Ellen DeGeneres In Complete DENIAL About Her Low Ratings & Toxic Environment

Ellen DeGeneres doesn’t seem to think that the problem is her. The talk show host – who is lucky that she didn’t get canceled last summer after reports initially suggested that her show was nothing more than a toxic work environment – says that her scandal along with all of the allegations of bullying and the show’s low ratings are not the reason why its ending. Ok, girlfriend. Whatever you say.

Ellen seems to be in complete denial over all the headlines that she has made this past year, as she insists that her toxic work environment scandal and sinking ratings have nothing to do with her decision to quit her daytime talk show.

Instead, she believes that it’s time to end her show because she’s no longer as creative as she used to be.

Ellen DeGeneres In Complete Denial About Her Problems

Yet, the New York Times reports that The Ellen DeGeneres Show has lost over 1 million viewers over the course of the show’s 18th season. The show was investigated for its “toxic work environment” following allegations made that Ellen is perhaps one of the most difficult people to work with in the entertainment industry.

“If it was why I was quitting, I would have not come back this year,” Ellen told The Today Show. “I really did think about not coming back, because it was devastating.”

Ellen also added that her sinking popularity had nothing to do with her decision to quit the show.

“As you said, everything in television is down. It’s got nothing to do with why I’m leaving. If I was having fun, I would do this show with nobody watching. So it’s got nothing to do with that,” she said on Today.

Ellen added, “My therapist is like, very few people go through such huge public humiliation twice in a lifetime. How can I be an example of strength and perseverance and power if I give up and run away? So it really is one of the reasons I came back. I worked really hard on myself.”
