Taking to Twitter, Ashton shared his experience with Ellen, 'She & her team have only treated me & my team w/ respect & kindness.'

'When things aren’t right she handles it and fixes,' he wrote.

I haven’t spoken with @TheEllenShow and can only speak from my own experience. She & her team have only treated me & my team w/ respect & kindness. She never pandered to celebrity which I always saw as a refreshing honesty. When things aren’t right she handles it and fixes.
