Who is defending the Sexagenarian Ellen DeGeneres?
Comedian Kevin Hart shared a public message in support of DeGeneres emphasising the internet has “become a crazy world of negativity”.
The Jumanji star wrote on Instagram: “It’s crazy to see my friend go thru what she’s going thru publicly. I have known Ellen for years and I can honestly say that she’s one of the dopest people on the f****** planet.
Meanwhile, Singer Katy Perry also supported the TV host. The pop star, who is expecting her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom, said she was sending the chat show host “love & a hug”.
DeGeneres’s wife, Portia De Rossi, also posted a picture to Instagram stating: “I stand by Ellen” and wrote in the caption: “To all our fans… we see you. Thank you for your support.”
She tweeted: “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 the world through her platform for decades.”
The veteran actor hosted the self-titled show since 2003, and much regarded for her bubbly on-screen traits and for “be kind” mantra. She often participates in lavish giveaways and charity.
