Amid rising reports of Ellen DeGeneres' alleged bullying and mean behavior on the sets of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', another report has emerged claiming the talk show host bullied Emma Stone. Actors Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone had made an appearance on the daytime talk show six years ago for the promotion of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'. Reports state that DeGeneres, during the segment, asked the pair if they were dating.

Garfield and Stone were keeping their relationship a secret at the time. DeGeneres, however, reportedly forced the pair to confirm their relationship citing their fans' praise of their wonderful chemistry. The actors, however, refused to say anything at the time. Jamie Foxx, who was also on the show, then urged the host to move on to another topic, according to reports.

The popular daytime talk show and its host have been mired in controversy over the past few months, with many staff members alleging a toxic atmosphere on the sets. A Variety report in April had quoted crew members of the show, consisting of more than 30 people, stating that they were enraged over their treatment from top producers. The crew has alleged that they received no communication about the status of their working hours, pay, or inquiries about their mental and physical health from producers for over a month. 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' is produced by a division of Warners Bros called Telepictures.

It is also reported that DeGeneres forgot to introduce K-pop artist Psy in 2012 at her show. The star had come to the show to promote and perform his single, “Gangnam Style" and was joined by Britney Spears on stage. The host, during the segment, asked Psy to teach Spears the steps of his hit number, however, the Korean artist had to stop teaching her at one point as he introduced himself to the audience, reports state.

The reports come days after DeGeneres' controversial interview with Mariah Carey resurfaced on social media after the singer admitted that she was uncomfortable during her appearance on the show. Carey, who was expecting her first child with ex-husband Nick Cannon at the time, was forced by DeGeneres to confirm it on the show. When Carey did not admit the pregnancy, DeGeneres urged her to drink champagne. "And I really have had a hard time grappling with the aftermath," Carey told Vulture earlier this week. "I wasn’t ready to tell anyone because I had had a miscarriage. I don’t want to throw anyone that’s already being thrown under any proverbial bus, but I didn’t enjoy that moment."
 
Warner Bros. Television, last week, announced that three of the show's senior producers had been fired from 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show': Head writer Kevin Leman, Jonathan Norman, a co-executive producer, and Ed Glavin, one of the executive producers. The show's employees described the work culture of the show as rife with "racism, fear, and intimidation." Multiple employees also accused Leman of sexual harassment. However, he has denied any allegations of improper behavior.

DeGeneres, last week, had addressed her staff through video chat announcing the firings and had also revealed that the show's DJ Steven Laurel Boss had been promoted to executive producer. She also offered a second apology to her employees on the same call after her initial apology over the controversy in July.
