Ellen DeGeneres discussed getting the boot from Hollywood and “kicked out of show business” in stand up special after toxic workplace scandal forced her off TV.
Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi reportedly fled the United States after President-elect Donald Trump’s successful bid to return to the White House during the 2024 presidential election.
However, prior to the election cycle, DeGeneres claimed on her “Ellen’s Last Stand … Up” tour that she was kicked out of Hollywood “for being mean.”
While prepping for her big Netflix show earlier this year, the comedian traveled the country and told an audience at a gig in Santa Rosa, California, that she had no plans to continue life in show business.
“This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done”, she told the crowd, according to SFGate. “Thank you for still caring! Let me catch you up on what’s been going on with me since you last saw me. I got chickens.”
DeGeneres added, “Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean.
