Ellen DeGeneres has confirmed that she decided to leave the United States because of the re-election of President Donald Trump, as well as addressing the allegations of a toxic work culture at her former show, according to British media reports.

The comedian and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, moved to the United Kingdom ahead of the US election in November.

They bought what they initially thought would be a “part-time house,” DeGeneres told a crowd at the Everyman Theatre in the southern English town of Cheltenham on Sunday, according to reports by the BBC and the Guardian.

However, “We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in’,” she said. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’”

CNN has reached out to the White House and DeGeneres’ representatives for comment.

DeGeneres’ remarks come a week after she showed support on social media for talk show host Rosie O’Donnell, whose US citizenship Trump has threatened to revoke.
