Employees from ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ claim that the show is toxic behind the scenes—and say Kelly Clarkson herself isn’t privy to “how unhappy her staff is.”

“Kelly is fantastic. She is a person who never treats anyone with anything but dignity and is incredibly appreciative,” a former employee said. “I would be shocked if she knew. I’d be floored if she knew the staff wasn’t getting paid for two weeks of Christmas hiatus. The Kelly that I interacted with and that everyone knows would probably be pretty aghast to learn that.”

Multiple staffers instead lay the blame on executive producer and showrunner Duda, who had similar duties on“I think Alex Duda’s a monster,” a former employee alleged. “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.”

Employees further claimed that they were only made aware of exact details regarding the production’s relocation from Los Angeles to New York minutes before confirmed the news on Monday. Several employees also claimed that though they brought their workplace concerns to HR, they were ultimately met with inaction. One former staffer who has worked on multiple sets said“is by far the worst experience I’ve ever had in my entire life,” adding, “It deterred me from wanting to work in daytime ever again. When I say I was traumatized, I was really traumatized.

The show, which is currently in its fourth season and has been renewed through its sixth season in 2025, is also being investigated by the Writers Guild of America. According to emails obtained byproducers allegedly wrote episodes of the unionized show, which is a contractual violation.
