Executive producers Ed Glavin and Kevin Leman, and co-executive producer Jonathan Norman have"parted ways" with “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, Warner Bros. have confirmed, amid claims of a"toxic" work environment.News of their exit is said to have been delivered to the show's staff during a video conference call meeting on Monday, during which TV presenter Ellen was reportedly emotional and apologetic.

But the 62-year-old TV presenter is said to have told staff she is"proud" of the programme and insisted the series would"come back strong" next month.Ellen and other producers are not said to have taken questions from staff members, who are still working remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Ellen has not been accused of any wrongdoing in the allegations, but she recently sent a letter of apology to her staff, which caused backlash after Brad Garrett - who appeared on the chat show six times between 2004 and 2007 - accused her of treating some people on the programme"horribly".

The 60-year-old actor wrote:"Sorry but it comes from the top @TheEllenShow. Know more than one who were treated horribly by her. Common knowledge."
