Is This How Ellen DeGeneres Feels About the Rumors About Her?

Ellen DeGeneres has been the subject of rumors about her behavior over the past few weeks. Notably, in recent weeks, a former bodyguard of hers spoke out about his negative experience working with her, and this celebrity on her show recalled a negative experience as well.

Now, a source is speaking out to Us Weekly, saying, “Ellen is at the end of her rope. She thought this was all just sour grapes from a few haters. But it’s not a passing thing — the hits just keep coming.”

A second source added, “Ellen’s been in our homes for so long, it’ll take a lot more than a bodyguard and a blogger to change how people feel about her. Her best response is just being happy Ellen on the show every day.”

“Ellen’s so grateful to have Portia in her life as a soulmate and a sounding board, but that doesn’t mean it’s been easy,” the second source said. “Their home life is strained right now. … Her real friends never ask her to be funny or tell jokes. They accept her as is.”

Ellen DeGeneres has not spoken publicly about any of this.
