Ellen DeGeneres was super-popular with her daytime show, but after 19 seasons it ended in toxic fallout, and she’s not apologizing for it in the trailer for her Netflix special titled For Your Approval. In fact, she pretty much told cancel culture to “go f–k yourselves.”
Ellen DeGeneres Was Investigated After Allegations
The Ellen Show brought love, humor, and kind gestures for years before it was investigated by Warner Bros after allegations of a toxic working environment.
The show ended and Hollywood shunned her. So, she hunkered down in Montecito for a while with her beloved Portia.
Seemingly forgotten was the fact that she came out years before it was trendy. And shoved to one side, was her dedication to the conservation of Africa’s Gorillas with the establishment of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
Well, she landed her Netflix Special as her swansong and she used the trailer to tell her critics and cancel culture to “go f–k themselves.”

Oh yeah…I got kicked out of show business. Yeah, the ‘be kind girl wasn’t kind.” That was the headline…Had I ended my show by saying ‘Go f–k yourselves,” People would havebeen pleasantly surprised to find out I was kind.
