But... employees are complaining about their work experience there. Can that be understood? No one knows what it's like but them. It's invalidating what *they* experienced on a regular basis."

Kutcher has appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" several times.
The show is now the focus of an internal investigation following former employees' allegations of racial discrimination, sexual misconduct, and a toxic work environment. DeGeneres herself has also faced severe backlash this year.
A former producer, Hedda Muskat, recently said there was a "culture of fear" at the show and described DeGeneres as a "toxic host."
Meanwhile, some celebrities have appeared split on DeGeneres. The "Everybody Loves Raymond" actor Brad Garrett agreed with the criticism and said that DeGeneres mistreating people was "common knowledge." Kutcher, Kevin Hart, and DeGeneres' wife, Portia de Rossi, have defended her.
In an open letter to "Ellen Show" staff last month, DeGeneres responded to allegations of "issues" with her show and said she was "disappointed to learn" that employees felt unhappy and disrespected on set.
DeGeneres also apologized to people who weren't treated with fairness or respect and said she was "committed to ensuring this does not happen again."
