00:17DeGeneres five years after her workplace scandal first made headlines. The cameraman alleged that
00:23Ellen disliked her male staffers and that her team cycled through nine stage managers in just one
00:28season. He also claimed that Ellen became upset if staff members spoke with her wife, Portia de Rossi.

00:40in conversation with her might draw negative attention from Ellen. Former Ellen DeGeneres show

00:52DeGeneres intimidated employees through a look he called the Ellen gaze. According to his
00:58account, Ellen would narrow her eyes and her cheekbones would appear more pronounced, creating
01:03an expression he described as similar to a queen looking for her next execution. The cameraman said
01:09this look left staffers unsettled and fearful of making mistakes. He claimed that Ellen's intense gaze
01:15alone was enough to create an atmosphere of dread among those working on the show.

01:26cameraman from the Ellen DeGeneres show has claimed that Ellen DeGeneres clashed with celebrity chef
01:31Gordon Ramsay during one of his appearances. According to the cameraman, Gordon confronted Ellen
01:37about using rancid meat in a cooking segment. The allegations suggested that Ellen was furious about
01:43being challenged and told one of her executive producers not to invite Gordon back. The cameraman
01:49stated that guests could be uninvited pretty easily if Ellen felt slighted. Representatives for Gordon
01:56were contacted for comment but did not respond immediately. Former Ellen DeGeneres show cameraman recalls

02:09alleged that a producer on the program was pressured to postpone their child's bone marrow transplant to
02:14accommodate holiday scheduling for the show. According to the cameraman, the producer complied with the
02:20request, prioritizing loyalty to the program over their family. He described the situation as all loyalty to the
02:27show but no loyalty to staff. The Daily Mail reported the claim but noted that it remains unclear whether Ellen
02:35DeGeneres knew about the incident. Ellen DeGeneres addressed toxic workplace allegations on the Ellen
02:41DeGeneres show in 2020. When allegations of a toxic workplace culture first became public in 2020, Ellen
02:49DeGeneres addressed them directly on the Ellen DeGeneres show. On air, Ellen admitted, I learned that things
02:56happened here that never should have happened. I take that very seriously and I want to say I'm so sorry to the
03:02people who were affected. She explained that conversations had taken place behind the scenes
03:07and that changes were being made to improve the environment. At that time, Portia de Rossi voiced
03:13her support for Ellen and several celebrities also defended her publicly. Ellen DeGeneres later denied
03:19allegations and claimed misogyny fueled the drama. In later years, Ellen DeGeneres defended herself from
03:25the workplace scandal that surrounded the Ellen DeGeneres show. During a stand-up special in 2024,

03:37in misogyny. She remarked that public figures cannot control what people say but insisted,
03:44you know the truth and that's all that matters. Despite Ellen's attempt to move forward, new allegations
03:49from a former cameraman in 2025 have reignited discussion about her behavior and the culture
03:55of the long-running daytime show.
