Beloved Hollywood legend Ashton Kutcher is facing backlash after defending Ellen DeGeneres on Twitter earlier this week.
Of course, Ellen has been caught in a wave of controversy after current and former employees alleged they experienced a "toxic" work environment on her show.
Now, a few Hollywood faves are speaking out in defence of the 62-year-old. The latest celeb to do so is Ashton Kutcher.
Buzzfeed News posted the initial explosive news story last month, which featured interviews from 1 current and 10 former Ellen Show employees.
The stories ranged from various degrees of unprofessionalism, with some employees claiming they were fired after taking medical leave or bereavement days, while others alleged they were told not to speak to Ellen if she was around the office.
The article detailed a host of allegations that ranged from inappropriate comments to sexual touching.
Naturally, this bad news travelled fast around social media.
One of those celebrities is Ashton Kutcher.
Taking to Twitter, Ashton wrote: "I haven’t spoken with @TheEllenShow and can only speak from my own experience. She & her team have only treated me & my team w/ respect & kindness. She never pandered to celebrity which I always saw as a refreshing honesty. When things aren’t right she handles it and fixes."
"Oh she treats billionaire A list guests well? You don’t say," tweeted one fan, to which Ashton replied: "1. I’m not a billionaire. 2. it extends to my team and people she didn’t even know I work with."
"Ellen being mean and nasty behind closed doors to her staff is old news to anyone who’s been paying attention. It’s been on gossip forums and blind items for years," responded another.
