Ellen DeGeneres’ staffers were ‘scared to death’ while working on her show, former guest says
Adam Carolla claims Ellen DeGeneres’ staff described her as the ‘worst person’
- Comedian Adam Carolla has made strong claims about Ellen DeGeneres and the working conditions on her eponymous talk show, based on his appearance 13 years ago.
- Carolla observed staff appearing “scared” on set and recounted a segment producer repeatedly cautioning him against discussing specific topics.
- He alleges a show writer, bound by an NDA, described DeGeneres as the “worst person I've ever met,” contrasting her set's atmosphere with more relaxed shows.
- These comments echo prior allegations of a toxic workplace environment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2020, which led to the program's conclusion in 2022.
- DeGeneres addressed the workplace allegations in her Netflix special For Your Approval, stating she was content not being a “boss or a brand” and that public opinion is not her concern.
