Ellen DeGeneres reveals the precise day she looks like she’s quitting show business
Ellen DeGeneres has revealed the exact date that fans are going to see her in showbusiness.
According to Variety, some employees alleged racism, sexual misconduct, and intimidation at the hands of executive producers.
There were also allegations that several workers feared taking medical leave for risk of penalization, and faced retribution for raising complaints.
Amid the media storm, DeGeneres apologized at the time, saying: “I’m in a position of privilege and power and… I take responsibility for what happens at my show.”
But the show never recovered from the scandal and ended its 19-year run in May 2022.
Now, DeGeneres has returned to the stage as a stand-up comedian as part of her Netflix Last Stand… Up Tour.
And it would appear that she is living up to the tour’s name, revealing last month that she will be “done” with showbusiness once the tour has ended.
During the Q&A section of the show last month, one audience member asked DeGeneres if she would return to films after the tour concluded, or if she would like to do theater on Broadway.
“Um, no,” the comic responded, according to SFGate. “This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”
