The Ellen DeGeneres Show's host, Ellen DeGeneres, and studio, Warner Bros., have spoken out about the recent complaints against the workplace environment on the popular daytime syndicated talk show.

In a statement on behalf of WB and DeGeneres, the studio confirmed that it has conducted an internal inquiry, interviewing current and former Ellen employees about their experience following a recent BuzzFeed report alleging a toxic work culture on the show.

`Though not all of the allegations were corroborated, we are disappointed that the primary findings of the investigation indicated some deficiencies related to the show's day-to-day management,` the statement said. `We have identified several staffing changes, along with appropriate measures to address the issues that have been raised, and are taking the first steps to implement them. Warner Bros. and Ellen DeGeneres are all committed to ensuring a workplace based on respect and inclusion. We are confident this course of action will lead us to the right way forward for the show.`

While suggesting that she was not personally involved in the decisions and incidents on the show that have drawn criticism (`I've not been able to stay on top of everything and relied on others to do their jobs as they knew I'd want them done`), DeGeneres said that `my name is on the show and everything we do and I take responsibility for that.` She also vowed to make changes.

`I'm committed to ensuring this does not happen again,` she wrote.

The BuzzFeed report alleged a toxic work culture on Ellen based on anonymous testimonials by one current and 10 former employees, according to the publication, who said they faced racism, bullying and intimidation. It was the latest in a string of negative stories about the show and host Ellen DeGeneres published over the past six months.
