        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ellen DeGeneres&#8217; brother — producer and writer Vance DeGeneres — is coming to her defense amid <strong>accusations of a &#8220;toxic&#8221; workplace</strong> at her eponymous talk show.</p><p>Vance called attacks on his famous sibling &#8220;bulls&#8211;t&#8221; in one of two heartfelt social media posts Tuesday.</p><p>&#8220;If you think Ellen would knowingly allow bullying or racism on her show, you don’t know my sister,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/vancedegeneres/status/1290689321494667266" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">her big brother, 65, wrote</a> in a supportive Twitter post. &#8220;She has been and continues to be a bright light in a dark world. She’s one of the kindest, most generous people you’ll ever meet. And one of the funniest.&#8221;</p><p>Ellen, 62, <strong>has recently faced accusations</strong> of behind-the-scenes <strong>sexual misconduct</strong>, racism and more on the part of the show&#8217;s staff. The allegations fly in the public face of the longtime show host, who <strong>encourages viewers to &#8220;be kind.&#8221; </strong></p><p>On Tuesday, Vance <strong>also took to Facebook</strong> with an impassioned affirmation that he stands by his sister.</p><p>&#8220;Ok, I need to say something. My sister is being viciously attacked. And let me assure you &#8211; it is all bulls-t,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;I put up a simple statement yesterday that said &#8216;I stand by Ellen.&#8217; Only a handful of my Facebook &#8216;friends&#8217; responded to it. If you don&#8217;t support Ellen, then you don&#8217;t support me, so please unfriend me. I&#8217;m sick and tired of my sister being attacked. She always has — and always will — stand against bullying of any kind. She&#8217;s a smart, strong woman who has made a positive difference in the world. And to my friends who did respond with support for Ellen and my family, thank you so much. It means a lot.&#8221;</p><p>Several celebrities — including Ellen&#8217;s wife, <strong>Portia de Rossi</strong>, and <strong>comedian Kevin Hart</strong> — <strong>have come to Ellen&#8217;s defense</strong>, as stars like &#8220;Everybody Loves Raymond&#8221; alum <strong>Brad Garrett</strong> and &#8220;Back to the Future&#8221; <strong>actress Lea Thompson</strong> added fuel to the anti-Ellen fire.</p><p>Rumors <strong>also recently surfaced</strong> that Ellen was ready to depart her show, with some speculating that CBS late-night host James Corden <strong>could take over</strong>. However, on Monday, the show&#8217;s staff <strong>returned to work</strong> on the upcoming 18th season, and an insider told The Post that “Ellen isn’t quitting” and added that Corden &#8220;has never once been spoken to or considered as a replacement for anything.”</p><p>When asked in July about cancellation rumors by The Post, DeGeneres’ production company representatives said, “Telepictures can confirm it’s untrue.”</p><p>On July 30, DeGeneres <strong>addressed the workplace allegations</strong> in a memo to staff, saying she was “sorry” and vowing to make unspecified changes.</p>]]></content:encoded>
