It hurts that she's leaving but her saying she's so happy makes me happy. I genuinely like her as a person and as Meredith so I'll watch her in any project. Between her and Mariska I learned a lot growing up about strong women.

[@leahs.6780]

Facts!! Well stated! Thank you!

She's loaded. She doesn't need the money.

And, ain’t went nowhere lol

[@teddyruxbin9300]

Drew is the best thing to happen to daytime television since Oprah!

[@cece8095]

Drew is literally just full of love, positive joy and fairy dust, and emotional vulnerability and kindness. I am becoming a big fan of her! :)

[@aprilbrowncantstoppraising]

Nope

[@connieerickson3511]

I love Drew and her big heart ❤️ She is such a character and always true to herself 🙂 Enjoy watching her show everyday

[@aprilbrowncantstoppraising]

@@connieerickson3511 She's trying too hard to fit in the political culture and I'm no longer a fan. Sorry

[@rhodamackenzie8120]

That's NOT a compliment.

[@hcpsdaviesrp]

Ellen Pompeo is the biggest badass in the game, in addition to being a great actress. She’s one hell of a businesswoman

[@shelly0801]

Im so so sad she’s leaving the show. I’ve been watching since day 1. The show has helped me through all my hospital stays and I love Meredith grey. She’s the reason why im still watching 🥺.

[@user-rz8bu6vl8x]

Oh no!

[@snoopygonewilder]

It's incredible that I've been watching Grey's since I was 20 years old, and now I'm almost 40 and Ellen Pompeo still looks amazing. From everything, I hear about her, and just seeing her interviews, and how other people speak about her, she's like the nicest person ever.

[@MsJennaBuchanan]

It’s sooo funny you say that. I literally was thinking as I watched this interview that I literally remember where I was living when I first started watching the show and how I loved being my 20s and being flirty and fun…. And now I’m 40. And like sucks and is boring and I miss those days!!

[@allinotte4263]

Just what I needed to hear today. Don’t expect the people around you to stand up and support you.

[@gleander4405]

I love Drew-B’s earnestness and how present she is with her guests!

[@amfanelli]

I was upset she was leaving until I heard her say how happy she was I absolutely get it and I’m excited for the next Hulu show tbh lol

[@tamzin00]

Her laugh makes me smile so hard. Love her

[@dmd2803]

Ellen can be so cheeky and straight talking, much like Meredith Grey is haha

[@jackiecote203]

I remember hanging out at my aunt's house with Ellen there around the holidays. We grew up in the same neighborhood . Many years have passed but she still looks the same. Happy that she is happy.

[@joannmannn7006]

Omg she walked out they hugged and Ellen said “hi baby” omg I died she so cute

[@theaniacz]

I’m very sad not to see her throughout the year on my tv because I have lived more than half my life with this show and her (I’m 31 and started watching when season 2 was airing in America) but I’m also very very happy for her. The amount of joy and beautiful cries I owe to this woman is beyond me. Thank you for all those years and can’t wait to see what she does next. Thank you Ellen ❤have fun on your college adventure!

[@carrie14u2nv]

Daaang if I didn't know any better I'd say Drew has a crush on her big time. When she blurted out God you're hot in the middle of Ellen telling her story was a dead give away 🤦‍♀️🤣

[@madgemackles4337]

Drew has a crush on all her guests

[@Sbannmarie]

Well she’s bi right?

[@nwr7932]

Maybe drew is gay now and is ready to come out

[@pandabear1341]

@@Sbannmarie it’s not that kind of crush

[@natalieeubank4533]

Not everyone is a lesbian, you can appreciate someone’s looks and not be attracted to them

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Oh gods, I'm re-binging Grey's Anatomy and I'm going back through the laughs and the tears. The show made a lot of changes to how tv influenced us, and how women were viewed as human beings. I haven't seen this season yet, and so I won't until I'm done with my binge. Reliving some of this before I lost my house and my cable is so cool. Using my rainbow of bandanas to not cry my way through a forest of tissues.

