'Grey's Anatomy' Star Ellen Pompeo Eloquently Defends Fan's Right To Call Season 17 'Trash'

Hi, @EllenPompeo, sorry for all the @GreysABC tags but 17 is the most groundbreaking, life changing season. Seriously though, I think this season has really helped a lot of people. && If these beach scenes don't hit you, you're not a fan nor human. Thank you so much!pic.twitter.com/wCSnBwotul

I guess I'm an alien because this season was dumpster trash! I love the show but not this season.

Smartest negative feedback reply ever. I've never seen Grey's Anatomy, but this actor in it is impressive.https://twitter.com/EllenPompeo/status/1406096845353361413\u00a0\u2026

Ok, THIS is a good example for other stars. We all want great TV. And sometimes it ain\u2019t that. And as a fan who feels others shows haven\u2019t always been receptive to honest feedback, I appreciate this reply when it comes to Grey\u2019s. #howitsdonehttps://twitter.com/ellenpompeo/status/1406096845353361413\u00a0\u2026

Don\u2019t care about this show but I think this is honestly one of the more sane, reasonable celebrity/disgruntled fan interactions I\u2019ve seen on this site.https://twitter.com/EllenPompeo/status/1406096845353361413\u00a0\u2026

As someone who has a slightly unhealthy obsession with Grey\u2019s, I loved the season. Seeing everyone come back for their cameos gave me life. I get why some people didn\u2019t like it but I don\u2019t feel that way. I\u2019m excited to see what happens with the new season. Love you Ellen

i hate that they said this, i hate when people say stuff like this in general, season 17 was so good.

How was this season not the best legit the brought most of the dead ones back when we thought we would never see them again?!?!

I freaking loved this season!!! It was amazing seeing all the vulnerability in everyone. It was about 2020 and 2021 who can\u2019t love a show that is about the world that they live in to day. I\u2019m really glad that this season the writers decided to bring thing to the light+

For me it's beautiful. They tried to pleased the fans in this hard time (pandemic) by reuniting the casts... And I am pleased also (especially avery-kepner scene!!).. and It opens up a lot of possibilities in the future that the ex-cast can appear in future season!!

Yeah same, it was different to the others but it captured 2020, and although for some that\u2019s a tough watch because we\u2019re in it - having a season like that for prosperity will be great. I\u2019d just say at times the writing came across a bit too forced, usually much slicker

They will live another day and my opinion will too.
