Ellen DeGeneres Leaves United States, Flees to England over Trump Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

Comedienne and former talk show powerhouse Ellen DeGeneres has fled the United States for the England in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris.

A source close to DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi told TheWrap that the celebrity couple have placed their Montecito home on the market and moved to Cotswolds – a rural part of England. Trump’s election was allegedly the couple’s primary motivation. Per TheWrap:

Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have moved to rural England, put their Montecito estate on the market and plan to never return to the United States, telling friends the election of Donald Trump was their primary motivation, a person close to the former TV host told TheWrap.

Though the incoming Republican administration was the cited catalyst, a fresh start couldn’t hurt: DeGeneres has been open about being “kicked out of show business” after reports of toxic workplace behavior at the syndicated “Ellen” show in 2022.

DeGeneres has already moved to the Cotswolds, a rural area in south-central England, the person said, adding that her Montecito mansion, roughly 90 minutes north of Los Angeles, has been pocket-listed or will be listed soon. A representative for Riskin Partners, the prestigious real estate company she retains, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

Ellen Speaks for America: Obamacare ‘Doing Very, Very Well…I Think Everyone’s Very Grateful You Did This’

Photo Credit: YouTubeEllen DeGeneres was a completely slavish toady to President Obama as he appeared on her show to sell Obamacare — not to young people, but to mothers.

The president made his pitch to “especially all the moms out there who may have young people – 26, 27, do not have health insurance, but they think they’re invincible and nothing’s ever going to happen to ‘em – what we’ve said is you never know what life is going to throw at ya.” For example, a president who lies about keeping your plan and keeping your doctor. You didn’t see that coming! But DeGeneres said “everyone’s very grateful” for Obamacare:

DEGENERES: It’s doing very, very well…you’ve got 5 million people signed up so far. [Applause] An enormous number of people have signed up, so it’s successful….Well, for people who are starting to applaud here, I think everyone’s very grateful that you did this. And I think it is important for people to sign up. It’s just better to be covered. You just never know.

Her husband could be out of a job in 48 hours, but Michelle Obama could step into a new career as a chat show host.

TV executives believe the First Lady would be a natural to become a talk show host. She has even been compared to Oprah Winfrey, the queen of chat show hosts and one of the most recognisable names in show business.

“Personally I would like to see her in the White House,” said Hilary Estey McLoughlin, president of syndication company behind the Ellen DeGeneres show. “But if she were not going to be in the White House, I’d love to see her as the host of a show. She’s amazing.”

And former CNN president Jon Klein agreed that the First Lady would be snapped up by TV chiefs if her husband does not win a second term in office. “Daytime syndicators are desperate for a new voice and she is tailor made for it,” he told TV Guide magazine.
