Ellen addressed the allegations on her show, saying that after the report, “I learned that things happened here that never should have happened."
"I take that very seriously," she added, "and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected. I know that I'm in a position of privilege and power, and I realized that with that comes responsibility, and I take responsibility for what happens at my show.”
Ellen announced her retirement in July, per SFGate, and released her last standup special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, in September on Netflix.
