Im friends with a lot of people who dont share the same beliefs that I have, DeGeneres said.
When I say be kind to one another, she added, I dont mean only the people that think the same way that you do. I mean be kind to everyone.
Jamil shared the video of DeGeneres explanation Tuesday on social media much like Reese Witherspoon and her The Good Place co-star Kristen Bell .
