Ellen DeGeneres is reportedly ready to call it quits on her show amid mounting pressure and a storm of negative publicity around toxic workplace allegations.
According to the Daily Mail, the host, 62, has told executives at TelePictures and Warner Bros that she’s had enough and wants to walk away.
“She feels she can’t go on and the only way to recover her personal brand from this is to shut down the show,” a source told the publication.
“The truth is she knew what was going on, it’s her show. The buck stops with her. She can blame every executive under the sun – but Ellen is ultimately the one to blame.”
Staff at her show have also hit back at the apology letter she sent out this week, branding her a “phony” and claiming anyone who complained to her about the ongoing issues “would’ve been fired”.
“Don’t think for a minute anything she has said in that apology means anything. She created and then enabled this toxic culture to go on for so long,” one staffer said.
“If anyone had come to her or those three (executive producers) to complain, they would’ve been fired.”
“Inside Telepictures we’ve had enough of her. She is a phony who does not practice what she preaches,” another source told Daily Mail.
“The behaviour of her show executives has been appalling, but (Ellen) is no better. In fact, she is the worst. It’s outrageous that she is trying to pretend that this is all a shock to her. The fish rots from the head, and Ellen is the head.”

Bonfire of the TDS continues.
I’ll shut it down before I’ll practice this “Be Nice” spiel I’ve been peddling.
She has tons of money. Why not quit? Does she need the aggravation?
Big surprise.
She is just as disgusting as her lifestyle choice would suggest.
And everyone who works for her knows it.
Big surprise. /s for emphasis
Lesbians in heat.
DeGenerate always gave me the creeps. Wish she/he would just.... go away.
Ellen DeG earns $84 million a year from her show plus some TV producing and products endorsements on the side. She's the 12th highest earner among TV celebrities.

I personally think she's got a screw loose or two in a weird, hidden sort of way. I don't even like to look at her.

Oh no. How will I survive?
I have to save my brand.....I HAVE TO SAVE MY BRAND!!!!!!!!!!!
Huzzah!
None of these workers are going to ever work in Hollywood ever again. Who would hire somebody who tries to sabotage your show?
I don’t know. She could marry Oprah and roll around into a big, hot twist.
What’s Michelle Obama going to do without Ellen’s nose up her ass all the time?
I was repulsed with the lovefest Ellen gave Michelle all the time.
Her producers were harassing Candice Owens relentlessly. She knew this.
Win, Win. A bunch of Libs complained about Ellen and got her to quit and now they don’t have a job either. Mutual destruction.
Since I’ve never watched the show, I will not miss its passing.
Who sponsored the meadal? Carpet World?
