The presenter bids farewell after more than 40 years
Beyond Oprah Winfrey, few have made as significant a mark on American television as Ellen DeGeneres. However, after over 40 years in show business, the comedian and presenter has announced her retirement. This news came from Santa Clara, California, where DeGeneres held a press conference to address journalists and fans.
When asked if she planned to return after her tour for her show “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up,” DeGeneres replied firmly, “No. This is the last time you’ll see me. After my Netflix special, I don’t want any more.
” She provided no further details, simply stating, “I’m leaving, goodbye.” Despite fans pleading for her to stay, DeGeneres remained resolute in her decision.
Her departure follows a tumultuous period marked by accusations of a toxic work environment on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
In 2020, a complaint surfaced, alleging DeGeneres created a fear-filled atmosphere for her staff, leading to multiple similar accusations. This scandal contributed to a significant decline in the show’s viewership, ultimately resulting in its cancellation.
As Ellen DeGeneres steps away from the limelight, her impact on American television remains undeniable, though her legacy is now marred by controversy.
