In hilarious news from unfunny “comedian” and actress Ellen DeGeneres, a source close to her has said that she and her “partner,” have fled America for Europe in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election and will not be coming back for the foreseeable future.

Ellen’s news comes on the heels of many celebrities having utter meltdowns about the former president’s victory, despite the relatively moderate nature of his first term. Adding to the hilarity of the freakout is that even far-left “Morning Joe” co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and had a pleasant time, reeling in the fear they formerly spread.

The source on DeGeneres fleeing from Montecito, California, where she owned a large home, spoke to media outlet TheWrap. That source said that DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi placed their Montecito home on the market and have moved to the Cotswolds, a famous and pleasant part of rural southern England. TheWrap, reporting on the matter:

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, a person close to the former TV host told TheWrap.
Continuing, The Wrap went on to note that it was the re-election of former President Donald Trump in the November 5 presidential election, a victory substantial enough that it was able to be called in the wee hours of the morning the day after, was the spark for DeGeneres’ decision to leave the country. It reported:

Though the incoming Republican administration was the cited catalyst, a fresh start couldn’t hurt: DeGeneres has been open about being “kicked out of show business” after reports of toxic workplace behavior at the syndicated “Ellen” show in 2022.
Further, the report noted, adding to the sense that Ellen isn’t going to be coming back, that the LA-area mansion for Ellen is either on the market or soon will be, but that the real estate company she uses did not respond to a comment request about the matter. TheWrap reported:

DeGeneres has already moved to the Cotswolds, a rural area in south-central England, the person said, adding that her Montecito mansion, roughly 90 minutes north of Los Angeles, has been pocket-listed or will be listed soon. A representative for Riskin Partners, the prestigious real estate company she retains, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
Ellen has not spoken about the matter, though she has in past spoken about how she is friends with Establishment Republican George W. Bush. She said, after being caught on camera hanging outwith him, “Here’s the thing: I’m friends with George Bush. In fact, I’m friends with a lot of people who don’t share the same beliefs that I have.”

Continuing on that same point, DeGeneras added that different viewpoints are a good thing, or at least okay, making her flight to England all the funnier. She said, “We’re all different and I think that we’ve forgotten that that’s okay that we’re all different… but just because I don’t agree with someone on everything doesn’t mean that I’m not going to be friends with them.”
