The Ellen Show returned to the screens for its 18th season on September 21 after a scandalous summer break. Earlier, there were rumors that the 17-year-old story might be shut down after a series of allegations sparked a flurry of leading criticism from a popular TV talk show. The former staff accused the show’s producers of creating a toxic environment at work. After the show’s production company began investigating the case, Ellen apologized and the three producers of the show had to resign.
