As allegations about the behind-the-scenes world of Ellen DeGeneres’s talk show continue to mount, some in Hollywood have made public statements about their own uncomfortable dealings with DeGeneres, and many others appear to be laying low about the matter–but not Katy Perry.

DeGeneres doesn’t have many outspoken supporters at this point, but Perry isn’t totally alone. Diane Keaton and comedian Kevin Hart have also made statements on behalf of the controversial host.
