Ellen DeGeneres was reportedly shocked after new claims alleged that her talk show staff feared her. In a recent segment of “After Party with Emily Jashinsky,” comedian Adam Carolla recalled his guest appearance on DeGeneres’s show.

Carolla claims DeGeneres had "always been a mean person," which he said he'd realized during his time working with the staff on the popular series that ran from 2003 to 2022.

Everyone was scared of her, which means she’s mean,” the comedian and radio personality said of DeGeneres in a scathing interview.
