Former Cameraman Alleges Bullying, Surgery Pressure on Ellen DeGeneres Show

New allegations have emerged against Ellen DeGeneres, revealing a toxic work environment during her tenure on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which was canceled in 2022 following bullying claims. A former cameraman, who wished to remain anonymous, reported that DeGeneres disliked male employees interacting with her wife, Portia de Rossi, and created a climate of fear among staff. One serious accusation involved executives pressuring a senior staff member to reschedule their child's critical bone marrow transplant surgery to accommodate DeGeneres' filming schedule during the Christmas holiday week. The source described DeGeneres’ intimidating behavior, including a menacing 'gaze' that unsettled crew members and even led to banning celebrity guest Gordon Ramsay after a negative interaction. Despite DeGeneres’ public persona of kindness, these insider accounts paint a picture of pettiness and hostility behind the scenes, contributing to the show's downfall. DeGeneres relocated to the UK after the show's end, but the revelations continue to damage her reputation.
