COTSWOLDS, England — She fled the storm brewing on the horizon in the United States with President Donald Trump, but she couldn’t escape the storms and flooding in her new country at her new home.
Ellen DeGeneres’ multimillion-dollar UK estate has been heavily damaged by flooding just weeks after the comedian and talk show host relocated to Great Britain, citing her decision to leave the United States following former President Donald Trump’s re-election.
Her new home has been flooded, according to local officials.
According to the Daily Mail, the 43-acre property in the Cotswolds has been “swamped” by rising floodwaters, with locals reporting as much as five feet of water covering the area. “The floodwaters are rising by the hour. This is the worst I have seen it in years,” said a local resident.
The luxury home, a six-bedroom, four-bathroom farmhouse that DeGeneres converted into a modern residence, sits in a region that has recently experienced significant rainfall and severe weather, exacerbating flooding risks.
The incident follows DeGeneres’ recent move to Great Britain, where she stated she is “never coming back” to the United States after Trump’s victory, as reported by The Wrap. The host’s relocation was widely covered in media circles, with many noting her frustrations with American politics.
As the flooding worsens, DeGeneres has not yet commented publicly on the damage to her property. Local authorities and emergency crews are monitoring the situation closely.
The flood has brought an unexpected challenge to DeGeneres’ new life abroad.
