Kelly Clarkson admitted changes are already in place for the fifth season of her talk show after accusations surfaced of a “toxic” working environment.

Clarkson said she “definitely was blindsided” by a report published in May where one current and 10 ex-staffers alleged abuses from producers and other high-ranking employees.

“I think the important thing is, we get into this mindset of canceling everything or everyone. And that’s not unhealthy because it’s like, ‘OK then …’ Because what you’re saying is every time somebody says something, then it’s just over,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.

“And that’s not how you work on things. You have to progress. You have to go, ‘Oh man, well, maybe we can do better at this. Obviously, we might have missed the mark here, so what can we do better?’”

Ex-staffers claimed in a Rolling Stone report that the show’s executive producer, Alex Duda, allegedly “shields Clarkson” from “the climate” Duda created.

“I think Alex Duda is a monster,” a third employee said. “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.”
