Ellen’s decision to leave the U.S. follows her Netflix comedy special Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, in which she addressed the controversy surrounding the end of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

In the special Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, Ellen joked about her reputation, saying that she was called “the most hated person in America.” But, she adds, “there was no awards ceremony, no banquet — nothing.” However, she says she made a sash to wear around her house. Despite her attempts to lighten the narrative, many viewers remain divided.

Ellen and Portia’s move has generated various reactions among fans and observers. Supporters view the relocation as a positive step, allowing the couple to distance themselves from the challenges of their past and focus on a quieter life abroad. On the other hand, critics interpret the decision as an effort to evade the lingering fallout from the controversy surrounding The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
While some see the move as an opportunity for the couple to start fresh, others remain skeptical about Ellen’s ability to rebuild her public image, even in a new country. The relocation has undoubtedly reignited debates about her legacy and the broader implications of celebrity accountability.
As Ellen and Portia settle into life in England, they join a growing list of celebrities seeking solace in the Cotswolds. Their high-profile move is sure to keep fans and critics alike watching closely.
