In 2020, Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime program was accused of fostering a toxic work environment. The claims were also supported by DeGeneres’ former DJ, Tony Okungbowa. Okungbowa spoke out about the difficult culture backstage on the show. “I did experience and feel the toxicity of the environment and I stand with my former colleagues in their quest to create a healthier and more inclusive workplace as the show moves forward,” he wrote on Instagram.
Following the flurry of accusations, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, spoke out in support of Degeneres.”Obviously, there’s some things to address, but from my standpoint and from countless others, there’s been love,” Boss said to Us Weekly. “I’ll just leave it at that until there’s a time where we can address this more publicly. There’s been love and there will continue to be love.” Boss would remain with “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” through the controversial period, solidifying his loyalty to the comedian.
