Ellen DeGeneres Says She’s Finished With Her COVID Quarantine And Was Spotted With Her Mask Down At The Store

December 22, 2020 / Posted by:

Pretend for a moment you’re Ellen DeGeneres. You’ve had a β€” HEY! Stop counting all your shiny new Scrooge McDuck coins, and focus up! Thank you. You’re Ellen, and you’ve had a shit 2020. Vilified by the press for creating a toxic workplace, your show’s ratings are tanking, and your “Queen of Nice” rep is in the shitter. When you test positive for COVID-19, the public reaction is less “Oh no, not Tom Hanks!” and more “Ha! Giuliani got it!” Now, nine days after announcing your positive status, you’re feeling much better. Do you: a) continue to stay at home and quarantine to set a good example and avoid any more bad press? ORΒ b) go out shopping and pull your mask down in the parking lot to talk on your cell phone in front of the paps? If you answered b), you’ve successfully entered the mind of the real Ellen!

This past Saturday 62-year-old Ellen was spotted shopping for home goods from Garde in Montecito. She was wearing a mask and seen yacking with another masked woman. Then, at one point, Ellen pulls her mask completely down to talk on her phone in the parking lot. An action that does not require a bare face. Sigh. She couldn’t have waited till she got in the car? When she wasn’t getting papped?

As she brings her mysterious “home goods” back to her vehicle, Ellen is approached by the paparazzi and is asked how she’s feeling. She replies, “Feel great!”, and says, “It’s different for everybody, and I got very very lucky, so I’m very very blessed and very grateful that I was able to get past it.”

A rep for Ellen told The Daily Mail that she finished her quarantine and is being tested regularly. Five days ago she posted a video to Instagram giving her remaining fans a health update. She says she’s feeling 100%, but suffered “excruciating back pain”, which is apparently a symptom of COVID. Then she plays a little game of Connect Four with wife/camera person Portia de Rossi:

One day I was out walking (masked) and ran into an acquaintance (also masked) whom I knew tested positive for COVID. Her diagnosis was months before, but I was so scared I stayed a full ten feet away from this poor woman. And if I saw Ellen out on the town, mask pulled down, you bet your ass I’d run screaming in the other direction. I don’t have Finding Dory money to pay for all those top Trump doctors!
