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 things to say about this unlikely friendship.
After Ellen defended herself on her show, dozens of celebrities have praised her for standing up for herself, including Reese Witherspoon.
But as the backlash from fans raged on, Reese was forced to delete her tweet that supported Ellen to try and save face.
The pair seemed like they were having a great time together. But for obvious reasons, this was not a sight anyone expected to see.
They did not hold back their criticisms on social media.
She explained that she and her wife were invited to the Cowboys game by the daughter of the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones.
"During the game, they showed a shot of George and me laughing together, and uh — people were upset."
"In fact, I'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs that I have."
"We're all different and I think that we've forgotten that that's okay — that we're all different," she went on.
"When I say be kind to one another, I don’t mean only the people that think the same way that you do."
Despite the support Ellen was receiving from her peers, fans were still not having it and have now aimed their criticism at the celebrities who have shown their support for her — starting with Reese.
Fans were shocked to see that Reese had sided with Ellen in support of being friends with George Bush.
Reese's tweet, on the other hand, did not receive even remotely as much praise.
It was a real disappointment for them to find out that she did.
Pretty heavy stuff.
I'm sure this is not what Reese had in mind when she made that tweet.
Do you think it's a coincidence that most of the people who have shown their support for Ellen are other rich people?
Let us know what you think of Reese Witherspoon's support for Ellen Degeneres and George Bush's friendship!
