After Ellen DeGeneres got slammed for being a mean host and being accused of turning a blind eye to racism, bullying and sexual harassment on her hit daytime show, her good friend Jennifer Anniston is now facing the wrath of the netizens. While all the negative publicity about The Ellen Show have begun surfacing, netizens are raising questions as to where her A-list celeb friends are in her time of need.
Tinsel Town is rife with Ellen DeGeneres and Jennifer’s strong bond and strong friendship for years. The two had several times shown admiration for each other at various events. As a matter of fact, the Friends alum has even appeared on The Ellen Show multiple times so far and a montage of photos of them hugging each other was also showcased. The two have been neighbours in the past as well.
While honouring Jennifer Aniston at the Variety Power of Women luncheon in October 2019, Ellen DeGeneres had proudly said: “I am one of her best friends”. She added, “Nearest, dearest, most favourite friend.” Later, Jennifer even jokingly said, “Ellen we gotta keep the best friend stuff kind of on the DL, okay? ‘Cause a lot of my best friends are here.” If this wasn’t enough, rumours were rife about Jennifer being gay and “more than just friends” with Ellen DeGeneres .

Now that Ellen DeGeneres has landed in soup, the internet is demanding why hasn’t Jennifer spoken in favour of her close pal? Where Jennifer went when her pal needs her?
According to US weekly report, Ellen’s close friends Jennifer, Justin Timberlake and Mario Lopez are on her side and they are very well aware that Ellen DeGeneres can be tough but accept that about her. While another report claim that celebrities have to be wary of defending anyone following the #MeToo movement and the recent rise of Black Lives Matter.
Nevertheless, netizens on social media are demanding an answer! Here are some of the tweets of netizens raising questions and whereabouts of the so-called A-list celeb friends who didn’t come to her rescue.
nah uh, you don’t get to call jen aniston or any other celeb out for not supporting ellen. not supporting toxic behavior doesn’t make them any less of a friend, just makes them better human beings for not standing up for her. leave them be.

I already knew Ellen was terrible but didn’t know about him. That’s unfortunate. It also makes me think less of the people that are close to them. Like Jen Aniston is best friends with Ellen.. I definitely lost respect for her when I found out about Ellen awhile ago..

the thing is: she is probably very nice to her a-list friends. she’s not nice to her security, writers, production assistants, anyone she doesn’t like, etc. that’s the problem! ellen can fight her own fight. she doesn’t need jennifer aniston to speak out. https://t.co/6m7syXlrOK

How about Jennifer Aniston just stands up for her friend. Ellen DeGeneres needs her friends to speak up in her defence.

I do not understand why we aren’t seeing more celebrities who claim to be close friends of Ellen’s standing beside her. Where’s Jennifer Aniston, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, and so many more who have had their careers advanced because Ellen stood beside them.

Where is Jennifer Aniston in all of this? I understand she and Ellen are best friends. Why is she not on the front line to defend her best friend? https://t.co/IiKQ1Zdmkf

However, the question still remains the same: Will Jennifer come out to show support for Ellen any time soon or will she just let her fight the battle alone?
