As Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi left the United States after Donald Trump‘s win, an old video of Ellen offering her mother to a young Donald rump for dating has gone viral. Ellen has not spoken about it and nobody has officially confirmed that they left the US because of Donald Trump’s win, but TMZ reported citing sources that they were very disillusioned with Trump’s victory and they immediately decided to “get the hell out” but it was on their mind for sometimes.
Ellen endorsed Kamala Harris in the election and also reportedly donated $3,300 to her campaign. “There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president,” Ellen wrote in support of Kamala Harris.
The Wrap reported that Ellen and Portia fled the country and they plan ‘never to return to the US’. The couple of 16 years moved to the Cotswolds in South West England and plans to sell their Montecito mansion. The England property was bought before the election but the election result is believed to have expedited their move.
British broadcaster Piers Morgan mockingly reacted to the news writing: “OMG…no!”. Ellen was forced to end her Ellen Degeneres Show after a report accused her of fostering a toxic workplace environment.
After Ellen’s news, an old clip of Ellen with Donald Trump went viral in which Ellen offered her mother to Trump for dating – as part of the joke they were playing. “I see a beautiful woman up there. That’s your mother, isn’t it?” Trump said. “Yeah, look at her. And she is available if you are interested. I’d like to offer her…” Ellen said evoking laughter and clapping. “She’s very pretty,” Donald Trump said.
Conservatives reacted sharply to Ellen’s exit from the US and called it good riddance. “Tell me you are on the Diddy list without saying you are on the diddy list,” one posted. “Everyone in Hollywood knows she’s an evil woman, thet’re all just too afraid to talk about it,” another post read.
“Ellen fled because she knows that the hammer of justice is headed to Hollywood. Running scared,” a post read.
Social media users also dug up the death of Ellen’s ex Ann Heche who passed away in a car accident in 2022. Heche had previously accused Ellen of controlling behavior. DeGeneres’ former associate tWitch also died by suicide in 2022.
