BUtterfield 8 41,474 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hey everybody – it’s Ellen. On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that The Ellen DeGeneres Show would be a place of happiness – no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect. Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case. And for that, I am sorry. Anyone who knows me knows it’s the opposite of what I believe and what I hoped for our show. I could not have the success I’ve had without all of your contributions. My name is on the show and everything we do and I take responsibility for that. Alongside Warner Bros, we immediately began an internal investigation and we are taking steps, together, to correct the issues. As we’ve grown exponentially, I’ve not been able to stay on top of everything and relied on others to do their jobs as they knew I’d want them done. Clearly some didn’t. That will now change and I’m committed to ensuring this does not happen again. I’m also learning that people who work with me and for me are speaking on my behalf and misrepresenting who I am and that has to stop. As someone who was judged and nearly lost everything for just being who I am, I truly understand and have deep compassion for those being looked at differently, or treated unfairly, not equal, or – worse – disregarded. To think that any one of you felt that way is awful to me. It’s been way too long, but we’re finally having conversations about fairness and justice. We all have to be more mindful about the way our words and actions affect others, and I’m glad the issues at our show were brought to my attention. I promise to do my part in continuing to push myself and everyone around me to learn and grow. It’s important to me and to Warner Bros. that everyone who has something to say can speak up and feels safe doing so. I am so proud of the work we do and the fun and joy we all help put out in the world. I want everyone at home to love our show and I want everyone who makes it to love working on it. Again, I’m so sorry to anyone who didn’t have that experience. If not for COVID, I’d have done this in person, and I can’t wait to be back on our stage and see you all then. Stay safe and healthy. Love, Ellen https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/ellen-degeneres-sends-emotional-apology-to-staff-ep-ed-glavin-expected-to-depart-1234721495/?fbclid=IwAR2c-ri1xTGKoZLyq-g6ly3xyjNW8I_IDxUxQtq7dygCFxUEMfQboPitxqY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teletubby 150,264 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 she says sorry but 17 minutes ago, Blue Lagoon said: I’m so sorry to anyone who didn’t have that experience. If not for COVID, I’d have done this in person, and I can’t wait to be back on our stage and see you all then. Why she couldn't record a video? It could be more in person than this statement. If she really wants to say sorry in person to everyone with bad experience then it'll take her 100 year... "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix 1,485 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 LMAO Love when celebrities and corporations come out and start talking about the "long overdue conversations" they're having... just say you're doing nothing and keep it pushing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumours 45,521 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 While it’s good she is taking some responsibility, it is unfortunate that she doesn’t apologize for any of her own behavior that has been called out directly by staff. The problem was more to many than her not being able to handle the empire expanding or to properly manage people doing their jobs due to time constraints.

AsleepOnTheCeiling 6,420 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Such an interesting apology because she kept her mouth shut for months hoping it would blow over. Anybody that was genuinely sorry would have been on top of the issue. And she's acting like it's just among her staff and she doesn't know what's happening. It's not like it was an isolated incident limited to her show. Dozens of people at this point have called her out for her sh!tty attitude. Smh.

MessyTop 14,389 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 She’s still a bitch. Basically “I’m sorry I got caught” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyVersace 9,029 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Kind of an apology about the behavior of people below her, no? I'm so sick of this "listening and learning" bullshit. Be a good person, be kind, and take accountability. Period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
