"They said things will be very different now," a source said.

    The meeting comes a week after WarnerMedia's move

    This took place after WarnerMedia, on July 27, informed all employees of the daytime show that an investigation will be carried out by the brand relations group and a third-party firm into the allegations surfaced against three executive producers Ed Glavin, Jonathan Norman and Kevin Leman. Even the talk show host was claimed to be turning a deaf ear to incidents behind the camera.

    A bit about the criticism surrounding the daytime show

    Among the allegations that have rocked the show include a Twitter thread saying how "mean" DeGeneres is to complaints of racism, claims of underpayment and even to security staff. Moreover, Glavin, Norman and Leman have been accused of harassing women employees sexually. Consequently, Glavin will reportedly be asked to leave while nothing is sure about Norman and Leman's future with the show.
