Part 3/8:
The speaker recounts a personal journey of admiration for Ellen, sharing how they once idolized her as a teenager and followed her show religiously. The echoes of disappointment as the speaker reflects on Ellen's actions reveal a broader phenomenon within Hollywood, where deep-seated disillusionment with erstwhile idols is common. Ellen’s departure has reignited memories of her previous vows to leave the country during Trump’s previous elections, making this moment particularly poignant for those who once looked up to her.
