I am a total fan of Ellen and have heard the comments concerning her management of her staff. REALLY! I and my partner Joy Smith love Ellen. She does so many things that are really important for humanity. It is got to be hard to be able to run a company as large as hers. She learns as the rest of business owners learn when having so many interest. I hope all her fans come to her defense and all her backers realize what a gem she is. I cannot imagine her not being apart of our daily lives. She gives a lot. She cannot possibly do this for the money, as she has more than enough. She brings people together and she is a platform for all the stars and non stars who come on her show. How is it the people to she is giving a platform to have complaints she would not be aware of. Well you cannot please everyone. Hope her other fans and studio audience come to her defense. So many have profited. We just as fans see the good things she does. GOOD LUCK ELLEN: WE LOVE U!
