Ellen DeGeneres is doing her best to make amends after her reputation took a significant hit, triggering the brutal end of her lustrous career as a television mogul and talk show host.
The former actress has been coined a toxic and phony boss by her former employees. Crew and staff members came, but she looked the other way as unforgivable actions, including racism, intimation, sexual harassment to take place in the workplace.
DeGeneres went into hiding after the shocking cancellation of The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May 2022.
In the summer of 2024, DeGeneres decided to return to the spotlight with what she described as her televised performance as a comedian.
On a Netflix special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, the star shared jokes and attempted to tell and explain her side of the story.
Ellen DeGeneres’s most memorable line from the special was when she shockingly confessed, “I was kicked out of show business.”
The reviews of the special were blunt and ugly, with many asking why a privileged multimillionaire thought it was okay to joke instead of apologizing for her behavior and for neglecting the accusation her staff made.
Via Yahoo, it has been revealed that Ellen DeGeneres’s wife, Portia de Rossi, is not at all laughing at the disastrous special, the negative headlines, and the brutal spotlight on the scandal that almost derailed their lives and financial well-being.
According to one source, de Rossi is deeply frustrated that DeGeneres has once more decided to enrage the media and angry ex-staff members with her comic skills, adding more strain to their already tense relationship.
The unfunny jokes have once more created drama at home for the power couple.
The insider stated: “To put it mildly, Ellen’s Netflix special did nothing to reverse her bad reputation. The special flopping has only intensified the talk among Ellen and Portia’s remaining pals in Hollywood that their marriage is in terrible shape…..People can tell that something is ‘off’ because they’ve never really seen Ellen like this before.”
DeGeneres is now desperate to resolve the situation with his anxious wife and is considering her option for a new venture, but there is not much hope that it will succeed.
The source shared: “Ellen, starting a skin care business with Portia, reeks of desperation and suggests that it’s hell at home if they need this new project to work on. It really is the strangest marriage in Hollywood because of all the wacky schemes Ellen has dragged them into as a couple, and a lot of Ellen’s side hustles evaporated after her scandal.”
Supporters are hoping for a rebound.
