Ellen DeGeneres to leave Hollywood after Netflix special: 'This is the last time you're going to see me'

Ellen DeGeneres is saying goodbye to the public eye after her upcoming Netflix special.

During the former talk show host's "Ellen’s Last Stand…Up" stop in Santa Rosa, California, earlier this month, DeGeneres announced that she's leaving Hollywood after a fan asked if she had plans on film making or Broadway.

"Um, no," DeGeneres replied, according to SFGate. "This is the last time you're going to see me. After my Netflix special, I'm done." Per People, DeGeneres' comedy special is set to premiere later this year.

ELLEN DEGENERES ON TALK SHOW ENDING AFTER 19 SEASONS: ‘I WAS CRYING EVERY DAY'

She continued, "Thank you for still caring! Let me catch you up on what's been going on with me since you last saw me. I got chickens."

Ellen jokingly added, "Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean."

"Next time, I’ll be kicked out for being old," she joked. "Old, gay and mean, the triple crown."

Ellen segued into how her view of fame has changed since the beginning of her career.

"I used to say, ‘I don’t care what people say about me,’" DeGeneres said, according to SFGate. "Now I realize I said that during the height of my popularity."

DeGeneres later noted, "I am many things, but I am not mean."

DeGeneres' rep did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

In April, Degeneres opened up about the toxic workplace scandal that derailed her career and damaged her reputation in 2020.

During a stand-up routine in Los Angeles at the time, the former host of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" reflected on getting "kicked out of show business" for being "mean."

"What else can I tell you?" she sarcastically told fans, according to Rolling Stone. "Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business. There’s no mean people in show business." 

Degeneres' show was not only rocked by bombshell accusations of a toxic work environment, there were also several former employee testimonials of sexually inappropriate behavior by ousted producers. One producer had also reportedly been at the heart of the complaints of poor workplace culture.

The year of brutal headlines damaged the host’s reputation, leading to DeGeneres announcing the end of her show in 2021 and apologizing to staff. The final episode aired in May of 2022.

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes.

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024.

This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward.
