Five years after the workplace scandal that tarnished her daytime empire, Ellen DeGeneres is once again facing accusations about her alleged behavior.
In a Tuesday, August 26 article shared by the Daily Mail, a former cameraman for The Ellen DeGeneres show claimed the host “really didn’t like guys,” suggesting she went through multiple male staffers each season.
According to the ex-employee, “We went through a lot of male employees just in general… We had a feeling she really didn’t like guys.” He also alleged that tension was particularly high when male crew members were friendly with DeGeneres’ wife, Portia de Rossi. “You just hoped and prayed you weren’t seated by her wife, so you didn’t get her attention,” the source said, adding that de Rossi herself was “nice” to staffers.
The cameraman also described what he called the dreaded “Ellen gaze” — a look where DeGeneres would narrow her eyes and her cheekbones would jut out. “Like a queen looking for her next execution,” he said, calling the experience “terrifying.”

The allegations went beyond staff interactions. The former crew member claimed DeGeneres clashed with celebrity guests, recalling that Gordon Ramsay was banned after criticizing spoiled meat used in a cooking segment. “She told one of her EPs, ‘Don’t let this guy on the show again,’” he alleged. The former employee also accused the show of pressuring a high-ranking producer to reschedule his child’s major surgery — a bone marrow transplant — to accommodate taping. “It was all loyalty to the show, but no loyalty to staff,” he said.
DeGeneres, 67, previously addressed accusations of a toxic workplace during her show’s 2020 season. “I learned that things happened here that never should’ve happened,” she told viewers. “I take that very seriously, and I want to say I’m so sorry to the people who were affected.”
The former TV star and de Rossi, 52, relocated to the U.K. in late 2024 after selling their Santa Barbara home for a staggering $96 million. Since then, the couple has been sharing glimpses of their life on social media, most recently with DeGeneres giving fans a look at de Rossi’s horse and how she’s living her “dream life.”
At the time, DeGeneres has not responded to Parade’s request for comment.
