Ellen DeGeneres flees America before Trump can come to power

Ellen DeGeneres said her recent stand-up special on Netflix would be her last. And now, after being “kicked out of show business,” as she put it, the comedian has apparently banished herself to the other side of the pond.

According to multiple reports on Wednesday, DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, have put their Montecito, California, home on the market and fled the country for Britain with no plans to return — a move that was dismissed by the election of Donald Trump this year. month.

The Daily Beast has reached out to both DeGeneres and de Rossi for comment.

Someone “close to the former TV host” told TheWrap that Trump’s decisive victory was the main impetus for the move and that the couple might never return to the United States. Just a few months earlier, DeGeneres sold a separate home near Santa Barbara for a whopping $96 million.

Another source told TMZ that the couple bought their new home in the Cotswolds region of rural England before the election, but were “very disillusioned” with the results and decided to “move out.”

“There is nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president,” DeGeneres posted on her Instagram account after Joe Biden stepped aside over the summer. She later shared a video of De Rossi wearing a ‘Kamala’ t-shirt just before the election.

In her Netflix special For your approvalwhich was released in September, DeGeneres opened up about the experience of being “cancelled” for allegedly assaulting her daytime talk show staff. She also revealed that she had recently been diagnosed with OCD, ADHD and ‘full-blown osteoporosis’.
