#Ellen #EllenDegeneres #TheEllenShow
I wish this was an Oprah interview. " Were you being unkind..or are you unkind?"
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.
The reality is she decided to call it quits because (1) her ratings have crashed and (2) her "nice girl" persona has been damaged over allegations of staff mistreatment.
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?!?
"Was it a hard decision to make?" Actually, it was decided for her. She could continue, but no one would be watching her.
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?
"Shouldn't you know what was going on in the background of your own show?" asks Matt Lauers' co host
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
She thinks she made the decision to cancel the show. That's adorable. Lol
😆LOL
Adorable indeed..lol😂🤣😂
No she knows it’s her fault, but she won’t admit that or accept it yet
lol
:v.
Ellen : “be kinder” Ellen’s staff: “You first”
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!
I like how she almost fought the interviewer over a number 😆😂
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.
Did she learn a new word? Makes me emotional, in an emotional way, with my emotional attitude.
the lesson she didn't learn is humility. hard to watch
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
It’s funny seeing Ellen interviewed on her own show.
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.
250 employees, but the allegations were agains the guys at the top who were in touch with her if not on daily most likely on a weekly basis. Why deny your own responsibility and pretend that she was clueless! The worst approach, that guarantees she will not recover
She's human and as women we are always expected to be perfect. However, she has done so much good in the world yet the negative is always what is spoken the loudest. I focus on the good she has done and know that she does not have to be perfect. Congratulations Ellen on your career, your show, and on not retreating!
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?
You can treat celebrities on your show with a big smile, welcoming attitude, awe and respect. But it's the way you treat those who are not the celebrities - the staff, all of the behind the scenes staff - that really shows your character.
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.
This is like resigning before being fired.
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!!?
Honestly, I've been dealing with harassment for 5 years. I can't believe how people can spin the truth. Glad I watched this.
Perfect illustration of ’treat people the way you want to be treated’. Imagine if she had treated her staff the way she treated many of her celebrities. This would have never happened.
She's ending her show because she can't handle the personal responsibility of the scandal.
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
Notice how Ellen says her GUESTS tell her how happy her staff is. She's totally out of touch.
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
This was a great interview. Savannah asked all the right questions and delivered them in such a way that landed on Ellen to respond well.....tbh, pushing Ellen on elaborating on the scandal allegations takes a certain poise. Ellen does not historically respond well to accusations....I also believe that those allegations had everything to do with her pulling the trigger on ending the show. Things like this have their run...What's that quote? Something like die a hero before you die a villain?....It's time.
Ellen has changed thousands of lives, emotionally and financially. All of the people saying nasty things on here can never imagine to do the kind things she has done.
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.
She never took responsibility on everything. Listen to her answers, she loves herself very much. She’s egoistic.
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.
She didn't know that she was being a mean person, typically that's what narcissistic person thinks.
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
The young girl definitely seemed like she doesn’t care for Ellen 😂
My heart is so broken that she's Ending Her Show. My Whole life i wanted to be able to come on the show. But now its too late.. This sucks. But I hope she has more good things coming towards her.
its only because you wanted free things. extremely selfish.
i feel like this show ended 3yrs ago
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
Guests talking about a happy atmosphere is VERY different than the atmosphere staff work in.
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.
Glad I stumbled upon this interview. How anxiety, depression and people pleasing affects your life. I am learning the same thing. Thank you for sharing Ellen.
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
lol so her biggest take away from reflecting on creating an abusive environment is that she’s very punctual and should say hi more often…
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.
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
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
She was never gonna recover from all the allegations. The show was never gonna be the same now that everyone knows what was going on behind the scenes.
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'm sure Ellen is making all her choices for the good of herself and mankind.
They both handled that interview with such grace and class. Well done ladies.
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
She took no accountability
Stubborn. Just not in her to do it. Bet she thinks it'll make her look weak.
Every guest says great things. And didn't mention her workers.
