The longtime daytime talk show host returns to 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' Monday – addressing the allegations of a toxic workplace environment that exploded over the summer.
"Today, we are starting a new chapter," DeGeneres said.
"Being known as the 'be-kind lady' is a tricky position to be in," she said."The truth is I am that person you see on TV. I am also a lot of other things. Sometimes I get sad, I get mad, I get anxious, I get frustrated, I get impatient. And I am working on all of that, and I'm especially working on the impatience thing. And it's not going well, because it's not happening fast enough.
"My intention is to always be the best person I can be, and if I've ever let someone down, if I've ever hurt their feelings, I am so sorry for that. If that's ever the case, I have let myself down and I've hurt myself, as well."
