Many former employees and even guests who have worked in the "Allen Show" also stepped up and pointed out that the screen image that Allen has shaped over the years is actually pretended, and he is super mean.

I have always been committed to being friendly , Tolerant and respectful attitude towards employees.

On July 30, Allen belatedly published a memo, which was also her first voice after the incident broke out.
"On the first day of our show, when I first met, I told everyone that the Allen Show will be a place full of joy and everyone will be respected. Obviously, something has changed and I am disappointed. I know that this is not the case. I’m sorry for that.”
” 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. What’s even more intolerable is that she tried to pretend that all of this was unaware of her, which caused a blow to her career. But a fish is rotten from scratch, and Alan is the head .”
also Some insiders said that Allen doesn’t really like going to work at all, but just pretends to be friendly to the audience and creates a “good person” personality:

program group also believe that the most important thing Allen should do now is to resign: "Warner Bros. should cancel our show." Or change a host. Over the years, the audience has been deceived by her. She is a terrible person, but the company may not cut down this cash cow." An insider at
Telepictures revealed that Allen had already told the company’s executives Said that he had had enough and was ready to resign.
"Allen believes that the only way to restore her personal brand is to turn off the show." Some people analyze
