Ellen recently was quoted as saying the 2013 Emmy Awards felt dated, and that the lack of diversity felt embarrassing. However, Ellen told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that those quotes were originally supposed to be off the record.

Although the quotes were off the record, she is standing by what she said, and her team is looking into what happened.
