Current and former employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show have called out the presenter for her public apology, which they believe to be “disingenuous and tone deaf”.
DeGeneres began the first episode of the new series with a lengthy monologue addressing the accusations and apologising.
I take that very seriously and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected.
She went forward with this idea and this marketing strategy that was not true behind the scenes.”
