The former A list singer turned talk show host/judge just regurgitated the same sentences the producer gave the day before in response to the horrible working conditions.

Nothing is going to change unless the producer is fired.

Kelly Clarkson Responds to Toxic Workplace Claims from ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ Staffers

Kelly Clarkson is responding to allegations of a toxic work environment on The Kelly Clarkson Show, calling her staff’s alleged treatment “unacceptable.”

The singer and talk show host, 41, shared a statement on Instagram Friday — the same day a Rolling Stone article alleged that producers “overworked” and “underpaid” the show’s crew members, who said “working at the show was traumatizing to their mental health.”

“In my 20 years in the entertainment industry, I’ve always led with my heart and what I believed to be right,” Clarkson began her statement. “I love my team at The Kelly Clarkson Show, and to find out that anyone is feeling unheard and or disrespected on this show is unacceptable.”

She continued, “I have always been, and will continue to be, committed to creating and maintaining a safe and healthy environment at The Kelly Clarkson Show. As we prepare for a move to the East Coast, I am more committed than ever to ensuring that not only our team that is moving, but also our new team in NY, is comprised of the best and kindest in the business.”

“Part of that build will include leadership training for all of the senior staff, including myself. There is always room to grow and ensure we are all being/becoming the best versions of ourselves in any business, especially when it comes to leadership. To ensure that any notion of toxicity is eradicated,” the American Idol alum concluded.

A former employee shared of their experience, “I remember going up on the roof of the stage to cry, being like, ‘Oh, my gosh, what am I doing? Why am I putting myself through this?’ ”

Another anonymous former employee specifically told the outlet: “I think [executive producer] Alex Duda’s a monster. I have a friend who’s an executive producer who warned me about taking this job, because apparently she has done this on every show she’s worked on.” – Source
