In response to claims of toxic working conditions at her talk show, Kelly Clarkson said in a text slide posted on her verified Instagram account that she plans to "ensure" that any problems are "eradicated."
The musician and host of the popular NBC daytime chat show "The Kelly Clarkson Show" was responding to a Rolling Stone article in which 11 current and former staff members said they were mistreated, overworked, or inadequately paid at the show.
"To find out that anyone is feeling unheard and or disrespected on this show is unacceptable," Clarkson wrote in part in her post, adding that she is "committed to creating and maintaining a safe and healthy environment."

As part of her response to the reported allegations, Clarkson promised "leadership training for all of the senior staff, including myself," allowing that "there is always room to grow and ensure we are all being/becoming the best version of ourselves" to "ensure that any notion of toxicity is eradicated."
According to the Rolling Stone article, both current and former employees stated that the negativity they experienced did not originate from Clarkson herself, but rather from top producers.
In a statement shared to CNN, "Kelly Clarkson Show" producing network NBC Universal said it is "committed to a safe and respectful work environment and take workplace complaints very seriously, and to insinuate otherwise is untrue."
"When issues are reported they are promptly reviewed, investigated, and acted upon as appropriate," the statement continued. "'The Kelly Clarkson Show' strives to build a safe, respectful, and equitable workplace that nurtures a culture of inclusivity and creativity."
CNN has reached out to Clarkson's representatives for comment.
