Octavia Spencer
The Oscar winner weighed in on the claims about DeGeneres’ allegedly “toxic” workplace by sending “love and support” to those involved. “All of my interactions with everyone from the show including ELLEN were supportive and fun!” she wrote via Instagram on August 12. “In that spirit I am praying all involved get the love and support they need.” After a “lively debate” broke out in the comments section, Spencer amended her statement. “I also believe that all of the voices of her employees need to be heard. Past and present,” she wrote. “Speaking truth to power is the only way change happens. My truth is everyone was kind to me. From the PAs to the producers. So yeah! I want all of those people to feel valued and heard. And no, people are NOT always kind to talent! #AllVoicesNeedToBeHeard #beyekindonetoanother.”
