It’s no surprise that Ellen DeGeneres, a celebrity who has consistently shown disdain for conservative values, has chosen to flee to Great Britain following President Trump’s election victory. Her decision to abandon the United States is telling of her inability to accept the results of a democratic election and her unwillingness to embrace the changes brought by a Republican administration.
DeGeneres’ lavish Montecito mansion “has been pocket-listed or will be listed soon,” signaling her determination to cut ties with America.
JUST IN: Ellen DeGeneres has moved to Great Britain and says she is "never coming back" to the United States after Trump's election win.

As reported by The Wrap, “Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have moved to rural England, put their Montecito estate on the market and plan to never return to the United States, telling friends the election of Donald Trump was their primary motivation.” This move underscores her refusal to engage in meaningful dialogue with those who hold differing political views.
While DeGeneres cites the Republican administration as the reason for her departure, one can’t ignore how convenient it is for her to start anew after facing backlash for creating a toxic work environment on her syndicated “Ellen” show in 2022. It appears that running away from accountability is easier than addressing one’s own shortcomings.