She didn't learn a thing. She thinks she was being targeted.
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.
"Or your rich, and you do t have those kind of problems". Oh no she didn't just say that?! SMH. Poor rich lady, how hard her life must be! I sure hope she can make rent next month. 🙄
The world needs Ellen! Best wishes in your next venture❤️
No we don't.
No we don’t, it’s time for her to retire 👏
I wanna hear a "SURVIVING The Ellen Show" Let us hear the stories once the show is over.
So is this what you do go to ET youtube and now Today CZcams 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 prob relieved cause now she doesn’t have to pretend to be nice anymore.
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. 👍🏻
czcams.com/video/vM_Ih9hyorE/video.html
I feel like these comments some people didn’t really listen to what she’s saying
19 years of bullying 🙁🙁🙁
I’m sorry but she failed to take any responsibility on the allegations about *her,* not just her staff. She removed all sense of ownership and accountability with the “255 staff members” speech.
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.
"What workplace issues? My guests say everything is perfect!" Great logic by this deluded millionaire.
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??!!!
Ellen, sorry to hear this. Clearly, jealousy is at the root of the hate directed at you. Good luck!
End this show already. End it. Periodt.
“I don’t have to remind you”...
Jumps right in and reminds her hahah
Hello
She's not addressing her own behaviour. I can't tolerate people like her, who don't have the integrity or moral compass to admit to their individual wrongdoing. So many celebrities like this who adamantly deny their atrocities. Just effing own up to stuff.
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.
Ellen made me laugh during difficult times.
Ellen, I know I'm just one person, but I've been a fan and will always be a fan. You remember the saying, "You Can't Please Everyone". There's always someone who is jealous, feels left out, etc. You bring happiness to 99% of people, all over the world. The others, probably don't want to be happy. We can't fix them. I can't wait to see what you do next. Peace, love and much dedication as a fan. FOR LIFE!!!
😍🥰
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
That last moment was probably the most awkward ending to an interview I've ever seen ever.
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
I want to hear from the people who worked there.
me too honestly.
@@ElleD88 me 3
A lot of tweets have been posted from the show. Find it and read it. Its interesting.
It’s nice to hear Ellen speak plainly while being her and not a host where she spotlights someone else. She’s a comedian and a great talk show host but she’s a person first. I wish her well and much personal happiness in the next season of her life. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank You Elen For Making These Good And Cheering Videos Im Crying We Will Completely Miss You You Made My Chilhood
She keeps brushing it off like it's somebody's fault when the allegations are all about her treating her staff badly. I guess that's really so hard to admit in real life. The truth hurts.
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’m a people person..”. But just don’t look her in the eyes!
Shes a good interviewer. Very tactful yet asked all the questions needed.
Ellen God knows your heart ❤️. Shame on those who don’t stay in their own lane. You and your wife will get through this. Keep the faith. Focus on the good! It’s there. God bless you and your family. Tracy
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.
One thing I have learned is that the big wigs should have meetings with employees without their immediate supervisors present to ensure they are happy and being treated right.
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
She's not taking responsibility for any of the allegations or acknowledging she may have done wrong.another celebrity narcissist who blames everyone else but acts like they're perfect
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
With all due respect Ms Guthrie .. odd number? As Ellen responded 'who cares'.
Glad she pointed that out.
Best wishes to you Ellen in whatever in you on do next.
You made me laugh alot.
Going to Miss Ellen’s show. I will never forget how many days I was in bed in so much physical & emotional pain & completely lost & depressed & the Ellen show would come on & she would come out dancing & make me laugh! Then she would surprise these people with home makeovers & remodels & I would be so touched by her kindness & generosity. These people will never forget her. In a recent act of generosity & kindness she helped a whole family with internet as they were leaving their house each day & sitting in their vehicle to have access to internet. I don’t know Ellen personally & it’s not my place to judge her. Love you Ellen & thank you for all that you do to help others & for all the laughter . Whenever I need a good laugh I know where to go 😀😆🤗
I always find it hard to trust those who absolutely want to be seen as kind, empathetic and close to people. I find it weird that they need to convince the audience by saying it over and over.
