WHAT HAPPENED
Three producers – Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman, and Jonathan Norman have been fired and will not produce the next season. The reason was complaints against them by staff members, they have been accused of sexual harassment. Staff-members have spoken about the inappropriate touch, intimidating, etc which obviously have been denied. Ellen personally apologized for such behavior and will co-ordinate with the internal investigation. Even though she was not part of it she has taken full responsibility and was grateful for people to raise their voice.

Ellen DeGeneres is also on the news for her ‘cold’ behavior and ‘toxic’ culture on the set. Dana Dimatteo who flew from Chicago to Los Angeles for the show was disappointed. She was excited to meet Ellen and was happy to be the part of ‘Make it Rain’. On the camera, everything looked perfect but behind the camera was different. Dana was given instructions of dos and don’ts like not being ‘smarter’ and ‘funnier’ than Ellen as she is the star. After the game got over she was kept waiting for 45 minutes in those cold wet clothes as if the staff had forgotten about her.
During the breaks, Ellen did not acknowledge Dana’s appearance and sat quietly on the couch. Ellen only talks to the audience when the cameras are on, her motto – ‘Be Kind’ is just for the show. In reality, she behaves completely opposite and many stars have agreed with it. But Kevin Hart, Katy Perry, and Ashton Kutcher supported her while Lea Thompson and Brad Garrett spoke against her. Ellen defended herself by saying she is an introvert and hence people think she is cold and distant. What do you think?
