Breaking the news to fans via Twitter on Thursday (December 10, 2020), she wrote, “Hello everyone. I want to let you all know I tested positive for Covid-19.
“Fortunately, I’m feeling fine right now. Anyone who has been in close contact with me has been notified, and I am following all proper guidelines. I’ll see you all again after the holidays. Please stay healthy and safe. Love, Ellen.”
The news comes after a rough few months for Ellen, who is attempting to bounce back from a potentially career-destroying summer expose about “toxic” working conditions on her talk show.
