Singer Katy Perry is coming to Ellen DeGeneres‘ defense amid a barrage of accusations in the recent past, including that of fostering a toxic workplace environment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
This is the highest profile celebrity to some to Ellen's defense. Perry tweeted:
“1/2 I know I can’t speak for anyone else’s experience besides my own but I want to acknowledge that I have only ever had positive takeaways from my time with Ellen & on the @theellenshow. I think we all have witnessed the light & continual fight for equality that she has brought”
“2/2 to the world through her platform for decades. Sending you love & a hug, friend
@TheEllenShow ❤️ “
As of yet, Ellen has not received that much celebrity support, other than from her wife, Portia de Rossi, professional polo player Nacho Figueras and DJ Samantha Ronson.
Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras posted a lengthy show of support for Ellen and even called out other celebrities to do the same:
I have been patiently waiting for someone with more authority than me to speak up about what a great human being @theellenshow is. I have been very lucky to be on that show many times and I can tell you that it is a very well run machine, everyone was super nice, not just to me but to each other and anyone involved. I have seen Ellen act not just in her show but in public appearances in theaters where she is nice to absolutely everyone, the guy serving the coffee, the person in the elevator, the security guy and the owner of the venue.
Everyone loves her because that is who she is. She makes the world a better place for millions of people everyday and we cannot hit her because something may have not been perfect. No one is perfect, and we cannot control everything.
So I stand for you my friend and I challenge all the amazing people that know you and call you a friend to say who you are. The world has become a very dangerous place because it seems that we cannot make anything right. If I am going to be criticized for defending someone that I think deserves to be defended then so be it.
We are all so scared to say what we really think and it seems that we are only relevant if we say whatever the trending social media topic is.
So… We love Ellen right? @jenniferaniston @jlo @michelleobama @pink @seanhayes @ladygaga @oprah @katyperry @justintimberlake and whoever else should be on this list which is really long.
Samantha Ronson's show of support was a little more brief:
“Unpopular opinion: I’ve worked for @TheEllenShow as a dj, for her parties, for years and she has ALWAYS been respectful and kind to me.”
