Kelly Clarkson is addressing the workplace culture of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” after a report alleged the show is “toxic” behind the scenes.
Clarkson, 41, released a statement on Instagram Saturday addressing recent chatter about the show’s work culture after a Rolling Stone report released Friday.
USA TODAY reached out to Clarkson’s reps for more information.
The report surfaced alleged details of a toxic and traumatic workplace behind the scenes of the daytime talk show and focused on the conflict between staffers and executive producers and managers.
Clarkson herself wasn’t mentioned in relation to the negative workplace culture. But on Saturday she took to social media to address the allegations.
“In my 20 years in the entertainment industry, I’ve always led with my heart and what I believed to be right. I love my team at ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ and to find out that anyone is feeling unheard and or disrespected on the show is unacceptable,” she wrote.
The daytime talk show, which has been on the air since 2019, will move from Los Angeles to New York City for its fifth season. Clarkson added that as the show changes locations she will be “committed” to staffing up with the “best and kindest in the business” and will be initiating a leadership training for senior-level staff.

“There is always room to grow and ensure we are all being/becoming the best version of ourselves in any business, especially when it comes to leadership, to ensure that any notion of toxicity is eradicated,” she said.
Before Clarkson moves from the West Coast to the East Coast the singer will release her latest album “Chemistry” in June and will do a 10-show stint in Las Vegas in July through August.
