After a Buzzfeed News report revealed that racism, microaggressions, and other wildly toxic behavior ran rampant at The Ellen DeGeneres Show, it seems showrunners intend on making a few changes. No word on whether the notoriously less-than-nice Ellen will take any of these lessons to heart, but perhaps producers will at least stop telling Black employees they can’t tell any of them apart.
that DeGeneres herself wrote a letter to the show’s crew this week apologizing to staff and addressing the allegations, which include claims that a senior level producer once joked to a Black employee about another Black employee, “Oh wow, you both have box braids; I hope we don’t get you confused,” and that a staffer was fired after checking into a mental health facility after a suicide attempt.
I could not have the success I’ve had without all of your contributions. My name is on the show and everything we do and I take responsibility for that. Alongside Warner Bros, we immediately began an internal investigation and we are taking steps, together, to correct the issues. As we’ve grown exponentially, I’ve not been able to stay on top of everything and relied on others to do their jobs as they knew I’d want them done. Clearly some didn’t.
I’m also learning that people who work with me and for me are speaking on my behalf and misrepresenting who I am and that has to stop. As someone who was judged and nearly lost everything for just being who I am, I truly understand and have deep compassion for those being looked at differently, or treated unfairly, not equal, or — worse — disregarded. To think that any one of you felt that way is awful to me.
