Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have ditched Hollywood glitz for the English countryside, but not everyone’s convinced by their explanation. The comedy queen and her partner have reportedly settled in the Cotswolds, leaving behind their Montecito mansion. While Ellen hinted Trump’s re-election drove them to seek refuge across the pond, fans can’t help but ask:
"why the UK?"
The United Kingdom isn’t exactly a feminist utopia. Since King Charles III’s ascension in 2022, the monarchy — and the country — have faced criticism for continuing male-dominated traditions.
"Why not Sweden or New Zealand, known for progressive policies?"
one fan posted online. Another asked if Ellen traded U.S. patriarchy for Britain’s upper-crust version.
Adding fuel to the fire, some speculate the move is more about escaping her controversial past than political protests. The end of "The Ellen Show" amid workplace toxicity allegations still lingers, and critics are quick to link the relocation to her fading public image.
Regardless, the couple seems content with their countryside retreat, trading Hollywood’s lights for gardens and chickens. But the mystery remains: is this a retreat, a reinvention, or something more?
