The Daily Mail reported that Hall's daytime show had "a giant blood bath" to end the season, with Page Six reporting that many staffers were replaced by former Oprah Winfrey producers. Hall released an Instagram video and letter to her team saying the "story that I did not pay 20 people and fired them and left them hanging is a lie." She says she ensured her staff was paid until a few weeks after the season ended. "Like any other show, like any other product, people make changes and we did -- after the season had wrapped. Not during, not while," she explained. "So this notion that I ran off securing bags, it's not true. It is absolutely not and the notion that I've abandoned people, it's not...But I have a right, and every person who runs a company, owns a company, has anything that is yours, you have a right to make it better."
