Ellen DeGeneres is touring the United States with her latest comedy show. It will be broadcast on Netflix at the end of this year. This marks her return to stand-up after a six-year hiatus following the show "Ellen DeGeneres: Relatable," available on the same platform.

During one of the performances, fans of the famous comedian were lucky enough to participate in a meeting where audience questions were asked. Someone asked about Ellen's potential return to cinema, referring to her excellent voice acting as Dory in "Finding Nemo." DeGeneres responded:

- I’m going bye-bye, remember. This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.

Ellen DeGeneres' troubles

The original "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" was broadcast for nearly 20 years and became iconic on American TV. Many stars came to Ellen, who also knew and were friends with her. Not only did celebrities appear on the show, but also people who gained 15 minutes of fame online. The show had a great sense of what intrigued people and what was being discussed.

In 2020, reports began to surface that the producer allegedly mistreated employees, and the atmosphere on set was far from what the cameras showed. The star of the popular talk show was accused of bullying, and the matter was taken up by a special commission from WarnerMedia.

The COVID-19 pandemic was tough for those working in the entertainment industry. In the early months of 2020, over 30 people working on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" as lighting technicians, cameramen, etc., were not informed by the production for over two weeks about what awaited them in the near future. Calls to producers yielded no results. Eventually, they were told to prepare for 60% pay cuts. The decision was made to take the show off the air.

Ellen DeGeneres responds to the allegations

The tour with the comedy show is an opportunity for Ellen to address the scandal surrounding the show and its employees. During one of the performances, she said:

- Let me catch you up on what's been going on with me since you last saw me. I got chickens. Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean. - Then she added: I am many things. But I am not mean.
