Ellen DeGeneres' talk show DJ, Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, breaks silence on toxic workplace allegations
Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, Ellen DeGeneres' in-house DJ who joined her show in 2014, has spoken out for the first time amid claims of toxicity on the set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
In an interview with Us Weekly, the dancer revealed that he couldn't say much due to legal reasons and as he's still employed with the show.
"We can't speak too much legally about it, but I'll say this, there's been love," Boss shared on August 11. "Obviously there's some things to address, but from my standpoint and from countless others, there's been love. I'll just leave it at that until there's a time where we can address more publicly. There's been love and there'll will continue to be love."

He also noted that while he is "anxious" to return to work, he will definitely "miss this time" spent at home with his wife, Allison Holker, and their kids.
Boss' comments come after a number of accusations were made by former staff members. Published by Buzzfeed News, the reports detailed allegations of racism, fear, intimidation and sexual misconduct within the workplace. An internal investigation has since been launched by WarnerMedia

After the investigation was announced, DeGeneres personally addressed her staff and apologised.
"On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that The Ellen DeGeneres Show would be a place of happiness — no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect. Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case," DeGeneres wrote.
