Ellen drew a comparison between the recent cancelation of her talk show and the cancelation of her sitcom Ellen in 1998, when she came out as gay. She humorously remarked that she has been kicked out of show business twice now and joked that she will likely be kicked out a third time because of her age and sexual orientation.
However, Ellen also shared that she is going through a difficult time, particularly due to her mother, Betty DeGeneres, suffering from dementia. She opened up about the challenges of caring for her mother who no longer recognizes her, and how this has impacted her sense of identity without her show. Despite facing these personal struggles, Ellen continues to have the support of some celebrities while others have distanced themselves. Her candid revelations show a vulnerable side to the comedian and TV host that fans may not have seen before.
