The hate for Ellen is so irrational. Ellen has been friends with Freya for 10+ years so she's obviously going to have a lot of trust in her. It doesn't help that Freya is a master manipulator that has manipulated EVERYONE around her all these years. Don't blame Ellen for not immediately believing that Freya is a terrible person. She's not stupid at all. Obviously the readers know both sides so they know Freya is a b!tch. If readers were in Ellen's position, they'd also be clueless since they would only know one side of the actual situation.
