That will now change and I’m committed to ensuring this does not happen again.”
To think that any one of you felt that way is awful to me."
Without naming names, the company also revealed that there will be “several staffing changes made.”
As a result, WarnerMedia interviewed dozens of current and former employees about the environment atThe Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Warner Bros. and Ellen DeGeneres are all committed to ensuring a workplace based on respect and inclusion.
We are confident this course of action will lead us to the right way forward for the show.
Below is DeGeneres' complete letter to her crew:
Hey everybody it’s Ellen.
Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case.
And for that, I am sorry.
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.
Clearly some didn’t.
That will now change and I’m committed to ensuring this does not happen again.
To think that any one of you felt that way is awful to me.
It’s been way too long, but we’re finally having conversations about fairness and justice.
I promise to do my part in continuing to push myself and everyone around me to learn and grow.
Again, I’m so sorry to anyone who didn’t have that experience.
Stay safe and healthy.
Love,
Ellen
