Ellen DeGeneres has officially announced her retirement from the entertainment world following her upcoming Netflix special. The former talk show host confirmed that after the release of ‘Ellen’s Last Stand…Up Tour’ in theaters later this year, she will step back from the spotlight.
While addressing her audience during a performance in Santa Rosa, California, she responded to a fan’s question about where they might see her next. Ellen stated, “No. This is the last time you will see me. After my Netflix special, I’m retiring.”
She expressed gratitude to her fans, saying, “Thank you for continuing to care! Let me tell you what’s happened since the last time you saw me. I have chickens.”
The 66-year-old star reflected on the conclusion of her long-running show, ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show,’ which aired for 19 seasons from 2003 to 2022. The final season, however, was overshadowed by allegations of toxic behavior among some executives in 2020, who were later dismissed. Ellen acknowledged this, saying, “Oh yes. I got kicked out of the entertainment world for being bad.”
She humorously suggested that she would eventually be retired for being “old, gay, and bad,” labeling it as a “triple crown.” Ellen had previously stated, “I used to say, ‘I don’t care what people say about me.’ Now I realize I said that at the peak of my popularity. I’m many things, but I’m not bad.”
In April, Ellen admitted that she had become “the most hated person in America” at one point. After her show ended, she took a step back from the public eye but made a comeback in April with her stand-up performance at Largo in Los Angeles.
Reflecting on her time away from the spotlight, she told the audience, “I was kicked out of the entertainment world. There aren’t bad people in showbiz… I became the most hated person in America… the hate lasted a long time, and I tried to avoid watching the news. The girl who said ‘be kind’ wasn’t being kind. That was the headline.”
As Ellen embarks on this new chapter of her life, fans will undoubtedly remember her impact on television and her humorous yet candid reflections on her journey.
