyday is international men's day".

Women and young girls deserve better role models.

Right??!!!

Numerous staff members, both currently and previously employed by the show, made allegations of sexual misconduct, racism and bullying taking place.

I'm so glad she addressed the rumors. I never believed them. She's not only a trail blazer but a role model.

@@jenniferlawrence9473 Ignorance is bliss.

@@jenniferlawrence9473 😂😂😂

No

Oh my GOD, that was UNBEARABLE

Gahhhh I'm only 4 minutes in and I'm already cringing!! Very awkward vibes between these two...I mean Ellen's already awkward as a person, throw Savannah at her and holy crappppp...idk if I can handle the end if you said it gets more cringey!!!

Then I'm guessing you don't watch comedy? Lol

What was awkward about it

Both of those women are insufferable

Well, what would you do? Can you blame her?

It’s exactly what it is

@@Karime18 Well, yes. She brought this on herself.

that’s exactly what it is lmao

You mean a firing squad!!?

I’ve been an Ellen fan since she was first on tv with her comedy Show. But she has to answer for a serious toxic work environment and that has caused her to have to end her Show. Numerous staff members, both currently and previously employed by the show, made allegations of sexual misconduct, racism and bullying taking place.

@@KS-hi8vi the toxic work environment was not “caused” by her, if you read the real stories. She had an HR department that was not handling accusations of sexual harassment appropriately, but being Ellen the world believes she is more than a human being that was supposed to handle all of it and be intertwined in all of it. She was literally her own corporation. Yes, there are way to handle your own corporation, she could have handled hers differently, but was the “toxic” work environment on her- no.

Most of them comment because of the BTS interview. Honestly.

me too honestly.

@@ElleD88 me 3

A lot of tweets have been posted from the show. Find it and read it. Its interesting.

I disagree. She has done so much good that whatever the incidents were - I don't believe she knew about them. She's got people in charge who were hired to do a job and manage the 255 people. There are a lot of a-holes in the world and workplace who get bitter and jealous and cause trouble. The world and social media can be so cruel and just want to tear successful people down. I also think she has taken responsibility and has cleaned up her work environment. I think most work environments in Hollywood at that level probably need to be cleaned up.

Why is no one blaming Warner Brothers HR. They should of been taking care of these issues. These were not Ellen’s employees they were Warner Brothers employees.

@@vickij8417 Also she doesn’t employ the 250 people. They are all Warner Brothers employees. Warner should get all of the blame. It’s so sad that people don’t understand that The show is made and owned by Warner Brothers. It’s shot on the Warner lot and everyone including Ellen works for Warner Brothers.

@@zoot40n Agreed - but regardless, Ellen has a LONG track record of giving back to the community. She has shown her heart and her true self countless times, and she has also admitted that like ALL of us that most of us aren't always in a good mood. She's a BUSY person with a lot going on and I'm sure many of the employees want her direct attention, but most A-list type celebs are going to have people constantly wanting their attention. This whole thing is b.s. Just so tired of watching the media stir up hate and the bullying that social media has created. There is a lot of evil in this world to throw stones at the good people just seems pathetic. No one is perfect, but Ellen is not out to hurt anyone. She genuinely did want to use her platform to spread kindness. This doesn't mean that everyone in her life is going to agree with her and like her, just like all of us. Ugh. Just sad to constantly feel the negativity and hate around us each day, especially in the media and social media.

@@vickij8417 well mini Ladd is a lot of good for the community but no matter how good he is he will never be forgiven for being a predator

Absolutely, but it's both actually. I mean trying to make Mariah admit she was pregnant in a vile way... and then Mariah ended up having a miscarriage. Absolutely disgusting.

So👏🏽Very👏🏽True👏🏽

What about the child victims?? 😳😖 She has done great evil.

250 employees. That is always done over supervisor. Wake up people. I am German and had it in Germany, in English speaking Countries in American companies. She didn't do anything. She can't control everything.

@@NickiUn finally someone with common sense. as if she should be held accountable for everyone s actions in the show.

Your right! I never cared for this fake.I for one am glad she,s gone.good riddens.

what kind of logic is that? if she can't handle the personal responsibility of the scandal, she would've endded her show THIS season. Not the next season. As she said.