Kind of like when people say “I’m a Christian” well actions definitely speak louder than words...
Exactly! Who are they trying to convince? Themselves.
it makes sense those who do don't say while those who say don't do
Biden repeats the same narrative about himself. U are so right!!
privileged little boy eh lol
"I didn't have a platform to respond to it [the controversy in 2019]." Um... do you think we're that idiotic? Wow.
I heard many people who have worked with her , said Ellen is very mean to not respect her employee, very different with what she presents before the public.
Thank you so much for your patience with us and watching your show made joy to our daily life go on with a smile and laughter 😃😆🤣😍🥰👏💐🥂🍾
"I..."
"I..."
"I..."
Never even considers thanking her staff that actually helped her.
And down she goes
She did give her staff kudos. BUT, it didn’t sound genuine. The whole interview seems forced.
Why Savanah seems so happy when the topic is sensitive and emotional 😭?
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.
I commend her on all her work that she has done with people that don't have a platform, that don't have the light on them, that are going through their everyday life motions and helping people. Ellen has shone a light on many of these people. Helped people with no homes, etc - let's not forget that. We are all human, we're not robots, we make mistakes, we can be kind people that make mistakes too. Before you judge others, make sure that your own 'house' is in perfect working order - I'm sure it will never be - so don't expect other's to be either.
Whatever.
Perfectly said! People walking around like they are perfect. I have no doubt she DID HER BEST!
@@emarzilli she did her best bullying people yea your right
🤮
The reward from all the malice is zero. 200 plus employees will not have jobs now. Do these people think about other than themselves?
Her jittery shrugging and darting eyeballs when she starts talking about the allegations says a lot....if you're so kind you don't need to constantly try to remind people.
She is failing to acknowledge that many other people accused her of bad treatment, not just her staff. Too many people came forward so I doubt there was no truth to it. But the show itself was great.
@@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.
Will miss her she is a great hostess so sad but l wish her all the best,thank you for the all you have done you are a kind person, never forget you have a lot of fans,😢💔🙏
All I heard from this video was " You know....you know....you know"
The fact that out of 255 people no one could/felt they could come to her and say something, says enough.
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.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable going to my CEO.
@@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
@@hamburgcowboy Then HR reports to her and then she fires them. HR is never about the person who employs you. It's about the people you work with.
People who are real kind, don’t boast about it and rub it in yo face.
I thought she was just being honest
Hi
@@Fcycfvyvvyvtfutg no she’s being faked
SO TRUE!!!
@@betsiecrother1443 absolutely, very true
She stopped because of the allegations of workplace abuse against her and her team 😔. We❤️Ellen thanks for everything.
We love Ellen exactly as she is!!!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
God bless Ellen , Portia, her mum, her brother, her friends and her animals.
Are you mentally slow???
Take a shot everytime you hear "You know." 🥴🥃
😄😄😄
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
Elen trying to make it seem like she cared about her staff was the funniest thing ever 🤣🤣🤣
She's good at evading tho I'll give her that
I think she would have cared if it had occurred to her/been brought to her attention.
Did u work for her? If not, then how do u know?
What do you expect from plastic Ellen, kindness ?
Why?
This is the most sincere interview I have watched.
You will be the light anywhere you go!!
Best of everything to you!
Ellen: Be kinder... 😳 Ellen’s employee’s: Tell it to yourself🤷🏻♀️
we don't know!!!!
@@ThePrincessShahrzad you don’t know? All theses people speaking out’s experiences don’t tell you anything? You’re celebrity worshiping . Don’t get attached to ppl on t.v. It’s a persona
Ellen needs to practice what she preaches!
