- surprised by attacks on her and reports of her show’s workplace environment as “toxic,” but that it was not the reason for her decision to end her long-running daytime talk show (sure jan). denies knowing anything about the toxic enviornment prior to the articles and reports that came out. takes no accountability for anything and plays the victim.
- “It was too orchestrated. It was too coordinated. And you know, people get picked on, but for four months straight for me, and then for me to read in the press about a toxic work environment when all I have ever heard from every guest that comes on the show is what a happy atmosphere this is and what a happy place it is.”
- "It was devastating. I am a kind person. I am a person who likes to make people happy."
- "I don’t know how I could have known when there is 255 employees here, and there are a lot of different buildings, unless I literally stayed here until the last people goes home at night."
- "I am supposed to experience this for a bigger reason How can I be an example of strength and perseverance and power if I give up and run away?" (lmfao delusions of grandeur)
- "And also I have to say - if nobody else was saying it - it was really interesting because I’m a woman, and it did feel very misogynistic."
