Ellen DeGeneres makes shock joke about her 'be kind' image and toxic workplace scandal in Netflix trailer


Ellen DeGeneres joked about her Hollywood exile as she made her hotly-anticipated return to stand-up comedy in the trailer for upcoming Netflix special, For Your Approval.

The former host, 66 -whose daytime talk show ended in following allegations of intimidation, racism and sexual misconduct - took to the stage to quip about her 'be kind' image and the ensuring scandal ahead of the special's release on September 24. Four months later, BuzzFeed News published an exposé featuring one current and 10 former employees of the Louisiana-born funnywoman's former self-titled daytime talk show alleging racism, workplace bullying, and sexual harassment. By August 2020, WarnerMedia had launched an internal investigation, Ellen had issued a formal apology to her 255 employees, and executive producers Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman, and Jonathan Norman were all fired from the show.
