Ellen DeGeneres, at 66, has announced that she is ready to step away from show business after the release of her Netflix stand-up special later this year. This declaration was made during her comedy show in Santa Rosa on July 1, where she stated that this would be the last time fans would see her. DeGeneres, who faced controversy in the past due to workplace claims, addressed the issue during her recent stand-up performances. Despite the end of her eponymous talk show in 2022, she emphasizes that her decision to leave the industry is not related to behind-the-scenes controversy. The Emmy winner is currently on her "Ellen’s Last Stand... Up" tour, with plans to make her upcoming Netflix special her final one. With a successful career behind her, DeGeneres is ready to close this chapter and move on to new challenges.
