Kevin Hart speaks out in support of Ellen DeGeneres

Kevin Hart has hailed Ellen DeGeneres as "one of the dopest people on the planet" following the allegations against her talk show.

Producers of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' have been accused of creating a "toxic work environment" by several former employees, as well as sexual misconduct claims being placed against two of the show's top executives.

Whilst Ellen was not accused of any wrongdoing in the allegations, she sent a letter of apology to her staff last week, which caused backlash.

Hart has now posted a social media tribute to his friend, whom he insists has always treated him "with love and respect".
