Former daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has announced her permanent relocation to Great Britain, attributing her departure from the United States primarily to the recent re-election of Donald Trump.
DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have reportedly settled in the picturesque Cotswolds region of England, over 90 minutes from London.
She has placed her Montecito estate in California on the market, expressing a sentiment of disillusionment with the current political climate at home.
Sources close to DeGeneres indicate that after being implicated in a toxic workplace scandal surrounding "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the couple viewed this move as an opportunity for a fresh start.
In a recent comedy special, DeGeneres didn’t shy away from mentioning her exit from mainstream show business, quipping about her newfound hobbies of gardening and raising chickens.
Online reactions to her move have ranged from mocking to supportive, with many insiders suggesting it’s a welcome opportunity for DeGeneres to escape the realities of American politics.
This shift raises intriguing questions about the motivations of public figures who choose to leave the country after significant political events, suggesting a disconnect between the elite and the broader American populace who continue to support conservative values.
As DeGeneres sets her sights on a new life abroad, one can only hope that she finds the tranquility she seeks, albeit far from the nation she once influenced profoundly.
