Ellen May Walk Away From The Show!

The Ellen Show is in turmoil. Ellen DeGeneres is considering leaving the show.

Entertainer Ellen DeGeneres may end up walking away from the No. 1 talk show in the country.

The Ellen Show (The Ellen DeGeneres Show) is the leading daytime talk show in the country. The host signed on for two more seasons. Right now she and many other talk show hosts are doing their programs from their homes or remote studios with limited staff due to COVID-19.

Buzzfeed broke the story of a toxic workplace at the show. It shook the media and it also put DeGeneres on the defensive. Now her distributor Telepictures (Warner Bros. Television) and WarnerMedia have called for an investigation into the show, the executive producers and the host herself.

The Queen of Talk often said "Be Kind to One Another" in her closing messages. It appears that it didn't seem quite like that when the cameras are off.

Sources are telling The Daily Mail that Ellen had enough and is ready to walk away from the show.

"She feels she can't go on and the only way to recover her personal brand from this is to show down the show," an insider told the tabloid on Friday. "The truth is she knew what was going on -- it's her show. The buck stops with her. She can blame every executive under the sun -- but Ellen is ultimately the one to blame."

Reps for Ellen and the show have not responded to any inquires from the junk food media.

Buzzfeed released some damaging claims about the show. Current and former staffers have said that executive producers and sometimes Ellen herself were acting foolish. The claims are sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, assault and wrongful termination.

Ellen had recently came to apologize to the staff promising to do better. But some have dismissed this. They believed Ellen turned a blind eye. Even entertainers Brad Garrett and Lea Thompson have criticized the move as a "stunt."

Allegations first came to the surface in April, as unnamed members of the production team claimed they were left uninformed as to the status of their pay or employment amid the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.

Additionally, accounts of "cold" behavior from the 62-year-old comedian herself, including from her former bodyguard, began to pile up.

The show took another hit this week when Buzzfeed published a report based on interviews with 36 members of staff. Several voiced allegations of sexual misconduct from top producers Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman and Jonathan Norman.

According to the report, a former employee of the daytime show accused Leman of soliciting oral sex at a company party in 2013, while another ex-staffer claimed to have seen the exec grab a production assistant's penis on a different occasion.

Nearly a dozen employees also stated that it was not unusual for Leman to make crude and sexual jokes in the office disguised as "sarcasm."

Additionally, dozens of employees understood that Glavin "had a reputation for being handsy with women," particularly in the control room, where he would use intimidation to control employees.

Three staffers then corroborated a claim that Norman groomed a former staffer and attempted to perform oral sex on him. Leman and Norman vehemently denied the allegations.

Prior to the sexual allegations coming to light, the show's executive producers Glavin, Andy Lassner, and Mary Connelly issued a statement shifting blame from DeGeneres to themselves.

"We are truly heartbroken and sorry to learn that even one person in our production family has had a negative experience," they said. "It’s not who we are and not who we strive to be, and not the mission Ellen has set for us."

The statement explained that the "day to day responsibility of the... show is completely on" the producers.

Earlier this week, Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, weighed in on the controversy, concluding that DeGeneres faces "a dangerous period in her career." Any findings that reveal a toxic workplace "would be an apocalyptic ending to her TV career," he added.

A rep for DeGeneres and the show did not immediately respond to Fox News' requests for comment.
