Amid the highly publicized Ellen DeGeneres scandal, yet another accusation has surfaced about the disgraced talk show host...
And it could very well be the worst yet.
Now, these allegations didn't come as much of a surprise to most of us...
Those who have met the star have claimed that she is nothing more than another power-hungry, self-centered celebrity.

In recent years, Ellen's image has been questioned more and more.
And, this year, things have reached a breaking point.
Her past employees certainly haven't held back.
Ellen clearly doesn't care too much for writer's strikes.

She also has no respect for her current staff.
Quite predictably, these allegations have hit her already crumbling reputation pretty hard...
And, as a result, her ratings have taken a huge blow.Before the allegations were made this year, Ellen’s ratings were consistently around 2.0 for her daytime slot...
With previous seasons of the show raking in an average of 4.5 million viewers.But, a couple of months ago...
Her ratings are continuing to decline...

Since these allegations arose, it seems that action has been taken...
As reports in July claimed that The Ellen Show was officially under investigation.The show was investigated for racism, mistreatment, and intimidation on set.
WarnerMedia, who own and syndicate the show, were believed to be the ones to launch the internal investigation into what’s happening behind the scenes.And, in light of all this backlash...
The host issued an apology to her staff working on the show.
She had a lot to say...
She continued:
Ellen went on to say that as the show grew, she was not “able to stay on top of everything. “
She added...
“It’s been way too long, but we’re finally having conversations about fairness and justice," she wrote.
But, despite her grovelling apology...
A former staffer has come forward with a grim insight into life on The Ellen Show...
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the former employee recalled how Ellen would "take pleasure" in firing staff members...
Her alleged behavior sounded simply unbearable.
"Ellen was the worst person that I’ve ever met in my life. She takes pleasure in firing people."
The source continued:
"Sometimes she would yell at us but it was more about the incredibly condescending tone she would use. She treated you like you were nothing. She was going to torture you and you were just going to sit there and listen to it because you were being paid."
The former employee also alleged that DeGeneres would even "leave traps" around her home before she left for work...
Of course, many staff members didn't last very long in DeGeneres' employment...
