Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have reportedly fled the United States following President-elect Donald Trump’s successful bid to return to the White House in the 2024 presidential election.

However, before the election cycle, DeGeneres claimed on her “Ellen’s Last Stand … Up” tour that she was kicked out of Hollywood “for being mean.”

While preparing for her big Netflix show earlier this year, the comedian traveled across the country and told audiences at a show in Santa Rosa, California that she had no plans to continue living in show business.

“This is the last time you’ll see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done,” she told the crowd, according to SFGate. “Thank you for still caring! Let me tell you what’s been going on with me since you last saw me. I have chickens.”

“Oh yeah, and I got fired from show business for being mean,” DeGeneres added. “Next time, I’ll get fired for being old. Old, gay and mean, the triple crown.”

During the open mic night, she noted how her perspective on fame has changed since the beginning of her career.

“I used to say, ‘I don’t care what people say about me.’ Now I realize that I said that during my fame,” DeGeneres said. “I was a lot of things, but I wasn’t meant to be.”

The longtime comedian has been rocked by allegations of a toxic workplace on her eponymous show, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” as well as allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior by fired producers. One producer is also said to be at the center of complaints about poor workplace culture.

The allegations ultimately led to the show ending in 2021 after 19 seasons. The final episode aired in May 2022.

In her Netflix special, “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval,” DeGeneres addresses being “out of show business.”

“The ‘nice’ girl isn’t nice — that’s the headline,” DeGeneres said. “Here’s the thing: I’m a comedian who does a talk show, and I end my show every day by saying, ‘Be nice to each other.’ If I ended my show by saying, ‘Go fuck yourself,’ people would be pleasantly surprised to find out I’m a nice person.”

DeGeneres and de Rossi sold their Montecito home in August, Fox News Digital confirmed with the couple’s rep, Riskin Partners.

A source told People magazine that the couple went house hunting in the English countryside last month. “Ellen went house hunting in England in early October,” the insider confirmed. “She eventually found a house she loved and bought it soon after.”

DeGeneres previously shared her support for Vice President Kamala Harris to become the next president of the United States by retweeting Taylor Swift’s social media endorsement.

“This childless cat lady couldn’t agree more,” DeGeneres wrote, seemingly referencing past comments made by Vice President-elect JD Vance.