“I am a kind person.” *doesn’t let staff LOOK HER IN THE EYES. ok honey
How do we know thats true?
She’s insane.
@@c.u.28 dis=like
This is the same kinda trash you women look up to. You are Hippocrates.
@@jcap8391 Wtf
❤️Ellen. Thank you for years of funny, lighthearted time, and spotlight on important issues we forget to remember.
And showing the world how not to treat people.
gross
Great interview. Would have liked more appreciation shown to her at the end. She needs to know not everyone listens to gossip and her character shines through. Thank you fir all the joy and love you have shared, Ellen. You are courageous beyond the cutting edge.♥️
It’s not gossip when it’s factual evidence that she’s a fraud
@@brandonscott3423 where's your factual evidence? She's always been a great person. Just because some don't agree with her lifestyle. Too bad. Get over it.
The most uncomfortable interview I have ever watched. But it was so uncomfy I couldn’t look away
Looking at her body language and she’s lying about stuff…
@@IvanRodriguez-uu4zn As she should, honesty will never get you anywhere when people have already made up their mind about you.
@@vb8428 so Ellen was nasty but its ok to lie about it on this interview....because "honesty will never get you anywhere".
Do you realise how fcked up you and your world view is.
Imagine if you were right...the whole world needs to lie to each other....is that a better world ???
I prefer a world honesty, where we are honest, we know and understand each other, and use that honesty to embrace our differences so we can live in harmony with each other.
Being honest goes hand in hand with being true to yourself, With that comes many more positives...understanding, strength, compassion, openness, trust, ...you get the jist. The way you overcome someone with who has made up their mind...first include them, gain their trust, share with them your thoughts....reason with them from a good point (honesty and integrity).
Please change your world view...its a losing philosophy.
@@borntodoit8744 Nah, i know how fvcked up you Internet warriors are in convicting anyone
the entire entertainment industry is highly toxic. i doubt her workplace was any more or less toxic than the other talk shows. that's the major problem. and I guarantee you she was in her own little glass cage and it would have been insanely difficult if not impossible for any employees to get a meeting with her. there are HR Departments. Head of HR -- where is he/she? They should be held responsible. Ellen's name is on the door, but she's like the Lead Actor. She has a team of Executive Producers, show runners, she's in hair make up, wardrobe fittings, pixar movies to voice, there's a staff of Ellen show writers, there are rehearsals, there are promos, meetings, consults, collaborations. It is totally believable that she would have no idea about the culture of the studio. She was outside the culture. Departments upon Departments. And of course she doesn't have the time to meet everyone, are you kidding? That's why she has Managers, Producers, Supervisors, HR Department. Hold them responsible. The studios pay Ellen. The studio pays the crew. The studio signs the paychecks. Ellen doesn't sign the paychecks.
That is exactly true. HR is where staff should feel safe. Ask any employee of any company if that is true.
We will miss you and show.You not only had a great sense of humor but always so kind and generous.
Compassionate and joy always.wishing you the vest!
I had a boss like this once. I had no personal issues with her, so not saying this to be disparaging; but she too treated our constituents and stake-holders wonderfully, but she would belittle her subordinates, make them cry, and everyone walked on eggshells around her. She was truly disliked by many people, but then totally blindsided and hurt when her position got reworked and she was not even considered for the newly formed role. The point to this is that I don't think Ellen is a bad person, but seems lacking in self-awareness.
true, there are people like that, sometimes they dont who know they are
Is it just me or was Savannah trying desperately to be as sweet as can be to get Ellen to be nicer but Ellen didn’t budge she kept the attitude the whole time. I felt so bad for Savannah. Was that just me or did anybody else feel that way?
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 🙈
And finally, the coup de grace - it’s “we” when she talks about failure and the show’s falling ratings. Unbelievable.
The show had excellent ratings until they attacked her. Nothing not one complaint for 17 years Not one!!!!! Not one!!!!!!!

