Stars back Ellen amid 'toxic workplace' claims

However, the show's one-time resident DJ has said he "did experience and feel the toxicity of the environment".

It follows a Buzzfeed News story that claimed senior staff had bullied and intimidated others on set.

DeGeneres later apologised to staff, saying steps would be taken to "correct the issues" that had come to light.

One current and 10 former employees told Buzzfeed they had experienced racism and a workplace that was "dominated by fear".
