Ellen DeGeneres stepped out for the first time as her The Ellen DeGeneres Show came under fire. Her syndicated talk show is the subject of controversy as multiple individuals claimed there was misconduct on the show’s set.
Recently Ellen DeGeneres is keeping her head held high as controversy continues to swirl around her talk show.
The 62-year-old popular show host Ellen was seen taking a walk on Friday afternoon in her neighborhood by herself. She wore a low-key outfit consisting of khaki shorts, a dark tee, and a white hat. She was spotted talking on a call. She held the phone in front of her and looked stressed. It appeared to be a serious call.
Former producer Hedda Muskat from The Ellen Show spoke out about her experience and described an alleged incident where producer Ed Glavin confronted a fellow crew member. The Arrested Development star Portia De Rossi has spoken out in support of Ellen. DeGeneres’ wife wrote on Instagram, “To all our fans….we see you. Thank you for your support. #stopbotattacks.” She used this as a caption for an image that read, “I stand by Ellen.”
Brandi Carlile also commented in support of Ellen on the post. Brandi wrote, “Ellen has made my life so much easier for me and other #LGBTQ people. I’ll never stop being grateful for that, but more importantly, she’s NEVER stopped making life better and easier for all kinds of people. This attack is unprecedented.”
For the last few days, it is speculated that Ellen being replaced by another celebrity figure began in mid-July. Few people claimed the set of the syndicated show was a toxic work environment. However, DeGeneres herself was never accused of misconduct in any form. But recently she told, “Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case. 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.”
