💥 Ellen DeGeneres & Whoopi Goldberg Leave America For Good — “England Feels Like the Home America Used to Be”
In a move that has both Hollywood insiders and political pundits buzzing, Ellen DeGeneres and Whoopi Goldberg have officially announced they are leaving the United States and relocating to England — citing the reelection of Donald Trump as the final straw.
The news broke via a joint Instagram video posted just hours after Trump’s projected victory was confirmed. The clip showed the two legendary entertainers seated at a quaint tea shop in London, casually sipping Earl Grey and nibbling on scones.
😢 “We Tried Everything”
Ellen, with visible emotion, addressed her 130 million followers:
“This isn’t the America we fought for, laughed for, or cried for. We’ve used our voices. We’ve marched. We’ve donated. But sometimes… it’s just not enough.”
Whoopi, speaking directly to the camera from Heathrow Airport prior to the video, added with a wry smile:
“I’ve spent the last two decades trying to wake people up. Now? I just want to sleep — and I’m not going to find peace in America anymore.”
🇬🇧 Why England?
While many celebrities have threatened to leave the U.S. over politics, few have actually followed through. Ellen and Whoopi appear to be making good on their promise — with UK residency applications already filed, according to anonymous sources close to the duo.
“England feels like the home America used to be,” Ellen said. “Polite, stable, and at least they still drink tea when things go wrong.”
The pair have reportedly leased a countryside estate in the Cotswolds, complete with sheep, a rose garden, and a private tennis court. Local reports suggest the two have already begun calling their new home “Little California.”
📰 Hollywood Reacts
Reactions across Hollywood have been mixed.
Rosie O’Donnell tweeted: “Wish I had the courage. Maybe I’ll be next. 🇬🇧”
Joy Behar said on The View: “They said it. They meant it. And they did it. Respect.”
Bill Maher, meanwhile, joked: “England? They realize Boris Johnson’s like Trump with a posh accent, right?”
Even conservative pundits weighed in:
“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out,” tweeted Ben Shapiro, racking up over 150,000 likes in under an hour.
✈️ What’s Next for Ellen & Whoopi?
Though both women claim their decision is personal, insiders say they’re already in talks with BBC One and ITV about potential new television projects — including a satirical talk show titled “Across the Pond: With Ellen & Whoopi”.
“We’re not retiring,” Whoopi clarified. “We’re just… relocating the resistance.”
There are also rumors they’re working on a memoir-style documentary chronicling their final year in the U.S., tentatively titled: “Last Laugh in America.”
🔥 Why This Move Matters
This dramatic exit underscores the deepening divide in American pop culture. While millions cheered Trump’s return, others — particularly in Hollywood — felt disillusioned, disempowered, and defeated.
For Ellen and Whoopi, the choice to leave wasn’t about giving up.
It was about “finding peace in a world that still makes sense.”
💬 Final Thoughts: Is This Just The Beginning?
With other high-profile figures expressing frustration with the current political climate, many wonder:
Will more celebrities follow Ellen and Whoopi’s lead?
Whether this is a symbolic protest or the start of a Hollywood exodus, one thing’s for sure — Ellen and Whoopi have made their final curtain call in America, and they’re doing it in the most stylish, unapologetic way possible:
