Ellen DeGeneresโ€˜ talk show is reportedly under investigation following a series of complaints from staff members past and present about their treatment behind the scenes.

WarnerMedia bosses have ordered the inquiry to check on claims made by almost a dozen The Ellen DeGeneres Show employees.

The reports suggest DeGeneres is not the friendly person she appears to be and does not live up to her โ€œbe kind to each otherโ€ mantra.

A recent BuzzFeed expose suggested the working environment on the show is toxic.

Itโ€™s been something of an open secret that conditions behind-the-scenes of DeGeneresโ€™ popular daytime show are less than ideal.

Rumors of a toxic work environment have been circulating for a while now, but this is the first time that any major action has been taken to investigate allegations of misconduct.

Itโ€™s unclear at this time what further action will be taken (if any), or who the third party company is, but hopefully conditions for the showโ€™s staff improve as a result.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show is currently in its 17th season, with nearly 3,000 episodes having been produced since it premiered back in 2003.