@@vendita2 Her multi-million dollars contract ends next year!

have to agree

It really wasn’t her choice 💅 but this makes her feel kind

😄😄😄

How do YOU speak? Are you a Earl's daughter or something?

I am so fortunate I didn't read this comment earlier, or I would be absolutely trashed right now.

Good call Lise👌😂

I'm not doing that

Maybe someday she will take responsibility for her actions.

If I had that many people working for me I probably wouldn’t know either because one it’s hard for people to speak out and the best thing that came out of the pandemic were people finally speaking up but all this was going on way before then, so I don’t think she failed I think she spoke her truth 🤷🏽‍♂️. Yes it’s her show but as a viewer I don’t blame her for not knowing because the things that came out are hard to speak about and I know from experience because I went through it in the army and tbh with the way my leadership was it was extremely tough speaking about it and when I did there was a whole investigation for over a year. But I didn’t blame my leadership either because there were so many soldiers in my company that did foul things And people were scared to talk about it but it doesn’t fall on my leaders because once I did speak up and others as well then they took the appropriate measures and I’m talking about everything from sexual assault to EO “Equal opportunity” complaints. So I feel as though she spoke her truth and there’s really nothing she could have done if she didn’t know. You can ask people are they ok or do they need to talk but at that point it’s on them to speak up because you can’t help if they don’t.

@@jeaniemarczniec7755 She did

Exactly how I feel. She came very shallow and blaming the others. So bad

There are school principals who have more than 250+ students, who know each kids name and story. Do better Ellen.

That doesn’t count here since she was always a meanie head

Ellen is the villain from the start, the more appropriate quote for her is "if you do not change, you become extinct"- Spencer Johnson

That quote isn’t that clever

@@keithmounirmanjoorsa4997 looks like you know people very well. Even when u don't know them personally

@@hemlataponnada ironic

Even when there are meetings you may not know. But a agree that communication is important.

She would've sent heads rollin'...

Skip levels are important

You know that the Ellen Show is not wholly owned by Ellen. All of the employees work for and are employed by Warner Brothers not Ellen. Warner HR should of taken all of the blame. It’s their supervisors and managers that created a toxic work environment. Ellen is just a host of a Warner Brothers talk show.

I’m

@Jujubees I also noticed too after Savanah finished interviewing Ellen, I could tell that Savanah felt so relieved just to get out of there!

I thought she was just being honest

Hi

@@Fcycfvyvvyvtfutg no she’s being faked

SO TRUE!!!

@@betsiecrother1443 absolutely, very true

And down she goes

She did give her staff kudos. BUT, it didn’t sound genuine. The whole interview seems forced.

So is this what you do go to ET youtube and now Today RU-vid and post the same comment?

They may not be able to because the employees probably signed an NDA contract.

Haha you drama lover. There cant be no true storie, its just a show, not a war

I would watch that documentary

@@DisneyCruiseShip maybe they can do a based on true stories doc series type of thing. Their has to be a loophole. Being shut into silence not good.

She's trying to practice the "teflon"/non-stick technique"...Sure she's been coached etc

Yeap she’s so fake!

@Savetion x711 LOL you must be confused or stupid because no one is crying. It's purely hilarious.

@Savetion x711 "😂👌🏻👍🏻"

Keep crying

Nice to see a kind comment on this thread. So many people are mean spirited, and"pile on" Ellen as if her loosing her show, somehow makes their pillorying of her okay.

Staff and many guests. What she did to Mariah C., was despicable.

How do you know that that's true

Innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.. I'm sure you guys heard of that.

The allegations are mostly about the 3 producers that were already fired. They're not even close to "all about her". I'm not saying that to stand up for her or anything because I haven't really ever been a fan of hers but, I find it extremely annoying when people make sweeping generalizations or deliberately go overboard with statements. Its ridiculous.

just like lizzo said

I didn't get that either. Like, why is she smiling the entire time...even when the questions are serious? It was bizarre.

Ratings

It could be a nervous tick sort of thing! Kinda like if someone is mad or upset, they start laughing, even though they don't find it funny.