Millions love you like I do. So enjoyed your show, your humor, your banter and connection with tWitch. Thank you for highlighting hundreds of special, talented people. You been a turning point in the lives of so many. Loved that you ended each show with "be kind", Wish you love, safety, love and luck.
Ellen did put out a great show that will be missed by many.
I do wish that when Savannah said, "Those were real tears" when she said Ellen's prank really scared her and was not funny, that Ellen heard her. That's where empathy and kindness come in. When you respect what someone says. But Ellen says, "Come on it was funny." That's gaslighting. A lot of people don't like being scared and it's not funny just because you think so. But Savannah was too nice to keep pushing but I'm glad she said something. I still think Ellen did do a lot of great things with her show. I hope she learns from this. I will still miss it.
@Jujubees I also noticed too after Savanah finished interviewing Ellen, I could tell that Savanah felt so relieved just to get out of there!
With Ellen's minimizing Savannah's comment about the scares, that tells you a lot. One of these days she'll scare the wrong person...
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. Not nearly enough people understand that
And to disagree doesn't mean that you have no sense of humour either it means you have self confidence and standards
@@vvelvettearss its only bullying when it threatens the political beliefs rolling around in a TDS infected brain.
"I don't have to remind you." *Goes on reminding her of everything that happened.* LOL.
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
How many times did she say emotional?
Why "She" ended the show ? LOL, so funny
She has already said that she had signed a 3 year contract. The decision was hers.
She shouldn’t stop her show!! And not give in to all the backlash she got for whatever reasons. She brought so much happiness to so many people!! The countless lives she changed by her giving back and not just holding on to her own things. Who’s going to bring on the people that act and we get to see them live and being themselves. Bummer.
Savannah Guthrie was wayyy of in this interview, she was so awkward. Not usually like her. She even ended it weird.
I think she took an edible
I don’t think she was awkward. Savannah is known for being tough. I think she read the room and recognized that Ellen had to start over 20 years ago. Ellen’s seeing the consequences of going as hard as she did. Savannah didn’t need to go in on her as if she was someone else.
There’s were several moments where Savannah subtly dogged Ellen but did it…comedically?
Maybe Ellen was awkward and Savannah worked with that? If she wasn’t “awkward” whatever that is to you, this interview wouldn’t have happened.
I’m not familiar with her so I don’t know what she’s typically like but this felt weird.
@@baileepaddock1017 8
Agreed. I think she was struggling to follow-up and dig deeper. Weird vibes
Wow, she takes no accountability. The allegations were about you Ellen. She trying to place the blame on her staff. She was the one who treated people like crap. And was the toxic person. Nobody is out to get Ellen for any other reason. It’s not weird that all the allegations come at once. It usually takes a brave person to speak out first. She’s delusional.
Just SHUT UP. You people are so ungrateful. May be she is really innocent. I will remember her as someone who gave us years of entertainment, made us laugh for years.
@@percyweasley9301you shut up. she isn't innocent lol she was awful and got what she had coming.
@@danvitty5442 you shut up
Indeed. She is very much in denial too
@@percyweasley9301 no Karen no. Go sit down.
I don't know why people are so mean to someone that just wants to make people happy. It's weird and it doesn't make sense. Ellen, your book was hilarious and pulled me out of a dark depression. Thank you for being you. Never give up! Please ❤
I agree.. wtf do people expect her to be? An angel? We all have flaws as human beings. She has helped so many people. I hate the fact that people immediately hate on her and try to cancel her when the accusations came out.
Don’t stop spreading kindness or stop being a giving person because of others and their deeds ain’t ! This world needs more giving and kind people like you , laughter is good medicine and you give it freely more than some ! It’s sad to many because your leaving the show ! You help people more than some in Gods own kingdom and body ! Don’t let the enemy put your light out ! Keep being your kind and giving self ! Your in my prayers !
