Former daytime talk show host Ellen DeGeneres discussed her departure from television following claims of a “toxic” workplace during a new standup set.  The 66-year-old celeb reflected on being “kicked out of show business” for being “mean” during a comedy show at the Largo in Los Angeles last week‚ per People. DeGeneres also claimed to have become the “most hated person in America” after the report about “Ellen” being a toxic workplace full of intimidation and even alleged sexual abuse was published by Buzzfeed News in July 2020. DeGeneres denied knowledge of any wrongdoing but apologized to employees and fans anyway. “I take [the allegations] very seriously and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected. I know that I’m in a position of privilege and power and I realized that with that comes responsibility‚ and I take responsibility for what happens at my show‚” she said in September 2020. The show was canceled shortly after‚ though it was never disclosed if the scandal was the driving decision in ending “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” after 19 seasons.  “The hate went on for a long time and I would try to avoid looking at the news‚” she recalled. “The ‘be kind’ girl wasn’t kind. That was the headline‚” she said‚ per the outlet.  She reminded the audience how she concluded each episode of her eponymous talk show by reminding viewers to “Be kind to one another.” DeGeneres said that line became a “problem” because viewers started seeing her as a “one-dimensional character who gave stuff away and danced up steps.” “For those of you keeping score‚ this is the second time I’ve been kicked out of show business…Eventually they’re going to kick me out for a third time because I’m mean‚ old‚ and gay‚” she joked‚ referencing being shunned after coming out as gay in the 1990s and having her show canceled. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP “It’s been such a toll on my ego and my self-esteem‚” DeGeneres added. “There’s such extremes in this business‚ people either love you and idolize you or they hate you‚ and those people somehow are louder.” When an audience member asked if she danced during hard times during a Q&;A portion of her set‚ DeGeneres quipped‚ “No… It’s hard to dance when you’re crying.” She also admitted to having “a hard time” and not going out after the scandal went viral. “I’m making jokes about what happened to me‚ but it was devastating‚” DeGeneres added. “It took a long time for me to want to do anything again.” The comedian added that she “hated the way the show ended” because she “loved that show so much.”

As the dust settles from the 2020 presidential election‚ former rivals Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis have set aside their differences to strategize the future of the Republican Party. In a historic meeting‚ the two conservative powerhouses put their past disagreements aside and joined forces to discuss the defeat of President Biden. The meeting‚ which took place in Florida‚ was a symbolic gesture of unity within the party. It signified a new era of collaboration and cooperation between two prominent figures in conservative politics. As Trump and DeSantis shook hands and posed for photos‚ their message was clear: it's time to move forward and work together for the greater good of the party. Ron DeSantis and Tim Scott would be absolute DISASTERS anywhere near the Trump 2024 campaign/administration. Anyone pushing either of these people is part of a larger faction attempting to subvert and hijack MAGA. I won't be moved on this. — Brenden Dilley (@WarlordDilley) April 29‚ 2024 Both Trump and DeSantis have faced criticism for their handling of the election and their refusal to accept the outcome. However‚ their shared belief in conservative values and the need to keep the Democratic agenda at bay has brought them together once again. The meeting was a powerful statement that the Republican Party is united and ready to take on any challenges that come their way. During their private meeting‚ Trump and DeSantis discussed a variety of topics‚ including the 2022 midterm elections‚ potential candidates for the 2024 presidential race‚ and how to combat the Biden administration's policies. The former president‚ who still holds significant influence within the party‚ offered his advice and insights to the current governor of Florida‚ solidifying their alliance. Rumor is that Trump and DeSantis had a meeting in Miami. Be honest….. Would you vote for a Trump and DeSantis ticket&;#63; pic.twitter.com/2SsnoHEJEC — Mrs Denosko (@Denosko1) April 29‚ 2024 Some may view this meeting as a reconciliation between two former rivals‚ but from a conservative standpoint‚ it is a strategic move towards a brighter future for the Republican Party. With the Biden administration pushing a progressive agenda‚ the need for a strong and unified conservative front is more crucial than ever. And Trump and DeSantis understand this better than anyone. The meeting has sparked excitement and optimism among conservative circles‚ with many seeing it as a potential comeback for Trump in the 2024 presidential race. As the two leaders emerged from their meeting‚ they were met with a sea of supporters‚ cheering and holding up signs of encouragement. It was a moment that symbolized hope and determination for the future of the party. Of course‚ the mainstream media and liberal voices will criticize this meeting‚ labeling it as a desperate attempt to regain power. But from a conservative point of view‚ it is a bold move towards preserving the values and principles that our country was built upon. Trump and DeSantis are not backing down‚ and their message to the American people is clear: we will continue to fight for what we believe in.
