For instance, Ellen previously released a memo to employees during the investigation. Part of it read, “On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ would be a place of happiness — no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect.”

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.”

Reports say that ratings for The Ellen DeGeneres Show keep declining. Only time will tell if the changes will make a difference. Hopefully, things improve for the staff at the show!
