Ellen DeGeneres Blames Trump for Leaving the U.S.
Ellen DeGeneres Leaves U.S. Over Trump’s Political Comeback
Permanent Move to the UK
Ellen DeGeneres revealed she and wife Portia de Rossi have permanently moved to the UK, citing Donald Trump’s political resurgence. “We got here the day before the election… and I was like, ‘He got in.’ And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here,’” she said at a Cheltenham event.
A Simpler Life Abroad
Now living in the Cotswolds, DeGeneres says they’re embracing “clean air,” “polite people,” and better animal welfare. “Everything here is just better,” she added.
Concerns Over LGBTQ+ Rights
She criticized efforts in the U.S. to revisit same-sex marriage rights: “The Baptist Church in America is trying to reverse gay marriage.”
Controversy and Comeback
This move follows years of backlash after a toxic workplace scandal ended her talk show. Her Netflix special For Your Approval was poorly received. “I have to just trust that whatever happened… happened for a reason,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