[@melanieperumal9968]

Love these 2 ladies... So sad Ellen is leaving Greys... I dont think the show will last that long now. Even sadder to hear that the cast didnt cheer, support her after her big break through.

[@liamh5058]

I could honestly listen to Ellen speak all day

[@sandrabraman9442]

OMG... So sad to hear that Ellen is leaving Greys Anatomy... I have been watching this show from the very beginning with my Mom & it turned out to be one of my favorites!! It won’t be the same without your character, Meredith ! I wish you much success on your next journeys & look forward to seeing you in your new shows. 😊

[@denarendall]

2 phenomenal and very admirable women❤️

[@marisagabrielle8]

So random, but it’s so cool that drew has soft seating in her studio! It makes it feel so much more friendly and casual

[@franceskajacobs2766]

We love u and love grays, Derrick and Meredith where soo in love the true honest power couple be happy Ellen we r happy 4 u God bless u and your family❤

Best duo!!! Love how Drew is just relatable!

[@meeritic7565]

She’s just perfect ❤️❤️❤️ I love her she’s the real sun

[@andrevieiradeolivieiraluiz2887]

I love you, Ellen Pompeo !!!

[@Brizzi414]

I have been in denial that she left the show for good. I know she’s been ready to leave and held on for us fans for way longer than she planned. This was my confirmation.😢 I’m so sad but happy to see her walk into the next journey of her life. I’m 42 & my youngest is almost 18….so I get what she’s saying. They grow up & so do you. Enjoy what’s next E!! Truly your biggest fan!! 💜✨💯🔥😍

[@simonenin71]

Time passed so quickly. When Grey’s Anatomy started I was living in the States, both of my parents were alive. Watching this kind of made me sad :(((

[@mez519na8]

Not watching Greys without Ellen. Love Ellen

[@blablaespanol]

Lovely interview!

[@jalecortez366]

This is just 🥺👑👑 PERFECT DUO !!!!

[@susanbeecher9831]

I absolutely LOVE grey's anatomy!! I'm on my second round now and it's awesome!! As I watch the show I can SEE myself acting with ALL of the people I ❤️❤️❤️ I am so sad just to know that Meridith Grey is not going to be on there!! And HUNNY just know that I would have been right there with you on SET that DAY!! 💜💜

[@teawithmissyp]

I just love Ellen Pompeo. She is an amazing and strong woman!

[@Rosa-in8nj]

She’s more like Meredith grey then she thinks LOL

She’s 53 I’m about to be 39 she looks my age.and I look younger. Can’t wait to see her series

Both amazing women ❤️ well done Ellen 👏

[@paulinadisilva1119]

Your show is amazing ❤❤❤

[@Lori.D.]

Not if you're Italian you're not. You get to keep your kids until they're about 30 and then perhaps you start to somewhat accustom with the idea that maybe they're sort of adults.

She’s a fun interview, it’s rare to see someone on American daytime tv engage in an interview as if she is talking with a girlfriend.

[@mareezy]

Drew is awesome! Love her

[@lexibilton]

i just love her

[@tash6779]

How is Ellen 53 - she looks amazing!

[@emmavonryan9643]

Well she should have been the highest paid actor on that show in the 1st place I mean she was the title character that’s crazy she wasn’t to start with 😱

[@lena___]

do you know who was?

[@musicloverbaby11]

Where can I watch the full episode?

[@malakm7778]

Whenever she’s around I feel like I’m in the doctors office and she’s prescribing me meds 💀

[@maricrisgregorio1077]

Full video please

[@LADYROCK]

I love her so much, to me she always be Meredith Grey. I love that show with all my heart I love the same way all the battles and struggles that Ellen put trough in this tough industritry rule by men. She knows her value and asserts herself. Such a Tv icon. Love her. I'm gonna miss her on Grey's but I gonna still supported in their new projects. She deserve it.

[@eloise-jx7mo]

I love her 💛

its too bad that we don't have the show here in Brasil! I got to watch over youtube! :(

[@delorescannon455]

Luv Drew going miss Ellen Pompeos though been watching Grey's anatomy for years

[@robertscott4431]

Greys Anatomy isn't the longest running drama. In the UK the tv drama series Casulty has been running since 1986. Greys only running from 2006. Think General hospital is longest running medical US soap since 60s.

