Ellen DeGeneres Addresses Workplace Scandal in Final Comedy Special

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for celebrity trends and a heart for understanding the human side of stardom, I must say Ellen DeGeneres‘ journey is one that resonates deeply. Her ability to confront controversy head-on and maintain her signature wit is nothing short of commendable.


Ellen DeGeneres isn’t afraid to wade into the controversy. 

In her forthcoming Netflix comedy special titled “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval“, Ellen DeGeneres will be discussing various facets of her life following the conclusion of her talk show in 2022, including the controversy surrounding the toxic work environment that was brought to light.

Ellen revealed some updates from her life in her stand-up special preview, set to premiere on September 24. She explained, “Since we last met, I’ve taken up gardening and even got myself a few chickens. Let me think, what else has happened?

The 66-year-old then checked her notes before joking, “Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business.”

Ellen’s statement was, “‘The Altruistic Lady failed to be considerate.’ This was the title,” Ellen went on. “Here’s the predicament: As a comedian who has a talk show, I conclude each episode by encouraging, ‘Show kindness to one another.’ If I had ended my show by saying, ‘Have a lovely time hating each other,’ people would have been amused to learn that I’m actually kind.

2020 saw the lead actor of “Finding Dory” confront accusations of a harmful work environment, sparked by a revealing BuzzFeed News article. Some team members reported experiencing microaggressions, favoritism shown towards executive producers, and sudden dismissals without prior notice.

In that moment, Ellen pledged to make enhancements and issued an apology, stating, “I truly regret any harm caused, and I sincerely apologize to those impacted.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: After wrapping up my upcoming Netflix special, I, Ellen, feel it’s time to bid adieu to the glamorous world of Hollywood permanently. My lovely wife, Portia de Rossi, and I have been married since 2008, and we’ve shared many memorable moments together in this industry. However, as life moves forward, so do our aspirations, and I am ready for a change once the special premieres.

At a comedy show in Santa Rosa, California, on July 1st, an audience member enquired whether there might be upcoming appearances of Ellen on a Broadway stage or in movies soon.

Ellen stated, as reported by SFGATE, “Nope, this will be it.” She added that her upcoming Netflix special would mark the end of her appearances.

However, she expressed gratitude towards her fans who attended her performance, addressing the crowd by saying, “I appreciate your continued interest!
