Defenses of Ellen like those from Katy Perry and Kevin Hart just highlight how celebrities get special treatment

"If there’s anything we’ve learned from the past few years of Hollywood abuse revelations—whether its racial discrimination, sexual harassment, or psychological abuse—it’s that famous, successful individuals are often shielded from repercussions by their power and connections within the industry," says Gavia Baker-Whitelaw, who adds: "By definition, junior employees have a very different perspective compared to celebrities who have a personal relationship with DeGeneres. So while the statements from people like Kevin Hart and Katy Perry are a very public defense of DeGeneres and her show, they’re not actually relevant to the allegations at hand. They merely highlight the way people in power often have different experiences from everyday workers."

I have no doubt that Degeneris is perfectly capable of being nice when she wants to be, and that she wanted to build good relationships with the kind of celebrities that make good talk show guests. Some of the people who've defended Ellen may genuinely like her, and have never seen her do anything nasty to anyone.

That doesnt mean that Ellen wasnt capable of being a bitch from hell when she thought she could get away with it, of course.

Katy Perry defends sticking up for Ellen DeGeneres

Perry and other celebrities came under fire last week for expressing social media support for Ellen amid the daytime talk show host's toxic workplace scandal. In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, Perry doubled down on her support for Ellen: “I started that tweet off not undermining anyone else’s experience. I wanted to only speak from my own experience. I have over 100 million people that follow me on Twitter, so not everyone is going to agree with me. And I’m not here to make everyone agree with me.”
