Ellen opened up about the challenges of caring for her mother, who suffers from dementia and no longer recognizes her. This has impacted her sense of identity without her show, as she shared with the audience. Despite this, she continues to have the support of some celebrities while others have distanced themselves. Ellen’s candid revelations show a vulnerable side to the comedian and TV host that fans may not have seen before.
Furthermore, Ellen drew a comparison between the recent cancelation of her talk show and the cancelation of her sitcom Ellen in 1998 when she came out as gay. She humorously remarked that she has been kicked out of show business twice now and joked that she will likely be kicked out a third time because of her age and sexual orientation.
Ellen’s personal struggles have taken a toll on her but she continues to face them head-on with determination. Her resilience in the face of adversity is something that fans can learn from.
