The collapse of the career of Ellen Degeneres occurred in 2020 after allegations from staff and producers were revealed that she had allowed an adverse work environment to form on her show, CNN reported.
These accusations culminated with the end of the program in May 2022, after which DeGeneres chose to retire from public life. In her monologue, the host admitted that she had become the most unpopular person in America, as the public realized that she was not living up to the message of kindness that she promoted.
“It has taken a toll on my ego and my self-esteem. There are so many extremes in this business, that people either love you and idolize you or hate you, and the latter are somehow the loudest,” he admitted.
Ellen also explained experiencing depression that directly impacted their marriage with actress Portia Di Rossi, who saw how everything they had fought for for years gradually faded without being able to do anything to help her, according to CNN.
