Have you noticed that despite her popularity among the Hollywood elite, no one has come out to dispute the stories about Ellen DeGeneres supposedly being an abusive boss and generally terrible person? When Disney fired James Gunn over a made-up right-wing outrage born out of intentionally not getting jokes and not realizing jokes about pedophilia were fairly commonplace a decade ago, the entire cast of Guardians of the Galaxy came out to support him and some of them even threatened to walk off the third movie if Gunn wasn’t involved.
And yet, there has been nary a peep in defense of Ellen despite the fact that it would probably help her in the investigation launched into her behavior and the atmosphere she created on her set.
The New York Post reports that The reason for that is none of her famous friends are willing to put their reputation on the line for her.
A source told The Sun: “Ellen has gained a reputation as a friend to the stars, but A-listers would have to take great risks to publicly defend the show.”
That sounds like they think she did it to me. What other reason can you think of that not one person has come out and said “The Ellen DeGeneres I know isn’t a huge bitch who treats everyone who isn’t famous like they’re subhuman” if not they at least think there’s the possibility that it checks out?
Still, you stand by your friends. If your best friend tells you they killed someone, your response should be “I’ll be right over with two shovels, don’t touch anything.” Ellen may have a lot of A-List friends, but it sounds like she doesn’t have any friends willing to help her bury a body. And the odds are good at least one of them has buried a literal body before. Is she friends with anyone who was on the boat with Natalie Wood?
