Seems like the series of problems isn’t slowing down anytime soon for Ellen DeGeneres. Yesterday, we learnt how Australia’s Nine Network has got an upper hand in negotiations of the talk show’s next season owing to the controversies. Now, American comedian-actress, Rosie O’Donnell has spoken about the celebrity host and surprisingly, some good words are coming in for Ellen.

Rosie who hosted her own The Rosie O’Donnell Show from 1996-2002, has spoken in support of Ellen. She agrees on people’s accusations of Ellen’s weird behaviour but still isn’t shying away from showing compassion for her.

While talking on Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best podcast, Rosie said, “You can’t fake your essence. That’s why I have compassion for Ellen DeGeneres, right? I have compassion, even though, you know, I hear the stories and I understand. I think she has some social awkwardness.”
