Ellen DeGeneres has responded to the “mean girl” allegations that surrounded her talk show, ultimately leading to its end.  During a recent stand-up performance in Santa Rosa, California, the comedian addressed the controversy directly. Speaking to a nearly full audience, DeGeneres stated, I am many things, but I am not mean. While defending herself, she acknowledged, “I can be demanding, impatient, and tough. I am a strong woman.” DeGeneres stepped away from her famous talk show in 2022 following accusations from former staffers about a toxic workplace environment. She told the audience that the scandal had forced her to confront and break down some of her personal barriers. In her recent stand-up appearances, DeGeneres has been more open about the impact of the controversy. During a gig last month, she discussed the toll that the negative publicity took on her self-esteem, admitting that she avoided news coverage portraying her in a negative light.   The post Media personality Ellen DeGeneres addresses scandal, says she’s many things but not mean appeared first on www.adng.ng Get free adverts.
