Where is Ellen DeGeneres now? A look back on her past controversy and what she’s doing now
Here’s what the former talk show host has been up to since stepping away from Hollywood in the wake of toxic work environment allegations in July 2020.
Ellen DeGeneres is speaking out in her first (and last) Netflix comedy special since ending her eponymous talk show in May 2022.
The comedian stepped away from the spotlight after nearly 20 years on the air following toxic workplace accusations made against her and a report published by BuzzFeed News in July 2020.
Four years later, the former host hit the stage for a three-night stand-up show in Santa Rosa as part of her “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up” tour. During her set, she updated the audience on her life in the wake of the show’s wrap.
“Let me catch you up on what’s been going on with me since you last saw me,” DeGeneres told the crowd at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa, according to SFGate. “I got chickens. Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean.”
