Ellen DeGeneres Called a ‘Mean Person' by Adam Carolla, Details Bullying

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 31 – Adam Carolla said Ellen DeGeneres’ staff were fearful due to her harsh behavior, supporting prior allegations of a toxic workplace that ended her show after 19 seasons.

  • During an appearance on Emily Jashinsky’s podcast, Carolla claimed The Ellen DeGeneres Show staff were “scared to death” and “cowering” 15 years ago.
  • In 2020, ten former and one current employee alleged DeGeneres, talk show host, fostered a hostile work environment, leading to her apology and show ending in 2022.
  • The segment producer repeatedly warned Carolla to avoid meat topics due to DeGeneres’s vegan stance during the 2012 taping.
  • Media outlets sought comment from her camp after Carolla's remarks reignited discussion of DeGeneres’s backstage behaviour, with The Independent contacting a representative for comment.
  • Amid broader industry reckoning, the show faced a 2020 BuzzFeed News investigation revealing accounts of racism, intimidation, and penalties for medical leave.
