Ten former and one current employee of The Ellen DeGeneres Show have added their voices to growing complaints that the "Be Kind" talk show host actually presides over a "toxic" set, rife with bullying and racism.

The employees detail incidents in which they say they were sidelined, disciplined or fired for speaking up about discrimination, taking a mental health leave, attending family funerals or setting up a GoFundMe page to cover medical costs not covered by their workplace health insurance.