[@RidwanChachunya]

Wow thank you for this trivia 👍👍

[@xxxtentacionfan1585]

She even walks like Meredith :p

[@SUNFLOWER-vt8gi]

But like she said she was fine she didn't risk anything on herself. That's bad advice unless you can afford to lose whatever your fighting for fine do it but if you can't save it for when you can!!!! That's why Ellen made sure to mention that. But it's amazing if she did implement some changes for woman in anything really.

[@bernadethjoybautista1066]

I Love You Drew!!!

Good for you!! 🙂

Queens.

[@pinkpeachz]

The interview highlights her voice for women asking for what they want - pay, respect, job titles etc. Yet the video title is about how she met her husband??

[@natalieeubank4533]

Because she did

[@uinisefaustinafoochong7743]

I met her before she got role on greys anatomy

[@SuperMar10GalaxyBro]

You never know where you will find love ❤️ How do you find these inspiring stories? Thank you so much….☺️ Can I join you for the watermelon challenge? 🍉 I’ve never done that either and I love it!!!! We could do a virtual challenge 😅 “You’re hot” 🤣 Thank you for the laughs and inspiration. Every time. 🙌

Better than the Ellen Show :)

[@brendakagyekum92]

So Meredith is even cooler in real life! 😍💫

Deveria ter legenda kkk sou brasileira

[@rebzzmoraeslife]

deveria passar o show aqui...é ótimo o programa dela, acompanho tudo por aqui mesmo!

[@munab3666]

Ok seriously now I want to know which colleagues she's referring to 👀

[@carrie14u2nv]

Probably Patrick Dempsey or was he on the show when all that went down? I know she was demanding equal pay of what he was making.

[@brenainnmacthomais]

@@carrie14u2nv yeah I agree! I remember reading where he was extremely quiet and refused to walk in with her when she wanted support.

[@bugs1729]

I really am a fan of the early and mid years of Grey's, but since covid I've lost interest. I am glad that she is still going to be working.

[@carasmussen27]

I love you Ellen!! Thank you for all you do for women. It's very important for our children to see MORE strong women.

[@erichottel7783]

It's too bad she's not out in LA under the palm trees!

[@matheus14.11]

Why is the image so hot in this show? Is it something related to the channel or just the show itself?

[@ray83baby]

Her purple red bottom shoes. OMG

[@Delbays1]

😂oh my god bless america

[@amandaallen9460]

I feel like Grey's should end with this season since Ellen has taken a step back..

[@erichottel7783]

She's also one who grew up pretty quickly, to say the least. ET!

[@lynnramadan9855]

Instead of the caption saying the thing she talked like 30 seconds about how about h describe what she really talked about .. women empowerment and such….

[@100antobiagio]

👏🇮🇹

[@tashaclaire7258]

Ellen Pompeo is so demure

[@tlopez8]

She could’ve done the 20 years and called the entire show quits

[@ezekiel5687]

Ellen has always been a hot woman.

I am André Gauthier son of the Ôly Father the second in command.

[@clementine9187]

So they met through a mutual friend, while at the grocery store. They didn't bump into each other as strangers. Clickbait

[@000001willy]

I'm not a fan of Drew's talk show. Sorry. But in all fairness she was very complimentary of Ellen Pompeo for standing up for women in her industry and all industries.

[@madgemackles4337]

Wow, I thought she was at least 46

[@Lubbylove89]

But, why wouldn't the show end then? I always thought that GREY'S Anatomy would end if Ellen left. I guess I don't get it.

[@shwetttta]

Can anyone fill me in? What did Ellen do for women?

[@mopedmike8317]

I love drew show but why can’t the audiences have to wear masks buts it ok for the hosts and guess to not wear mask and they can hugs it doesn’t make sense and great for equal pay but what other work places for people like Ellen says putting up with other people bad behavior but yet the people bad behavior is still be working at the same job

[@skybloom1381]

To me it sounds like the show is going to end and she is jumping ship before it hits the iceberg...
