Hours after Ellen DeGeneres apologized to staff amid claims of a “toxic” work environment on her talk show, Everybody Loves Raymond actor Brad Garrett said the alleged mistreatment her employees faced comes as no surprise.

“Sorry, but it comes from the top @TheEllenShow,” Garrett, 60, tweeted on Friday, July 31. “⁦[I] know more than one [person] who were treated horribly by her.⁩ Common knowledge.”

The former Single Parents star appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on six different occasions between 2004 and 2007, but didn’t mention any of his own experiences.

His comments about the talk show host, 62, come on the heels of the latest bombshell BuzzFeed News report, detailing the claims of former employees who “independently corroborated incidents of harassment, sexual misconduct and assault from top producers on the show.”

On July 30, DeGeneres broke her silence and apologized following previous claims of racism, intimidation and unjust firings.

“As we’ve grown exponentially, I’ve not been able to stay on top of everything and relied on others to do their jobs as they knew I’d want them done. Clearly some didn’t,” she penned in a letter to employees, obtained by Us Weekly. “That will now change.”

“Anyone who knows me knows it’s the opposite of what I believe and what I hoped for our show,” she continued. “I could not have the success I’ve had without all of your contributions.”
