Lea Thompson
After Brad Garrett’s tweet calling out Ellen’s supposedly unacceptable treatment of her staff and guests, another celebrity who also jumped on the bandwagon was actress Lea Thompson. Best known for her role as Lorraine Baines in the Back to the Future franchise, Thompson responded to Garrett’s tweet with just four simple words – “True story. It is.”
Clearly she was in agreement with the consensus that Ellen indeed has a “mean streak” and that she was the cause of the unfortunate work environment behind the scenes. Of course, we don’t know the whole story and we would like to give Ellen the benefit of the doubt, especially after her apology video.
