What Portia Thinks Ellen Should Do Next

Ellen sat down with her wife Portia de Rossi and she shared what she thinks Ellen should do after the show comes to an end. Portia also recalled her experience watching the very first episode of "The Ellen Show" by herself, gave an update on Ellen's campus in Rwanda, and talked about how her grandmother was a huge fan of Ellen and her sitcom - until the episode where she came out as gay.

[@tenwaystowearit]

Many years ago I met Ellen and Portia at the Beverly Hills farmers market. They were both SO SO SWEET to everybody. So I hold them in good regard from my own personal experience.

[@slimlouis6441]

Wow, not anything at all like my experiences. And Sabrina is right, I’ve been her with and without a crowd.

[@sharonglee8159]

My same exact experience when meeting Ellen never met Portia but thanks for sharing cus she was really sweet to myself and and my mom when we met her at a restaurant I’m mad I can’t remember the name but she was very kind and we walked up to her nerves and she was sweet to us both I’ll never forget it

[@mr.bigred6908]

Ellen is very rude. I’ve seen her many times in the neighborhood. She’s incredibly unlikeable and everyone can’t stand her.

[@bingonamo7520]

She was probably on her best behaviour as Portia was with her.
