Nacho Figueras expresses his support to Ellen DeGeneres, and he even calls out other celebrities to do the same.
The famed polo player calls the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, and Michelle Obama to show their support to Ellen DeGeneres amid the rampant accusations made against her and her show. He also drops the names of Pink, Sean Hayes, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Justin Timberlake.
If that’s not enough, he says others who should be on his list, which described to be “very long,” to come out and talk about the 62-year-old host’s greatness.
Figueras defends DeGeneres
“We love Ellen right?” Figueras wrote in a lengthy post on Instagram.
Also known as the David Beckham of polo, the 43-year-old star described Portia de Rossi’s partner as a “great human being.”
“I have been patiently waiting for someone with more authority than me to speak up about what a great human being @theellenshow is,” he said. “I have been very lucky to be on that show many times, and I can tell you that it is a very well-run machine.”
He went on to say that everyone on the Ellen set was super friendly, not just to him but to anyone involved. “I have seen Ellen act not just in her show but in public appearances,” he added.
Figueras revealed she saw her being nice in theaters, from the guys serving coffee to the elevator operators to the security guy to the venue’s owner. He even said that everyone loves DeGeneres for making the “world a better place” for people through her show.
“I stand for you my friend and I challenge all the amazing people that know you and call you a friend to say who you are,” he dared. “The world has become a very dangerous place because it seems that we cannot make anything right.”
Figueras seemed to show he’s ready to be criticized for defending DeGeneres, who he thinks deserves to be protected. “We are all so scared to say what we really think, and it seems that we are only relevant if we say whatever the trending social media topic is,” he concluded.
