On Monday, after taking a beating in the media over the summer, comedienne Ellen DeGeneres publicly apologized on camera for her show’s allegedly toxic work environment.

“As you may have heard, this summer there were allegations of a toxic work environment at our show and then there was an investigation. I learned that things happened here that never should have happened,” she said. “I take that very seriously 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.”
