Where are all the stars?
So far Ellen DeGeneres has had two (three counting Dakota Johnson) celebrity star critics, never mind dozens of former and current employees.
But where are the defenders? So far there are two: polo player Nacho Figueras and Justin Bieber manager, Scooter Braun. The latter knows where his bread is buttered. Bieber is a frequent guest on “Ellen,” and Braun knows he can promote his other acts on her show. Bieber himself has said nothing.
Figueras, I’m not sure what he is celebrity wise. But he did post a big defense of Ellen on his Instagram page. He wrote:
“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.”
So…we love Ellen, right? So far none of those people have spoken up for the talk show host. But more and more former producers are dishing on various websites, and so far none it has been pretty. But if “Ellen” continues this season, I guess we’ll see a lot of Nacho.
