Josh Duhamel defends ex

In case you missed it, earlier this week, pop star Fergie of Black Eyed Peas fame gave a, uh, questionable rendition of the national anthem at the NBA All-Star game.

To be fair, it's a very hard song to sing, but because this version was just so... unique, it sparked plenty of memes and criticism.

But not everyone's a critic. In fact, the singer's ex-husband and father of her child, Josh Duhamel, came to her defense on The Ellen Show.

"I think that she would probably admit that it's not her best work," Duhamel said, referring to the incident. "But the girl's crazy talented. She really is."

In case you were worried about how Fergie's handling the criticism, rest assured, she's doing just fine. Duhamel reassured everyone that Fergie is "resilient as they come."

Though the couple announced their split last fall, they continue to support each other--even through the vicious whims of the internet.

It's nice to hear that even after that embarrassing flub and the resulting memes, Fergie's still full-on Fergalicious.
