Ellen DeGeneres has addressed the "mean girl" allegations that led to the end of her talk show during a recent stand-up performance in Santa Rosa, California.
Speaking to a nearly full audience, DeGeneres said, "I am many things, but I am not mean." While defending herself, she acknowledged, "I can be demanding, impatient, and tough. I am a strong woman."
DeGeneres left her famous talk show in 2022 after former staffers accused her of fostering a toxic workplace environment. She told the audience that the scandal had forced her to confront and break down some of her personal barriers.
In her recent stand-up appearances, DeGeneres has been more open about the impact of the controversy. During a gig last month, she discussed the toll the negative publicity took on her self-esteem, admitting that she avoided news coverage portraying her in a negative light.
