Ellen Degeneres
For decades, America idolized this famous talk show host. DeGeneres was loved for her silly dance breaks, generous gift-giving, and informative interviews with celebrities and regular people alike. Despite how fun it was to be Ellen's guest, being her staffer was a much more sour experience.
The Fame Got to Her Head
In 2020, a former employee came forward about what it was like to work for Ellen. They claimed that the daytime host treated those who worked beneath her like scum. The confession inspired others to come out with their own stories about Ellen's abusiveness. She is now set to step away from her talk show in 2022 after 19 seasons.
