    Ellen DeGeneres’ bullying scandal reignites with new bombshell claims

    New claims of Ellen DeGeneres’ toxic behavior have come out five years after the scandal initially broke.

    A former cameraman has alleged that the former “Ellen DeGeneres Show” host disliked her male staffers and was particularly peeved at those who would flirt with her wife, Portia De Rossi.

    “We went through a lot of male employees just in general,” the ex-staffer claimed to the Daily Mail Tuesday before alleging that DeGeneres, now 67, once went through nine stage managers in just one season. “We had a feeling she really didn’t like guys.”

    The cameraman claimed that De Rossi, now 52, was “nice” and friendly to those who worked on the now-defunct talk show, but if a staffer was ever “caught in conversation with Portia,” they could be in trouble.

    “You just hoped and prayed you weren’t seated by her wife, so you didn’t get her attention,” he added.

    The cameraman described a certain mean look DeGeneres would allegedly give, dubbed the “Ellen gaze,” in which the comic would make her eyes narrow and her cheekbones would seemingly “stick out.”

    The staffer likened the gaze to a “queen looking for her next execution,” stating DeGeneres was “terrifying.”

    The cameraman recalled one famous man in particular that his ex-boss had a feud with: Gordon Ramsay.

    He claimed the talk show host got upset with the celebrity chef because he once called her out for using rancid meat for an on-screen cooking demonstration.

    “She told one of her EPs, ‘Don’t let this guy on the show again,’” the source alleged to the Daily Mail. “You were uninvited as a guest pretty easily.”

    Page Six has reached out to Ramsay’s reps for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

    However, the most horrendous claim the cameraman likely made about his tenure on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” was when a colleague was allegedly urged to reschedule his child’s operation.

    “The kid had a major surgery — like a bone marrow transplant,” the cameraman explained.

    “This was a person pretty high up. This person was asked if they could move the procedure around the Christmas holiday week, for Ellen.”

    The cameraman claimed the high-ranking producer abided by his then-boss’s wishes, noting, “It was all loyalty to the show, but no loyalty to staff.”

    Page Six has reached out to DeGeneres for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

    However, when the toxic workplace allegations first came out in 2020 — while the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” was still on the air — the comedian addressed the claims on-camera.

    “I learned that things happened here that never should’ve happened,” she said at the time. “I take that very seriously, and I want to say I’m so sorry to the people who were affected.”

    The “Ellen” alum continued, “We have had a lot of conversations over the last few weeks about the show, our workplace and what we want for the future. We have made the necessary changes and today we are starting a new chapter.”

    De Rossi expressed her support for her wife at the time, and many celebs also backed the comic.

    Since then, DeGeneres has claimed the “orchestrated” controversy felt misogynistic and said during a stand-up special last year, “People will say all kinds of things and you have no control over that. But you know the truth and that’s all that matters.”
