Steve Harvey Is On Team Ellen
Word has it Ellen DeGeneres is not the kindest. Her workplace has been described as “toxic” by many staffers. Reports of sexual misconduct have also come into play with the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
In an interview with People, fellow talk show host, Steve Harvey said DeGeneres is “one of the coolest and kindest people I’ve met in this business” as he addressed the recent scandal surrounding The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“I’m going to say this about it: Ellen DeGeneres, the person that I know, that I’ve known for a number of years, that I saw back in the comedy club days, when we used to split time with the same management, all of this and what’s happening now, Ellen, the person, is probably one of the coolest and kindest people I’ve met in this business,” said the STEVE on Watch host when asked about the advice he’d give DeGeneres if she appeared on his show.
According to People Magazine, [from Harvey’s perspective, “people want to take something and make something out of everything,” he said. “[Ellen] has no control over what every staff member does, what every producer does, you can’t control that. You don’t even know some of the stuff that’s happening,” continued Harvey.
Because “it’s her name that’s on the show,” said Harvey, “she got to take the hit. Something happens over here, I got to take the hit.” Having known DeGeneres for years, Harvey also said that he does not believe she has any “racist tendency.”]
