Many fans have responded negatively to Kutcher's tweet, and tweeted him back trying to explain exactly why DeGeneres is currently under fire. @AmeriNaiji tweeted: "I get celebrity friends coming out in defense of Ellen to an extent. And I like Ellen. But... employees are complaining about their work experience there. Can that be understood? No one knows what it's like but them. It's invalidating what *they* experienced on a regular basis.
Kutcher replied: "I understand."

Kutcher has appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" several times.
The show itself is currently under internal investigation following allegations of racial discrimination, sexual misconduct, and a toxic work environment from former employees. DeGeneres herself has also faced severe backlash this year.
A former producer, Hedda Muskat, recently said that there was a "culture of fear" around the show, and labelled DeGeneres a "toxic host." Meanwhile, celebrities are being split — "Everybody Loves Raymond" actor Brad Garrett agreed with the criticisms and said that DeGeneres mistreating people is "common knowledge." Meanwhile, Kutcher, Kevin Hart, and DeGeneres' wife Portia de Rossa have all come out and defended her.
DeGeneres responded to allegations of "issues" with her show in an open letter to staff, and wrote that she was "disappointed to learn" that people working for felt unhappy and/or disrespected on set. DeGeneres also apologized to those who weren't treated with fairness or respect, and promised she is "committed to ensuring this does not happen again."
