Ellen, in her recent interview, compared the cancellation of her talk show to the cancelation of her sitcom Ellen in 1998 when she came out as gay. She jokingly remarked that she has been kicked out of show business twice now and is likely to be kicked out a third time due to her age and sexual orientation. However, Ellen also shared about the difficult time she is going through, particularly because of 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 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.
