Brad Garrett Calls Out Ellen DeGeneres For Treating People 'Horribly'

One current and 10 former Ellen Show employees spoke to Buzzfeed for the article.

Some employees claimed they were fired after taking medical leave or bereavement days, while others said they were told not to speak to Ellen if she was around the office.

"If she wants to have her own show and have her name on the show title, she needs to be more involved to see what's going on,” another former employee suggested.

The talk show released an apology to her employees that was made public by Variety.

She continued: "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."

"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."

He took to Twitter in response to Variety's tweet to say actually no to Ellen's claims that she was essentially unaware of the toxic work environment.

"Know more than one who were treated horribly by her. Common knowledge," he concluded.

One fan commented that Brad was a guest on Ellen's show multiple times, and questioned why he would appear on her show if he knew how "horribly" she treated her staff.

"I'm not defending Ellen I'd just like to know how you define horrible because it is a pretty strong word to define treatment," GeeksRul3 wrote.

A handful of former employees accused head writer and executive producer Kevin Leman of sexual misconduct, with one saying: "It’s masked in sarcasm, but it’s not sarcasm."

The article also claimed the senior producers would regularly make sexually explicit comments in the office, stating many of the victims were "lower-level and younger employees who felt they lacked any power to speak up."

Ellen has yet to comment on this new series of allegations.
