In the further round of questions and answers, DeGeneres mentioned how she wasn't aware of what went on and was termed 'toxic' but since it's her name attached to the show, she gets affected by it.

Ellen DeGeneres told Savannah Guthrie of Today that she remains amazed via way of means of attacks on her and reviews of her show’s place of work surroundings as "toxic," however that it was not the cause for her decision to cease her long-running daytime talk show.

In the sitdown, carried out at the set of the show, Guthrie wanted to know if DeGeneres felt she was "being cancelled." To this DeGeneres said, "It was too orchestrated. It was too coordinated. And you know, people get picked on, but for four months straight for me, and then for me to read in the press about a toxic work environment when all I have ever heard from every guest that comes on the show is what a happy atmosphere this is and what a happy place it is."

To this Guthrie asked Ellen as to how could she not know or wasn't she supposed to? Ellen answered saying, "I don’t know how I could have known when there are 255 employees here, and there are a lot of different buildings unless I literally stayed here until the last people go home at night."

"It is my name on the show, so clearly it affects me, and I have to be the one to stand up and say, this can’t be tolerated. But I do wish somebody would have come to me and said, ‘Hey, there is something that you should know about."

DeGeneres confronted a professional disaster before, whilst she came out on her ABC sitcom in 1997, sponsors pulled commercials and the show was cancelled.

DeGeneres will reportedly make the assertion to the audience on Thursday of her choice to give up the show after next season, the 19th.
