Ellen DeGeneres acknowledges that being called mean following talk show sсаոdаl was dеvаstаting
«I’m happy not being a boss or a brand or a billboard, just a person,» DeGeneres said in her final Netflix special, ‘Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval’
Two years after The Ellen DeGeneres Show came to an end, Ellen DeGeneres is getting candid about how toxic workplace allegations made against her affected her mental health.
The allegations, first made public in a report published by BuzzFeed News in July 2020, were addressed by the comedian, 66, in her final Netflix special Ellen Degeneres: For Your Approval, which premiered on Tuesday, Sept. 24.
«I’m happy not being a boss or a brand or a billboard, just a person,» said DeGeneres, whose talk show ran from 2003 to 2022 for 19 seasons.
«Just a multifaceted person with different feelings and emotions, and I can be happy and sad and compassionate or frustrated. I have OCD and ADD. I’m honest. I’m generous.
I’m sensitive and thoughtful,» she continued. «But I’m tough, and I’m impatient, and I’m demanding. I’m direct. I’m a strong woman.»
After being met with roaring cheers from the audience and receiving a standing ovation, she mouthed «thank you» to the crowd and declared she was «proud of who I’ve become.»
