“Hey Guys,” Okungbowa began his Instagram post addressing the current accusations against the comedian. “I hope you are all keeping safe out there during these trying times. I have been getting calls asking me about the Ellen Degeneres Show and I would like to address the time I spent there.

“I was on air talent from 2003-2006 and from 2007 -2013,” he went on. “While I am grateful for the opportunity it afforded me, I did experience and feel the toxicity of the environment and I stand with my former colleagues in their quest to create a healthier and more inclusive workplace as the show moves forward.”

Former staffers have recently come out against the 62-year-old star, claiming she created a toxic work environment for her team and citing everything from general rudeness to higher-level employees engaging in sexual misconduct. The allegations prompted WarnerMedia to launch an official investigation with assistance from a third-party firm.

DeGeneres has, however, found support in several Hollywood pals, including Ashton Kutcher, Kevin Hart and Katy Perry. DeGeneres’ wife, Portia de Rossi, has also made a public show of support.
