When some fans began to take issue with the criticism, Ellen defended the original poster.
“But why is someone saying they didn’t like something bad?” she said. “It’s literally been on for two decades!! Let her live… There is plenty of shit I don’t like.”
“Not to mention people are pretty much allowed to feel however they want after this really fucked up couple of years we have had.”
