During her performance at the Coronet Theater in West Hollywood in April, Ellen DeGeneres made a solid first impression on the audience. "I got kicked out of Hollywood," the 66-year-old said two years after she resigned from her daytime talk program due to complaints of unhealthy working conditions in the industry.
Fans, however, who were anticipating that her Ellen's “Last Stand... Up” comedy tour and Netflix special would be a scathing critique of Hollywood will be let down.
“Ellen is still struggling to find her voice. Contrary to indications she made a few months ago that she was ready to talk candidly about her scandal and the end of her talk show, things have changed. The material she has now does not go very deep into her scandal at all,” an unnamed source told Star Magazine.
Instead, Ellen will make references to it that are "gentle and vague," according to the unnamed insider, and she will deliver jokes that are more in line with her 2018 special, which is titled "Relatable." It added the fact that the former “Queen of Nice” turned her back on what she had promised in the spring demonstrates that she is uncomfortable with her negative reputation.
“She just wasn’t comfortable talking about that stuff night after night,” the informant told the entertainment news outlet. Due to the fact that the Emmy winner abruptly canceled four series without providing any explanation, it appears that this occurred at the beginning of July.
The magazine has also received information from a second tipster that the native of Louisiana is hoping to completely leave the Hollywood industry. “This is her swan song. When the comedy tour and the Netflix special are over, she’s leaving,” it claimed.
In addition, the mole revealed that that the animal lover and her wife of sixteen years, Portia de Rossi, are making preparations to travel to Africa, where they established a gorilla sanctuary in Rwanda in 2018, as per The Daily Mail.
“They’re going to hang out with the locals there and their beloved gorillas. She’s wants to put her time and energy into things that really matter to her and Portia,” the spy stated.
While there is a possibility that Ellen DeGeneres would consider quitting Hollywood following her involvement in “toxic workplace” scandal, it should be noted that the veteran host has not confirmed anything as of this writing. So, devoted supporters of Portia de Rossi’s wife should take all these speculations lightly until everything is proven true and correct.
