Reruns of the show which are running during summer were "down 9% from the prior week and a glaring -29% from the same week last summer," the site reports.

Degeneres has since apologized for her role in creating the culture of toxicity, discrimination and sexual harassment. The star penned a letter addressing BuzzFeed's report on July 30th.
“On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that The Ellen DeGeneres Show would be a place of happiness — no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect,” she wrote. “Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case. And for that, I am sorry. Anyone who knows me knows it’s the opposite of what I believe and what I hoped for our show.”
