Talk show host, Ellen Degeneres has given us an update on her health…
Because, as you will all know, it was announced last year that she had contracted coronavirus.
And, as she returns to TV, she has detailed her horrific symptoms.
Now, this is just adding to an already difficult year for the star…
The infamous host of The Ellen Show has been batting off accusation after accusation all year long.
One small allegation can have things falling apart very quickly.
What started as a trickle of bad press very quickly became a flood.
With BTS secrets of diva behavior, poor treatment of staff, even more serious allegations have come to the surface.
And for the last few months, she’s been paying the consequences.
Ellen’s ratings have been plummeting as the world decides they can no longer back the star.
Well, many fans are looking back over the series and asking the very same questions.
Ellen has always been problematic!
Which has been pretty horrific over the years.
But following all of this negative attention, Ellen was then hit with some bad news concerning her health…
A COVID-19 diagnosis.
And now, Ellen has offered a health update.
She opened up to fans in her first show back.
“I want to start the show by talking about something positive – my COVID test.”
“I was getting ready to tape the show and I was in hair and makeup. Then my assistant Craig walks in and says, ‘You tested positive for COVID.’ And then everyone around me ran away.”
“I left the studio immediately and our COVID safety team informed everyone that I had been in contact with.”
“The first 3 days, I slept for sixteen hours a day.”
“And then on the fourth day, I woke up with back spasms.”
“It just persisted and the doctor put me on pain pills and muscle relaxers.”
“That’s the only symptom I had.”
“I didn’t have a headache, I didn’t have a fever, I didn’t lose my sense of taste. I started to feel better and I am very fortunate and very, very blessed.”
“I wear a mask, I wash my hands. It’s a mystery to me how that would happen.”
“That was it for me.”
We’re glad to hear you’re on the mend, Ellen!
