The COVID-19 “pandemic” did a lot of damage to our country, but one bit of good it did was expose phony hate-peddler Ellen Degeneres as the fraud we all knew she was.
There have been rumors about Ellen’s nasty and rude behavior and treatment of her staff for eons. But after she jilted her employees during the lockdown, they went public with the truth about her abusive behavior and the “racist” environment behind the scenes of the so-called “happy-go-lucky” show.
In reality, the atmosphere behind the scenes of the daytime talk show is dark and depressing, with Ellen setting the tone for a divisive and unfriendly work environment.
Plummeting ratings have fueled rumors that Ellen’s show is about to be canceled…and now those rumors have heated back up after 11 more employees (10 former and 1 current) have come forward with fresh new claims of abuse and bullying by the dancing Trump-hater.

Ten former and one current employee of Ellen’s talkshow claim they faced bullying and racism behind the scenes and that they were even fired for attending family funerals.
The show, which has been airing since 2003, has built a brand around the compassionate slogan of ‘Be Kind’, which ranges from dishing out cash to people who appear on the show and instituting wider charity initiatives.
However, many of the former staffers claim it’s ‘all for show’.
‘That ‘be kind’ bulls**t only happens when the cameras are on. It’s all for show,’ one ex-staffer told BuzzFeed. ‘I know they give money to people and help them out, but it’s for show.’
One black woman claimed she was the subject of racist micro-aggressions and abuse over an 18-month period.

One former employee added to the allegations, saying: ‘I think it is a lot of smoke and mirrors when it comes to the show’s brand.
‘They pull on people’s heartstrings; they do know that’s going to get likes and what people are going to go for, which is a positive message. But that’s not always reality.’
Another, who had been working on the show for a year, returned after being checked into a mental health facility following a suicide attempt to find that her position was terminated.
‘You’d think that if someone just tried to kill themselves, you don’t want to add any more stress to their lives,’ the employee said.

Another former employee said they had a tough year, in which they had to battle supervisors and HR for time off, but they were finally fired after a family funeral.
A current employee revealed, anonymously, that the show’s producers held a meeting with all staff to address the current allegations.
Earlier this month, producers for the show were forced to confirm that rumors about the show being cancelled amid multiple reports of unkind off-camera behavior were ‘untrue’.
DeGeneres has been slammed on social media after multiple reports surfaced in April painting an uncomfortable picture of the way she treats others when the cameras aren’t rolling.
Here’s a recap of what’s been going on with Ellen and her show:
It’s hard to see how Ellen’s show survives this. She may hang on by a thread for a bit, but I don’t see how she can withstand this brutal beating her brand has taken – not to mention people are tuning out, now that her nasty behavior has been confirmed.

Not to mention, Ellen has now found herself smack in the middle of a creepy online conspiracy theory involving Wayfair and “child sex trafficking,” thanks to her partnership with the furniture company.
It looks like Ellen’s goose is cooked.
