Ellen DeGeneres discussing her relocation post-Trump's election, stating improvement in her life. - Ellen DeGeneres Expressing Optimism After Trump's Election Win: "Things Improving"
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have made a permanent move to England, citing the political climate in the United States following the re-election of President Donald Trump as a significant factor in their decision.
Initially, the couple had purchased a home in England with the intention of spending only three to four months a year there. However, the morning after Trump's election, they received numerous messages from friends expressing distress, which prompted them to decide to stay in the U.K. full-time as a refuge from the political climate at home [1][2].
Ellen has described the move as a life-changing decision influenced by both the political situation and her own experience of intense scrutiny during controversies surrounding her former talk show. In England's Cotswolds, they found what Ellen called a "simpler way of life," praising the beauty, cleanliness, charm, and polite people, as well as the better treatment of animals. This peaceful environment contrasted sharply with their experience in the U.S. and became their new happy place [1][2].
Ellen's new property is located in Sunday Cheltenham, London, England, and includes a menagerie of animals, such as chickens, that she often shares videos of on her social media platforms. Ellen, who hosted her own daily NBC talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," for nearly 20 years, from 2003, has spoken about people in America being afraid "to be who they are," and her move to England may be seen as a step towards creating a more comfortable and accepting environment for herself [3].
Meanwhile, comedian Rosie O'Donnell has also moved to Ireland after Trump's second election win, further demonstrating the impact of the political climate on celebrities and public figures.
The Commission may consider proposing a directive that protects workers from the risks related to ionizing radiation, as the lifestyle and environment in England seem to provide a safer and more accepting atmosphere for celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, who have relocated following the political climate in their home country. In their home-and-garden in the Cotswolds, they can enjoy a simpler way of life away from the controversies and intense scrutiny in the entertainment industry.
