Professional polo player Nacho Figueras – who is well known for being best friends with Prince Harry – is defending Ellen DeGeneres and calling out other celebrities to show her public support.
“I have been patiently waiting for someone with more authority than me to speak up about what a great human being @theellenshow is. I have been very lucky to be on that show many times and I can tell you that it is a very well run machine, everyone was super nice, not just to me but to each other and anyone involved. I have seen Ellen act not just in her show but in public appearances in theaters where she is nice to absolutely everyone, the guy serving the coffee, the person in the elevator, the security guy and the owner of the venue,” he wrote on Instagram. “Everyone loves her because that is who she is. She makes the world a better place for millions of people everyday and we cannot hit her because something may have not been perfect. No one is perfect, and we cannot control everything.”
Nacho continued, “So I stand for you my friend and I challenge all the amazing people that know you and call you a friend to say who you are. The world has become a very dangerous place because it seems that we cannot make anything right. If I am going to be criticized for defending someone that I think deserves to be defended then so be it. We are all so scared to say what we really think and it seems that we are only relevant if we say whatever the trending social media topic is.”
Then, Nacho wrote, “So… We love Ellen right?” and tagged Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Obama, Jennifer Lopez, Pink, Sean Hayes, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, and more.
Meanwhile, a source just spoke out about who could potentially replace Ellen if she left her talk show.
