If you watched any of the Magnolia BTS, PTA def seems like he was being a real dick around this period. I can see him doing this.
damn, that ellen monologue "adressing" the allegations is embarassing. literally just a hacky stand-up set
Totally shameless/remorseless. She knows she can just get everyone to memory hole her own involvement in the horrific working conditions on the show if she throws some of the other bad actors to the wolves and plays it off like she's still everyone's buddy.

I imagine the sound drop guy from "Parks and Rec" having to press the "Laugh" and "Clap" buttons while she disingenuously cracks wise about sexual harassment, misconduct and racism.