I don’t think she can close her mouth fully

Because a pretty smile is needed/expected to be pretty, comforting and likable, especially for women. So like habit, she is partially a performer along with interviewers.

@@fashionista444 tons of people said she treated them like crap

Having three college buds that work on the production, there was tension, but not from Ellen. Those producers and certain supervisors were let go due to the hostile environment they created.

I was told 13 years ago by people who worked on her set, many of the things people claimed. No looking at her, speaking to her etc. She's a B, plain and simple.

It wasn’t just people from the show though. A former bodyguard said she didn’t even acknowledge his existence, a waitress said Ellen tried to get her fired bc she had chipped nail polish while serving her, her former housemaids said she would purposely hide things in obscure places to check they were cleaning every corner and they would go crazy trying to do so, etc. There have been rumors that for YEARS that she’s not very nice to “the little people”. Too many random stories to be orchestrated. Now she’s trying to play victim. But people don’t like a phony. You can’t sign off your show telling us to “be kind to one another” and then do the opposite.

“Too many people”. What people? Seriously, there were no first and last names EVER, they were just rumors, and MOST of those clips showing her being “rude” or whatever, were taken out of context for the most part. If someone can’t proof what they are saying of someone else, they’re just rumors. Gossiping, and you fell into the trap.

Give a rest nobody Give it a rest nobody went after the men who have talk shows some of them were very caustic but they got away with quite a lot they picked on her l give the lady and Portia and her sponsors and her staff a lot of credit they have done more for people than any show on tv give the people credit on her show they got a lot more class then some my best to Ellen and her people God bless you all

give it a rest its a show that's done more for everyday people l dont see them picking on any of the men who host shows on tv they get to pick people apart and say whatever they wish Ellen and her sponsors and her crew have done more for everyday people l wish Ellen and Portia and all the people who given me so much enjoyment these past years

I didn't watch the clip, only was skimming through some comments, and after reading yours I went to watch it, and now I'm blushing from how embarrassed I felt for them both!!! hahaha

@@mylizzycuevas Steve Harvey is so gross...but some people think he's funny...

Nice try Ellen!! Lmao

That was definitely not her finest moment.

How does misogyny play into this?!?

it's been that way at every place i worked. try it and you'll see why people don't do that. if you complain about a supervisor or other coworker, you have to be certain that you are more valuable and less replaceable than the person you are complaining about. because that person will never be punished or let go, unless they did something really bad (criminal) and you have hard proof.

@@do-hz4qb exactly

Surely there must be a HR dept. If you have a problem at work, you go and see them. At least, that's what I would do. Alot of these allegations don't sound true to me

What do you expect from plastic Ellen, kindness ?

Why?

YES! I am noticing this right now.

yaass

I caught that about Savannah she is being nice as a clever way to get information out of Ellen.

I dunno guys no disrespect but I didnt see any attitude from Ellen. Guess it's all in what your trying to see....

@@AllisonH8s OK watch again and just listen when Savannah asked her about retiring after 20 years and Ellen shares her attitude about retiring at 19. That’s what I’m hearing 🙈

Not only that....not only is scaring ppl childish, mean & selfish (zero consideration for the scaree & it being all about the satisfaction/entertainment of the scarer), but most importantly & significantly, it completely ignores the mental health implications & the very real possibility of exacerbating pre existing symptoms for ppl that have any mental health condition & if not that, at bare minimum the scarees embarrassment. It’s as toxic as so called initiation rites into college or high school or on a construction site - ignorantly defended as ‘just a joke’; rather than seen as what it is - harassment, bordering on bullying. She is actually a really yuck, gross person.

And interestingly enough she brings up pdiddy as the one person they were worried would hurt or punch someone when the dude literally just jumped out and started dancing after the clown pops up. SOMEONE SCARE ELLEN AND LETS SEE IF SHE REALLY ISNT SACARED OF ANYTHING.

Scaring people as a joke and laughing afterwards is bullying 😂 you two should become fox news commentators.

@@enisghtfool5159 it is bullying . Did the other person find it as funny as you did ? probably not. then for who's entertainment is scaring done ? not every "joke" is either seen as such despite how you mean to convey it nor is it funny.
