Another Hollywood Liberal Flees Trump’s America

Ellen DeGeneres has made good on what many Hollywood celebrities only threaten to do when conservatives win elections. The former talk show host has officially cut all ties with the United States, selling her final American property after relocating to the United Kingdom with her wife Portia de Rossi.

Their departure came on the heels of President Donald Trump’s decisive election victory, joining a small group of celebrities who actually followed through on threats to leave America. DeGeneres and de Rossi purchased an $18 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds, a picturesque region of England known for its rolling hills and quaint villages. They join long-time Trump critic Rosie O’Donnell, who recently moved to Ireland, saying she would not live in a Trump-led America.

DeGeneres sold her Montecito, California home for $5.2 million, slightly above the asking price of $4,995,000 The Spanish bungalow, spanning 1,691 square feet, featured luxurious spa-like bathrooms and a private courtyard.

High Demand for Celebrity Property

A representative for the listing confirmed the property received “multiple offers within two days of hitting the market.”

DeGeneres and de Rossi have joined an exclusive community in the Cotswolds, where their neighbors include power couple David and Victoria Beckham, supermodel Kate Moss, and actress Elizabeth Hurley. The area has become increasingly popular among the wealthy elite seeking privacy and the charm of British country living.

Their transition hasn’t been entirely smooth, however, as reports emerge of friction between the couple and local residents over proposed extensions to their new property. British neighbors are concerned about the Hollywood couple’s renovation plans, leading to a less-than-warm welcome for the Americans.

Milestone Celebration Abroad

Despite leaving behind their American lifestyle, DeGeneres and de Rossi recently celebrated a personal milestone. The couple marked 20 years together, with DeGeneres posting a tribute on social media acknowledging their long relationship.

The UK move is a significant shift for DeGeneres, who had been a fixture in American entertainment for decades before her talk show ended amid controversy over workplace conditions. While many celebrities threaten to leave America when elections don’t go their way, DeGeneres and de Rossi have actually followed through, making a clean break with their former Hollywood lifestyle.

Their departure raises questions about whether other liberal celebrities who promised to leave America following Trump’s victory will follow suit or remain in the country they threatened to abandon.
