    Script

     

    Ellen Degeneres feeling the heat as more employees past and present from her show say they were working in a toxic environment. Some Hollywood actors also speaking out against the talk show host. Let’s talk to Carley Shimkus.

     

    What are we hearing on this story? Things are spiraling here. It is two situations unfolding at once has to do with a mountain of complaints against the show’s executive producers. Some 47 past and current employees have complained to buzz feed news allegations ranging from toxic work environment, bullying, now even sexual harassment.  Warner media is investigating that investigation will likely lead to people losing their jobs.  The other allegation has to do with Ellen herself and allegations that she is not the happy go lucky nice person that her show would lead people to believe. So, that started off as sort of a rumor and trending hashtag on twitter. Then a body guard spoke out against her who worked with her said she was ​icy in person. Two celebrities Brad Garnett of Everybody Loves Raymond Fame and Leah Thompson from Back to the Future have posted tweets saying she is not nice, so it’s a pretty tough moment to be Ellen right now.
