The hashtag “Replace Ellen” was trending August 3rd after allegations against her talk show began circulating.
Complaints of serious workplace issues, including racism and harassment, emerged prompting an internal investigation by Warner Bros.
Ellen herself is not accused of harassment but of fostering a toxic environment at work and she responded to those allegations.
Portia De Rossi showed her support for ELLEN DEGENERES with an Instagram post saying, “I stand by Ellen.”
Katy Perry also tweeted her support.
