“There’s nothing wrong with being the ‘be kind lady’ if you’re actually true to your word.”
Another former employee who participated in WarnerMedia’s recent investigation of the show said they’re unhappy they had to watch DeGeneres’ monologue to hear her apology.
“The right thing would be to follow up with these people who are humans who were affected by this,” the former employee said. “They have a responsibility to kind of close this chapter of our lives and move on.” The former employee added that they would have preferred for someone at Warner Bros. to reach out to them and “say something like, ‘We’re so sorry this happened to you,’ not for Ellen to go on air and say, ‘I heard this happened and I’m sorry if it happened to you.’”
“It was like, ‘Tell us all of the most fucked up things that happened to you for the investigation, and now that we’ve written it all down, see you later,’” they added. “It just feels like there’s no ending to this for people who came forward and said things that happened to them and reopened these wounds and rehashed these memories.”
