<\/p>\nEllen DeGeneres and her family have announced they\u2019re moving away from the United States.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t the first big change in DeGeneres\u2019s life, as she recently also announced her retirement from showbiz.<\/p>\n
The comedian and former talk show host, known for her 19-season run on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, announced that her Netflix special, filmed on August 16, 2024, will be her last professional project.The announcement coincided with her 16th wedding anniversary to Portia de Rossi, a moment she described as \u2018lucky and special.\u2019<\/p>\n
And now, the family is set to depart the US and move abroad.<\/p>\n

DeGeneres rose to fame hosting her daytime talk show, blending comedy, celebrity interviews, and heartfelt human-interest stories.
\nHowever, the show ended in 2022 following allegations of a toxic workplace environment, including claims of harassment and discrimination.<\/p>\n
While DeGeneres herself wasn\u2019t accused of misconduct, the scandal significantly impacted her reputation, and she has largely stayed out of the public eye since.<\/p>\n
Recently, DeGeneres returned to the spotlight with Ellen\u2019s Last Stand\u2026 Up Tour, which she confirmed would mark her farewell to television and film.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on her career\u2019s ups and downs, she said: \u201cThis is the last time you\u2019re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I\u2019m done.\u201d<\/p>\n
The controversy surrounding her show began in 2020, when BuzzFeed published expos\u00e9s alleging a toxic workplace culture.
\nThe reports included claims from current and former employees, one of whom stated: \u201cThat \u2018be kind\u2019 bulls**t only happens when the cameras are on. It\u2019s all for show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cIt\u2019s her responsibility to go beyond what executive producers tell her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although DeGeneres addressed these issues publicly, admitting that things occurred on her show \u2018that should never have happened,\u2019 the scandal marked a turning point in her career.<\/p>\n
In her stand-up routines, DeGeneres has used humor to process the events.<\/p>\n
Joking about her situation, she said: \u201cThis is the second time I\u2019ve been kicked out of show business\u2026 Eventually, they\u2019re going to kick me out for a third time because I\u2019m mean, old, and gay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the jokes, she acknowledged the personal toll, describing the experience as \u2018devastating\u2019 and noting that it left a significant impact on her self-esteem.<\/p>\n
Beyond her career shift, DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have also made major personal changes.
\nThe couple, known for their love of real estate in Montecito, California, recently relocated to the U.K.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
According to reports from The Wrap, the move was motivated by the reelection of former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
The pair, who have reportedly flipped over 21 properties in Santa Barbara County, decided to \u2018get the hell out\u2019 after Trump\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n
DeGeneres and de Rossi purchased a home in the Cotswolds, roughly two hours from London, before the election, but Trump\u2019s win accelerated their plans.<\/p>\n
Despite the relocation, they have yet to decide how much to list their Montecito estate for sale.<\/p>\n
The move to the British countryside seems to be a deliberate step toward a quieter life, away from the extremes of fame.<\/p>\n
This new chapter may offer DeGeneres a chance to heal from the challenges of recent years.\u201cThe \u2018Be kind\u2019 girl wasn\u2019t kind,\u201d she joked in her Netflix special, For Your Approval. \u201cHad I ended my show by saying, \u2018Go f*** yourselves,\u2019 people would have been pleasantly surprised to find out I\u2019m kind.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
