Kevin Hart took to Instagram earlier to publicly support his friend and fellow comedian Ellen DeGeneres amid her workplace scаndal involving аllegations of a “tоxic” environment.
Hart and DeGeneres appeared particularly friendly as they shared a lunch at Rosewood Miramar in Montecito.
Ellen opted for a laid-back look for her lunch date with Kevin, wearing a Hawaiian print button-down, gray joggers, and slip-on sandals. The duo enjoyed their meal at a table for two with a stunning ocean view. Kevin donned a patterned button-down shirt and shorts, while Ellen complemented her outfit with a blue Hawaiian shirt and gray capris.
Ellen took her time sipping a glass of white winе while Kevin animatedly conversed with her. The Jumanji star gestured enthusiastically, leaning closer to Ellen to emphasize his points.

After Kevin finished his passionate speech, Ellen steered the conversation.
Ellen’s signature bleach blonde hair appeared slightly tousled, and she wore a silver watch on her wrist.
After finishing her meal, Ellen was seen walking down the steps of the restaurant patio.
The pair shared a warm embrace as they said their goodbyes following lunch.
Ellen’s outing with Kevin comes nearly two weeks after the Ride Along actor publicly supported her on Instagram.
Earlier, Ellen has faced accusations of rаcism, bᴜllying, and creating a ‘tоxic environment’ behind the scenes of her popular talk show.
WarnerMedia launched an official investigation into these allegations made by former and current employees earlier.
In his Instagram post, which featured a photo of him on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Hart expressed that it was ‘crazy to see [his] friend going through what she’s experiencing publicly.’
It seems Hart is repaying DeGeneres for her support, as she was one of the few celebrities to stand up for him during the backlash over his past hоmophоbic remarks that resurfaced after he was named the Oscars host.
