Popular Actress Announces Retirement From Showbiz

American actress and TV host, Ellen DeGeneres has announced her retirement from showbiz.

The comedian and host of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” which ended in 2022, is currently on a 27-stop farewell tour.

She told audiences at the Santa Rosa leg of her tour on July 3 that the tour was farewell.

“This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done,” she said July 3.

When an audience member asked if she would reprise her role as Dory in “Finding Nemo,” she held firm.

“No, I’m going bye-bye, remember,” she said.

The tour, and her remarks, come almost four years after Warner Media launched an investigation into her talk show for an allegedly toxic work environment.

The investigation was sparked by a 2020 Buzzfeed exposé in which one employee and 10 former staffers of DeGeneres’ show said they faced “racism, fear and intimidation” behind the scenes.

DeGeneres was not specifically called out in the article, but the incidents were at odds with the show’s feel-good atmosphere.
