Ellen DeGeneres was accused of “infesting the Cotswolds” by emigrating to the U.K. following the 2024 presidential election.

Former White House chief strategist and Donald Trump ally, Steve Bannon, claimed the former talk-show host decided to leave America in protest against the president-elect’s second term in office.

Bannon accused DeGeneres and her wife, Portia De Rossi, of “whining like little children” and deciding to “get the h— out”, vowing to never come back.

He said: “F— them. They’re not resilient… They had every advantage of state power.

“They had the high ground. And guess what, we broke them.”

The former Trump aide also believes the president-elect’s ally, Nigel Farage, will be Britain’s next prime minister, with Reform U.K. overtaking the Tories at the country’s upcoming general election.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, insiders claim the comedian’s move across the pond to kick off her “retirement” is said to have nothing to do with Trump.

A source claimed DeGeneres and de Rossi had already listed their home for sale long before the GOP candidate defeated Kamala Harris.

They said: “Make no mistake about it. This is Ellen and Portia’s retirement.

“Neither one of them have any projects lined up.

“Ellen really felt she had made her mark on the industry, but that was diminished when she was canceled over her alleged treatment of her staff.

“Then to have celebrities call her out one by one was so hurtful.”
