Ellen DeGeneres Sued for T-Bone Collision

Ellen DeGeneres is in hot water as a lawsuit emerges, accusing the former talk show queen of negligence during a car accident nearly two years ago in Santa Barbara County, California.

The plaintiff claims that DeGeneres, 67, ignored a stop sign, entering an intersection without stopping and subsequently colliding with her vehicle in what is described as a 'T-bone' crash.

Details of the Incident

According to court documents obtained by *People*, the crash took place on October 16, 2023, at an intersection controlled by stop signs in all directions. The woman asserts that she stopped at her stop sign and checked for oncoming traffic before proceeding, only to be unexpectedly hit by DeGeneres’ car.

Allegations of Negligence

The lawsuit charges the comedian with 'negligent conduct' that fell short of what a reasonable person would exhibit in similar circumstances. The plaintiff claims this negligence led to her vehicle being struck, resulting in significant injuries.

Claim for Damages

As a result of the crash, the woman reports suffering from 'multiple serious personal injuries,' loss of wages, medical expenses, and emotional distress. She is seeking unspecified compensatory damages for her suffering.

Ellen's Silence Amid Legal Troubles

Thus far, DeGeneres has not made any public statements regarding the allegations and was recently spotted enjoying a vacation in Italy with her wife, Portia de Rossi.

A Major Life Change: Moving to the UK

This lawsuit follows DeGeneres’ recent admission that her decision to relocate to the United Kingdom was, in part, a reaction to former President Donald Trump. In her first public appearance since her move, she acknowledged the turmoil back in the U.S. influenced her family's choice.

Embracing Life in England

DeGeneres has expressed joy in her new surroundings in the picturesque Cotswolds, contrasting it with life in California. She described her new home as 'absolutely beautiful,' praising the charm and cleanliness of the area.

The couple made the move last November after selling their Montecito home, and from the sounds of it, they’re reveling in this fresh chapter of their lives.
