Following the election, plenty of people threaten to leave the country. Ellen DeGeneres is actually doing it.
The former television personality and comedian has put her home in Montecito, California up for sale and has relocated to Cotswolds, a rural area in south central England. According to TheWrap, DeGeneres has told friends that Donald Trump’s impending return to the White House is the primary motivation for the move.
It also helps that DeGeneres is largely retired from the entertainment industry after her daytime talk show ended following accusations of a toxic work environment. Earlier this year, she embarked on a farewell standup tour, during which she claimed she claimed to have been “kicked out of show business.” She said that once the tour concluded it would be “the last time you’re going to see me.”
A Netflix special, which was taped during her farewell tour, premiered in September.
