Ellen DeGeneres was just hit with yet another humiliating setback as reruns of her eponymous talk show have been removed from Australia’s popular Nine Network television channel and replaced with “Desperate Housewives.”

Over the past few weeks, dozens of current and former employees of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” have come forward to accuse the host of turning a blind eye to racism, intimidation, and sexual misconduct on the set of the show. In the wake of these claims coming to light, a spokesman for Nine Network confirmed to Fox News that reruns of the show have been removed from air.

“Discussions are on-going concerning new episodes of ‘Ellen,'” the spokesperson said, referring to the show’s upcoming 18th season. “We are currently resting ‘Ellen’ repeats on Nine and have replaced [them] with ‘Desperate Housewives,’ but should our viewers want their daily ‘Ellen’ fix, repeats will screen weekdays on 9Gem.”

Nine Network is one of the most popular television networks in Australia, which is the home country of Portia de Rossi, Degeneres’ wife. The channel is home to shows like Australia’s “Today” show, “60 Minutes,” “Australian Ninja Warrior,” “The Voice” and more.

This comes one month after a producer on Australia’s “Today” show spoke out to reveal the alleged bizarre demands DeGeneres had while appearing on the show.

“She’ll come in, she’ll sit down, she’ll talk to Richard and then Ellen will leave,’” Neil Breen remembered her staff telling him. “And I sort of said, ‘I can’t look at her?’ I found the whole thing bizarre.”

Last week, DeGeneres reportedly broke down during a Zoom call with over 200 employees in which she admitted that she is “not perfect.” She also said that she has realized that in the effort for the show to run as a “well-oiled machine,” sometimes leaders were not as sensitive to “human beings” as they should have been.

The seasoned talk show host reportedly went on to say that reading the disturbing allegations about the toxic atmosphere on the show was “heartbreaking.”

Despite everything that has happened, sources say that DeGeneres said many times on the call that she was “proud” of the show’s success, and that the program would “come back strong” next month.

“This will be the best season we’ve ever had,” DeGeneres said.
