” As the scale and effect of our show have grown exponentially, I can’t control everything, so I need to rely on others to complete the work, but obviously some people have not done it. Now this situation will change, and I promise to make sure that this situation will not happen again.”
This tone is obviously to pass the responsibility to the executives at the production level. Naturally, this argument was unanimously resisted by the employees. . One of the employees of
said: "Allen only mentioned this issue now because it has had a serious negative impact on her and her BS brand's image of'happiness' and'kindness'. She can get rid of it. The pot is for anyone, but the responsibility lies with her."
"Every time she tells the audience to be a kind person, I feel sick and sick, because she always makes the opposite choice."
one of the employees Said: "Don't think that anything Allen said in the apology has any meaning, because she created and made this toxic culture last so long."
Some people also said: "In fact, Allen certainly knows what happened. What's wrong, this is her show, and the responsibility should be borne by her. She can blame any executive in the world, but Allen himself is the culprit."
, an unnamed staff member said: " If someone goes to her three hateful executive producers to complain, they will be fired."
"The behavior of the program director is indeed shocking, but Alan himself is not much better. In fact, she is the best. It’s bad.
