Ellen DeGeneres has lost more followers than any other celebrity this year, according to a new report.

The talk show host faced controversy this year after several former employees claimed senior producers mistreated other workers.

The 62-year-old lost 545,000 followers on Instagram, and more than 612,000 on Twitter.

Ellen came under fire when numerous anonymous employees on The Ellen Show came forward in a damning report on Buzzfeed claiming to be working in an environment of racism, fear and intimidation. Some accused executive producers of rampant sexual assault and harassment.

She later responded in a statement, saying she ‘takes full responsibility’ and added: ‘I take that very seriously and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected.

‘I know that I’m in a position of privilege and power and I realised that with that comes responsibility, and I take responsibility for what happens at my show.’

However, some viewers were left unimpressed when she joked about the allegations upon her return to her show.

She’s not the only celeb to have lost followers this year, with YouTube star Jeffree Star also taking a hit.

The beauty guru, 34, ranked second in losing the most Twitter followers, with 487,151, and third on Instagram with 444,448, according to the report by GamblingDeals.com.

Jeffree faced controversy earlier this year, when fellow YouTuber Tati Westbrook accused him and Shane Dawson of ‘gaslighting’ her into making her previous expose video on James Charles.

Both YouTubers denied the allegations, and Shane has since stayed mostly quiet on social media.

Elsewhere, JK Rowling lost 351,000 followers on Twitter, with the Harry Potter author coming under fire for her comments about transgender people.
