Kevin Hart will do anything to stand up for his friends, no matter what people say.
The 41-year-old comedian has stood up for host Ellen DeGeneres after she was accused of meanness by former employees of her show, and he’s now told Deadline he has no regrets.
He shared, “I don’t lose sight of the definition of the word ‘friendship’, and in our industry, it’s something that people don’t hold onto very much. A lot of relationships are bogus, while some are. In my case, true friendships are the ones I have with people that I will always be ready to defend. I know who these two people are (Kevin also refers to comedian Nick Cannon whom he defended after – here was accused of anti-Semitism, editor’s note), and as I know these people, all I can say comes from my own experience. It is not to minimize what other people say they have experienced. is just to emphasize what I know myself. “
In addition, it was recently revealed that Ellen DeGeneres had spoken to her employees to promise them change.
A source told People magazine that during the call, the host admitted she “wasn’t perfect” and promised to learn from her mistakes, before apologizing to those who had the call. feeling that they have been treated unfairly.
The star has also vowed to make the show’s atmosphere more enjoyable as the talk show bosses make sure to make necessary changes behind the scenes.
Ellen had already apologized publicly a few weeks ago, stating in an open letter that read:
“From day one of the show, I told everyone that The Ellen DeGeneres Show would be a place of joy, that no one would ever raise their voice, and that everyone would be treated with respect. Obviously, some thing has changed, and I’m disappointed to learn that it hasn’t. For that, I’m sorry. Those who really know me know that it’s the opposite of what I believe in and what I believe in. that I wanted for this show. “
