^ I had a similar feeling about seeing Phylicia Rashad in the Sunday in the Park with George concert. I didn't want to see her, I didn't want to acknowledge her presence with applause, and I would never buy a ticket based on her name alone.
(This is one reason I don't love when performers are on social media. I was really bummed to find out about Ebersole's beliefs, because I've always liked her as a performer. I didn't seek the information, but it was put out there, it's something I strongly disagree with and that makes her someone I'm not really interested in supporting anymore. She has every right to voice her beliefs, but she has to know that it will make her product that much harder to sell.)
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.
