Ashton Kutcher Responds To Angry Fans After Defending Ellen DeGeneres

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, Ashton is responding to fans after speaking out in defence of the 62-year-old.

In case you've missed one of the biggest news stories of the year so far, lemme fill you in real quick!

Buzzfeed Newsposted 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.

After Ellen issued an apology, *Buzzfeed News* published a second article, claiming sexual misconduct at the hands of Ellen's executive producers!

The article detailed a host of allegations that ranged from inappropriate comments to sexual touching.

Naturally, this bad news travelled fast around social media.

Some of Ellen's Hollywood friends took it upon themselves to share their positive experiences with the talk show host in an effort to defend her reputation.

One of those celebrities was Ashton Kutcher.

However, fans were quick to point out that just because a celebrity treated another celebrity nicely doesn't really mean anything.

Now, Ashton is responding to those upset fans in an attempt to create meaningful discourse.

"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."

It seems like Ashton was willing to listen to all the criticism on his post.

In conclusion to the drama, Ashton tweeted:

"1. If you’ve made mistakes (red heart emoji) 2. If you’ve learned from your mistakes (retweet) 3. If your perfect (comment)."
