There’s no arguing the popularity of The Kelly Clarkson Show. With its upbeat host, cool “Kellyoke” covers and an impressive roster of celebrity guests, the daytime talk show has risen to the top of the ratings. However, many fans were forced to look at the show in a different light, after 11 current and former employees spoke out about the “toxic” work environment they experienced, and it begged the question of whether Kelly Clarkson was, in fact, a monster to work for. Following the Rolling Stone article, another employee has weighed in on their experience.
Ten former and one current employee were interviewed for the bombshell report that came out May 12, describing how they were “traumatized” while working on The Kelly Clarkson Show. The sources shared details about the toll taken on their mental health, including how they were bullied, overworked and put in uncomfortable situations. However, the anonymous insiders absolved Kelly Clarkson of any wrongdoing, and another current employee has come forward in her defense as well, telling Variety that the Rolling Stone article is not reflective of their positive experience working for the singer.
