Kelly Clarkson is speaking out about the allegations against her daytime talk show. After eleven of her current and former staff members accused The Kelly Clarkson Show series of being a “toxic” work environment, the 41-year-old singer took to Instagram on Saturday morning to address the situation, saying: Related: Kelly Clarkson’s Divorce Album Is Gonna Be Fiery — ‘Damn, She Went There’! Kelly added that with the show’s move to New York City soon, she is “more committed than ever” to making sure her staff – both old and new – is made up of the “best and kindest in the business.” One way she plans to make sure that happens?

There will be “leadership training” for the senior staff members – including her. She wrote: Wow. You can read the entire statement from Kelly (below): As we mentioned before, this message comes after a new report from Rolling Stone revealed that many employees from The Kelly Clarkson Show feel “overworked, underpaid” and often “bullied and intimidated” to the point where the show has been “traumatizing to their mental health.” One person even called the show “by far the worst experience I’ve ever had in my entire life.” Yikes!!

According to the bombshell exposé, though, the staffers insisted Kelly was not responsible for the “toxic” workplace conditions on the popular show.

In fact, one former employee swore she “has no clue how unhappy her staff is,” noting that “NBC is protecting the show because it’s their new moneymaker.” Another ex-worker backed these claims, telling the outlet: Instead, the negative environment was blamed on the higher-ups on the show, specifically calling out executive producer Alex Duda, who allegedly hid how unhappy many staff members were from Kelly.
