Controversies for Ellen DeGeneres and her show has been mounting up to be monumental for the makers. Now, a new report suggests that there was a complaint registered against ‘gender discrimination, including sexist remarks made by top producers’ two years ago.
The said complaint was registered with the industry union but was annulled, stating the reason for having no merits to it. Three of the top-level executive producers were fired last week.
Studio-person in a conversation with Buzzfeed stated: “It was investigated by an outside investigator and resolved with no merit to claims of gender discrimination. As previously stated, we are committed to changing the things that need to change and moving forward in a constructive and positive way.”
