With scandals and allegations mounting over the past few months, it is completely understandable for outsiders to say that the team behind The Ellen DeGeneres Show has not had a good time. Now, a producer for the show has confirmed that the past few months have not been great.

Page Six reports that Andy Lassner, one of the show’s executive producers, revealed in an Instagram video how challenging the past few months have been for him and the production. In the video, he said that he had been gone for “a little bit” dealing with the scandals that have plagued the production.

The Independent notes that after admitting that the past few months have been “rough,” Lassner said that he had taken it as an opportunity to experience some growth and even learn more about himself.

Lassner also took the video as an opportunity to affirm to his followers that he has always been honest with them. He also confirmed that he is “back” and that he loves all of his followers.

Lassner is also the same executive producer who assured fans of The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Twitter that the show was not being canceled. The response came after a user tweeted at him that they would be supporting him even if The Ellen DeGeneres Show went off the air.

It certainly wasn’t unreasonable for fans of the show to think that the show would be canceled after Buzzfeed revealed that the show was rife with allegations of workplace misconduct that ranged from racism to sexual harassment.

The report alleged that there were incidents of sexual harassment, racism, and unjust termination going on behind the scenes. There were even allegations that employees’ leaves for mental health or to attend funerals were being denied.

Because of the report, WarnerMedia started an internal investigation on the production. The show also introduced new perks to staffers, such as birthday leaves, paid time off for medical appointments, and an additional five days of paid leave on top of what employees were already receiving.

Aside from The Ellen DeGeneres Show, WarnerMedia also launched an internal investigation regarding the claims of actor Ray Fisher that Justice League director Joss Whedon acted gross, abusive, and unprofessional on the set of the movie. Fisher also accused former Warner Bros. co-president of production Jon Berg and former DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer Geoff Johns as enablers of Whedon’s behavior.

Peter Lenkov, the former showrunner for MacGyver, was also called out by the show’s star, Lucas Till, for body-shaming, bullying, and verbal abuse. Till said Lenkov’s actions almost drove him to suicide.
