Sofia Vergara Says She Was 'Never a Victim' on Ellen DeGeneres' Talk Show After Old Clip Resurfaces

"On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that The Ellen DeGeneres Show would be a place of happiness – no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect," she began. "Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case. And for that, I am sorry. Anyone who knows me knows it’s the opposite of what I believe and what I hoped for our show."

DeGeneres added that she accepted responsibility and was "committed to ensuring this does not happen again."

Earlier this week, she further apologized to staff in a second apology, which came amid the exit of three of the show's top producers: Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman and Jonathan Norman. The trio parted ways with the show following the internal investigation by WarnerMedia, a Warner Bros. spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE.

In an emotional video conference with staff on Monday, DeGeneres told staff she "wasn't perfect," a source, who was on the call, told PEOPLE.

"I’m a multi-layered person, and I try to be the best person I can be and I try to learn from my mistakes,” she said.

“I’m hearing that some people felt that I wasn’t kind or too short with them, or too impatient. I apologize to anybody if I’ve hurt your feelings in any way," DeGeneres said.
