Ellen returns to stand-up comedy for a tour and what she claims will be her final comedy special two years after a scandal led to the end of her popular daytime talk show.
In April, she complained in an earlier stand-up show in Largo that being “the most hated person in America” had made her a recluse.
The controversy flared in 2020, when DeGeneres was accused by former employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show of fostering an environment in which executives could allegedly bully and sexually harass employees and make racist statements.
An investigation launched by WarnerMedia led to the firing of three executives, and Ellen claimed in a letter to her staff that she was completely unaware of any incidents they allegedly experienced.
Despite her seemingly apologetic tone, DeGeneres later described the controversy as a “coordinated misogynistic” attack, saying she couldn’t possibly have known what was going on with all of her employees, considering there were approximately 225 people working on the show. several buildings.
She eventually parted ways with her long-running series in 2022 after 19 seasons on air.
Kim stepped out amid furore for appearing on Variety’s Actors in the Actors series opposite Oscar-nominated actress Chloe Sevigny.

“It’s easy to make jokes about this video, but it’s a real slap in the face to real artists in the film industry,” a fourth pointed out. “The fact that someone like Kim K can just decide to become a top-tier actor, while those who put their whole souls into it will probably never be seen on Actors on Actors… just deeply disturbing.”
