I'd be floored if she knew the staff wasn't getting paid for two weeks of Christmas hiatus. The Kelly that I interacted with and that everyone knows would probably be pretty aghast to learn that, Anonymous 'Kelly Clarkson Show' staffer, via 'Rolling Stone'.
Another staffer said working on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' "is by far the worst experience I've ever had in my entire life," leaving them "traumatized.".
Many of the employees said they filed complaints with human resources,
but no action was ever taken.
However, one 'Kelly Clarkson Show' staffer
disagreed with the "toxic" workplace comments.

The show is still paying us although we had to shut down early because of the
writers' strike. , Anonymous 'Kelly Clarkson Show' staffer, via 'Rolling Stone'.
