Ahead of Ellen DeGeneres’ announcement, the talk show had been facing a few situations.
Last year, the series made headlines due to allegations of a “toxic” workplace, leading to an investigation.
While DeGeneres hasn’t directly linked her decision to the allegations, she did recently offer some thoughts on the situation, claiming that the controversy was “orchestrated.”
However, following the backlash and the show’s return to the studio post-quarantine, the program has seen a decline in ratings.
