Ellen DeGeneres flees United States over Trump's win

 November 22, 2024

Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is fleeing the United State over President-elect Trump's election victory.

While celebrities have frequently threatened to leave the country in protest of Trump, DeGeneres is actually putting her money where her mouth is.

The comedian has already moved to the Cotswolds, a picturesque region of England, with her partner, Portia De Rossi, according to The Wrap.

A source close to the former TV host said she listed her mansion outside of Los Angeles and has plans "to never return to the United States."

According to TMZ, the pair had already snapped up their new home before the election, but they just couldn't take four more years of Trump.

A popular retreat for the rich and famous, the Cotswolds is a region of southwestern England famous for its beautiful stone architecture and rolling hills.

While Trump has given her an incentive to leave, DeGeneres' ties to the U.S. were already frayed after the former entertainment icon announced her retirement from show business this year.

Her career went into decline following allegations of workplace bullying that emerged in 2020.

Cancelled comedian's farewell

In her final Netflix special before retirement, released this year, the openly gay comedian - once seen as a trailblazer - joked about being "kicked out" of show business over her new "mean" image.

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

The comedian explained that she is done trying to please people after spending her career making others happy.

“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.”

It's sad that DeGeneres doesn't realize she's a victim of the intolerant liberalism that she has long supported - and continues to back with her very public protest of Trump.

But DeGeneres at least deserves some credit for actually leaving the U.S. She has more integrity than a blubbering fool like Jimmy Kimmel, who cried on his late-night show after Trump's win.

As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.
