Former show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres returns to Netflix after years of silence to make fun of her Hollywood downfall, and she’s not holding back from getting into the ugly details. Ellen tells fans and critics that her upcoming stand-up special might be her last, and she’s finally telling her truth the DeGeneres style. Here’s everything we know about Ellen’s upcoming special, For Your Approval.
Ellen DeGeneres Toxic Workplace Scandal
Ellen, famous for ending her eponymous show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, telling people to be kind, was accused of being unkind. In 2020, she was accused of creating an unhealthy and “toxic work environment” on her show. Anonymous former and current staff members made these accusations, which later became a report published by BuzzFeed News. Some of these claims included being penalized for taking medical leave, racial microaggressions, and fear of retribution for raising complaints.
The ex-employees claimed that Ellen DeGeneres’ “be kind“ was all for show. The executive producers stated they took full responsibility for the show’s daily operations, but this was not enough. The Ellen DeGeneres Show was later under internal review, and after nearly twenty years on air, it finally ended in May 2022.
A Finale To Look Forward
The trailer for Ellen DeGeneres’ upcoming Netflix special, For Your Approval, has been unveiled. The 66-year-old former talk show host takes center stage after a lengthy hiatus and will release the juiciest details of how she was kicked out of Hollywood and what keeps her occupied. Ellen stated that the “be kind“ girl wasn’t kind, and that’s the headline and why she was booted. Here’s the problem, Ellen added: she was a comedian who got a talk show and ended it every day by saying, “Be kind to one another.“ Had she ended it by saying, “Go f*** yourselves,“ people would’ve been pleasantly surprised to find out she’s kind.
Further, as the trailer proceeds, Ellen jokes, perhaps clarifying, that she went into show business to heal childhood wounds. She naively thought people would like her if she could make people happy. If they liked her, then she would feel good about herself. And to that, she exclaimed, “Thank God for the money!”
Final Thoughts
For Your Approval is Ellen DeGeneres’ final comedy comeback, six years after her Netflix special Relatable. She summarized the series in a single statement: Yes, she will talk about it. Yes, this is her last special and joke; yes, her wife, Portia de Rossi, is truly that pretty in real life. DeGeneres and her wife co-produce the series alongside Ben Winston, and it is set to premiere on September 24, 2024. We will finally see Ellen’s side and learn how she dealt with what she described as some of the most depressing times of her life.
