Ellen DeGeneres returned to the studio for the season premiere of her program and addressed all the allegations made against her, about a toxic work environment in her opening monologue.
Calling her summer "wonderful", ironically, DeGeneres apologized for being negatively affected while working on her staff.
"As you can imagine, this summer there were allegations of a toxic work environment in our program and then there was an investigation. I learned that things happened here that should never have happened. I take this seriously and I want to say I feel sorry for the people who were affected. "I know I am in a position of privilege and power and with that comes responsibility, so I take responsibility for everything that happens on my show," said Degeneres.
She added that she is now "taking responsibility for what happened."
In an email to staff in July, DeGeneres apologized to her team and said an internal investigation had been launched.
On Monday, DeGeneres said the show has since made "necessary changes".
"We've had a lot of conversations over the last few weeks about the show, the jobs and what we want for the future. We have made the necessary changes and today we are starting a new chapter, "she added.

She also joked about her long-standing nickname as "Be Kind Lady" (So, more or less someone who often says to people "to be nice".
"Being known as 'Be Kind' is a bit tricky," she said. Let me give you some advice if someone is looking for a nickname or title for themselves: Do not go with "Be Kind". Do not do it."
Në fund ajo thotë se nuk është shtirur ndonjëherë, por si të gjithë edhe ajo është e lumtur, e qeshur apo e mërzitur në momente të caktuara.
“E vërteta është që unë jam ai person që ju shihni në TV.”
Ajo thotë se është “një aktore e mirë, por jo aq e mirë sa të shtiret në ekran si dikush tjetër përballë miliona njerëzve, për aq shumë vite sepse publiku do ta kishte kuptuar gjithsesi.”
