As reported by Gate of Saint FrancisA fan asked DeGeneres if we’d see her “on Broadway or in movies” during a Q&A with the audience at her show in Santa Rosa last week. “This is the last time you’ll see me,” she replied bluntly. “After my Netflix special, I’m done.”

Another fan apparently “begged” DeGeneres to reprise her role as Dory in the Finding Nemo series, but she stood firm saying: “No, I'm leaving, goodbye, remember.”
Throughout the “Ellen's Last Stand… Up” tour, DeGeneres has been addressing allegations of a “toxic work environment” on the set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show which were exposed in a 2020 Buzzfeed report. In April, she broke her silence on the controversy, saying she “hated the way the show ended.”
However, DeGeneres has admitted to being too much of a boss on her recent shows. “I can be demanding, impatient and tough. I am a strong woman,” she said in Santa Rosa, insisting that she is “not bad” because she never intended to hurt people.
The “Ellen's Last Stand… Up” tour continues until August 17. If you want to see her one last time, Buy your tickets hereHer Netflix special is scheduled to premiere later this year.
