Ellen DeGeneres has announced her permanent exit from show business following controversies surrounding staff mistreatment. The former Ellen DeGeneres Show host revealed her decision during her farewell tour, Ellen’s Last Stand…Up, set to premiere on Netflix. Despite fans hoping for a return to Broadway or the big screen, DeGeneres firmly stated that this would be the last time they will see her. Online response to her departure has been brutal, with many mocking the announcement and claiming she will not be missed. DeGeneres acknowledged her reputation for being demanding and tough but denied being mean, expressing regret for any unintentional hurt caused. The Ellen DeGeneres Show faced allegations of racism and a toxic work environment in 2020, leading to an internal investigation and the dismissal of three producers. DeGeneres voluntarily ended the show in 2021. Ellen DeGeneres' comedy special is scheduled to stream on Netflix later this year.
