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.
