Ellen DeGeneres decided enough is enough and moved to England in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 Presidential Election.
In a world of celebrities threatening to leave the country in the event of a Donald Trump victory, DeGeneres at least deserves credit for actually going through with it. As was the case for most celebs, DeGeneres had backed Kamala Harris over Trump.
The former television personality, who quit showbusiness after claims of a toxic work environment on the set of her self-titled show in 2022, has since reportedly left the United States for the Cotswolds – a rural area in the south of England. DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi are thought to have left their California home in a decision motivated by Trump’s election earlier this month.
Hopefully she’s a fan of European tax rates.
Their property in Montecito will be sold, according to a report by The Wrap.
DeGeneres reportedly bought the sprawling Montecito property in 2019, and she and de Rossi have made it their primary residence; it wasn’t clear what would become of her other Southern California properties. A former spokeswoman for DeGeneres said she is no longer representing the comedian since her comedy special and tour are concluded.
Let’s be honest, would a single person have even noticed she left if it wasn’t being reported?
Many on social media were far from heartbroken by the news.
Others questioned whether the move was a good decision since the Labour Party took power in July 2024.
