Rosie O’Donnell Subtly Shades Ellen DeGeneres For Ditching The U.S. Over Political Reasons
HuffPost
“We’re not really in each other’s worlds,” O’Donnell admitted of the long-standing distance between the two comedians.
Rosie O’Donnell left the United States shortly after President Donald Trump was elected for a second term, but says she didn’t expect Ellen DeGeneres to similarly cite politics as her motivation to move abroad.
Speaking to US Weekly in an interview published Wednesday, O’Donnell said moving to Ireland “was something I needed to do for the safety and sanity of myself and my non-binary child.” Regarding DeGeneres, however, she admitted she was “shocked” to learn of the comedian and former talk show host’s decision to relocate to England with her wife, Portia de Rossi.
“I’ve never really known Ellen to say anything political in her life, so I was surprised to read that she left because of President Trump. Like, that shocked me, actually,” she explained. “I’ve been a political person my whole life, not better or worse, it’s just a different way to be in the world. I was very clear about the reason why I was leaving, and I don’t think it came as a surprise to anyone.”
She added, “We’re not really in each other’s worlds, and it’s been kind of awkward but you know what? I wish her the best. I wish that she has peace and love in her life and that she is OK.”
DeGeneres and de Rossi reportedly put their Montecito, California, home up for sale in late November, just weeks after Trump swept to victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris. Since then, the couple settled in the Cotswolds, a rural region in England about 100 miles west of London.
