Ellen Degeneres and George W. Bush sat next to each other at an NFL game on Sunday, and the internet had some less than kind thoughts about this unlikely friendship.
After the outrage caught Ellen's attention, she made sure to defend herself right away!
For obvious reasons, this was not a sight anyone expected to see.
And they weren't shy about airing out their anger on Twitter.
This person pointed out that George Bush didn't agree with gay marriage, and as you probably already know, Ellen is married to a woman.
It's no secret that George Bush's political views are against everything that Ellen is.
"So, I want to talk about something that happened this weekend," she began.
"It may not seem like a big deal for a celebrity to attend a football game — but uh — I never leave my house, so, it is a big deal," she joked.
"Portia and I were invited by Charlotte Jones. She is the daughter of Jerry Jones, who owns the Dallas Cowboys.
"So anyway, we get to sit in this very fancy suite, 'cause you know, he owns the whole place. His suite is fancy and he's got fancy friends."
"When we were invited, I was aware that I was going to be surrounded by people with very different views and beliefs."
"During the game, they showed a shot of George and me laughing together, and uh — people were upset."
"[They] didn't even notice I'm holding the brand new iPhone 11," she joked.
"But a lot of people were mad, and they did what people do when they're mad — they tweet."
"We're all different and I think that we've forgotten that that's okay — that we're all different."
"And I'm friends with people who are furry, as a matter of fact."
"When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean only the people that think the same way that you do."
Let us know what you think of Ellen Degeneres and George Bush's friendship!
