Ellen DeGeneres Reportedly Moves To England After Trump Victory

Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has reportedly had it with the United States and has already moved into a home in rural England with her wife Portia De Rossi following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.

Sources with knowledge told The Wrap that the 66-year-old comedian/actress and Rossi purchased the home in South West England — two hours outside of London — before voters in America went to the polls and voted to send Trump back to the White House.

An insider reportedly told TMZ that the main reason for the move was because of Trump’s victory against Vice President Kamala Harris. The two were reportedly “very disillusioned” with Trump winning, and immediately decided “to get the hell out,” a source told the outlet.

Multiple reports also claimed that DeGeneres planned to put up their sprawling estate in Montecito, California, that she bought in 2019, the outlet noted.

During the election, the actress put her support behind Harris and reportedly donated $3,300 to her campaign, Page Six reported.

“There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!” DeGeneres wrote on Instagram. “I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president.”

Earlier this year, the former host of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” announced that she was walking away from show business with her final stand-up comedy special for Netflix, “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval.”

During the special, DeGeneres laughed off the idea that she was ever mean after being canceled due to “toxic” workplace claims on her talk show after 19 seasons. A Buzzfeed report published in 2020 about “The Ellen Show” claimed it was a “toxic” workplace — full of intimidation and even alleged sexual abuse.

“Alright, let me catch you up on what’s been going on with me since you last saw me,” DeGeneres said in the special. “I got chickens. … Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business for being mean.”

At one point, she talked about how this was her second ousting from show business, the first being in 1997 when she came out as a lesbian.

“Kicked me out before because I told them I was gay. No gay people in show business. They kick you out. Can’t be gay and be in show business,” Ellen joked. “Eventually they’re going to kick me out a third time for being old — mean, old, and gay, the triple crown.”

Near the end of the hour-plus special, DeGeneres looped back around again to being labeled mean and said that she’d “spent an entire lifetime trying to make people happy. And I’ve cared far too much what other people think of me.”

“So after a lifetime of caring, I just can’t anymore. So, I don’t,” DeGeneres said. “I have a choice of people remembering me as someone who is mean or someone who is beloved … beloved, I chose that.”

DeGeneres closed the show by saying, “I’m so glad I got to say goodbye on my terms.”
