Recently, Ellen DeGeneres shared her path following a workplace crisis when she was called “mean.” The well-known TV personality went through difficult circumstances when her chat show was accused of having a poisonous atmosphere.
Ellen shares in her new Netflix special how these events affected her. She says it was rather tough to be labelled as “mean.” She is, however, now glad with the person she has grown to be. Ellen says she developed from the experience and learnt a lot.
Following claims of bigotry and harassment behind-stage, her chat show concluded in 2022 after 19 seasons. Ellen assumed ownership as the host even though she was not specifically implicated. She pledged to rectify things and said apologies to her employees.
Ellen makes lighthearted jokes about being “kicked out of show business” in her presentation due to the scandal She also muses over how she used to close her show by urging attendees to “be kind to one another.” Ellen says this made it difficult for her to ever act unkindly.
Ellen’s narrative of development and education is one of learning. She wants others to learn from her experience as well. She is now concentrating on being the greatest version of herself and moving ahead.
