By “it,” the 62-year-old is of course referring to the allegations of the show having a “toxic” working environment behind the scenes. And while little was levelled against DeGeneres herself, she too was accused of inadvertently allowing the behaviors of senior figures.

Hopefully nobody watches and it’s cancelled.
I don’t wish anyone no harm but enough is enough. She’s a hypocrite. She keeps blaming it on her team because she can’t overlook anything but never adresses critics about her own disrespectful behavior. Bye already.
You see anything to save a white woman. This show should be cancelled.
Problematic, insufferable d***
