At the time, Ellen sent out an internal memo vowing to make improvements, and also apologized during her season 18 premiere opening monologue, saying, “I take that very seriously, and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected.”
And despite the upcoming Netflix special, Ellen—who has been married to Portia de Rossi since 2008—recently revealed that she is ready to leave Hollywood for good after it premieres.
During a stand-up set in Santa Rosa, Calif., on July 1, one fan asked if they could look forward to seeing Ellen on Broadway or the big screen in the near future.
“Um, no,” Ellen replied, according to SFGATE. “This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”
But she was grateful to her fans that had come out to watch her perform, telling the crowd, “Thank you for still caring!”
