Ellen DeGeneres has been defended by Kevin Hart amid accusations she turned her back on toxic workplace culture behind the scenes of her chat show. The 41-year-old Hollywood actor has spoken out as Ellen faced a barrage of criticism in recent weeks from staff members past and present, who have reported misconduct, racism and sexual harassment. There are now calls for her to be replaced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, with James Corden being widely touted to take over on the daytime talk show. It has been reported that Ellen will continue though and hopefully the heat will die down on a situation that is threatening to bring a dark cloud over her career.
Kevin Hart has said that enough is enough and posted his thoughts on Instagram in which he voiced his support for the under-fire TV presenter, accusing those rallying against her of spreading "negativity". He posted: "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. She has treated my family and my team with love and respect from day one."
