Surprising details about Diddy and Ellen DeGeneres' connection.
00:03
Ellen, were you surprised by the allegations about P. Diddy?
00:07
Did that surprise you about P. Diddy?
00:09
Tell me about your birthday party. Am I invited?
00:11
Yes.
00:12
Ellen DeGeneres may be best known for dancing across the stage,
00:15
hosting celebrities, and promoting kindness.
00:23
But in recent months, her name has surfaced in an entirely different context,
00:27
and it involves none other than Sean Diddy Combs.
00:30
We knew it was only a matter of time until Ellen DeGeneres was dragged into this whole Diddy situation.
00:35
Happy birthday, dear Ellen. Happy birthday to you.
00:40
To be clear, Ellen hasn't faced any serious criminal allegations like Diddy,
00:43
but she does have a reputation of being the meanest woman in Hollywood.
00:47
The connection between the disgraced rapper and the former talk show host is now fueling a swirl of speculation online,
00:54
with some even tying Ellen's recent relocation to the United Kingdom to Diddy's ongoing legal troubles.
01:00
Ellen DeGeneres, who stepped away from her long-running daytime talk show amid controversy over a toxic work environment,
01:07
has been attempting to live a quieter life alongside her wife, Portia de Rossi.
01:12
Ellen and wife Portia de Rossi moved across the pond after President Trump's re-election last year.
01:17
Their move overseas initially seemed like a reaction to some political concerns,
01:21
but now that move is being looked at through a new and far more suspicious lens.
01:27
A post on X, formerly known as Twitter, reignited public interest in Ellen's ties to Diddy.
01:33
The post included a resurfaced screenshot of a birthday tweet Ellen wrote to Diddy in 2016,
01:38
in which she said,
01:48
What was once seen as a cheeky joke referencing Diddy's many name changes is now being dissected for deeper,
01:54
and possibly darker, implications.
01:57
Elon Musk himself reposted the tweet with nothing but a single emoji, a raised eyebrow.
02:03
That one emoji was enough to send speculation spiraling.
02:06
In the replies, users began linking Ellen's exit from Hollywood and her move abroad
02:11
to a potential desire to avoid any fallout from Diddy's criminal investigations.
02:16
One comment read,
02:17
Ellen literally fled the country before the release of the client list that we all want to see,
02:22
suggesting that Ellen's exit was more about self-preservation than politics.
02:26
The rumors were further intensified by Ellen's previous guest lineup on the Ellen DeGeneres show.
02:31
Diddy had appeared on the show multiple times,
02:34
and while that wasn't out of place for a music mogul of his stature at the time,
02:37
some now view his presence on the show,
02:40
alongside controversial figures like Donald Trump and Kanye West,
02:43
as part of a troubling pattern.
02:45
With Diddy now facing serious allegations,
02:47
any connection to him is enough to raise concerns,
02:50
especially given the recent wave of public scrutiny surrounding the people in his inner circle.
02:54
Despite the resurfacing of these connections,
02:57
there is no evidence that Ellen is involved in or connected to any of the legal allegations against Diddy.
03:03
Still, the timing of her departure, the online reposting of her tweet,
03:08
and her association with now disgraced celebrities have made her an easy target for internet speculation.
03:14
And the Ellen-Diddy conspiracy didn't form in a vacuum.
03:17
Elon Musk himself reportedly referred to Diddy as a friend.
03:21
According to a claim cited in a book titled Character Limit,
03:24
Musk said that Diddy was not only someone he texted regularly,
03:27
but also an investor in his purchase of the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
03:32
That comment opened the door for critics to question whether powerful figures in entertainment,
03:37
media, and tech are more closely intertwined than the public may realize.
03:42
In this swirl of headlines and reposted tweets,
03:45
the internet's tendency to connect dots, even when they may be far apart,
03:49
has certainly made Ellen's situation more complicated.
03:53
While she and Portia de Rossi have kept relatively quiet since settling in the UK,
03:57
the online speculation surrounding their move, Diddy's crimes,
04:01
and that resurfaced tweet have dragged Ellen back into the spotlight she clearly tried to leave behind.
04:07
The theory that Ellen fled the US to avoid any fallout is just that, a theory.
04:12
But it's one that's now being echoed across social media,
04:15
thanks in large part to the public's growing skepticism of celebrity friendships
04:19
and the digital receipts that linger for years.
04:22
At this point, Ellen hasn't commented on the speculation,
04:25
nor has she responded to Elon Musk's eyebrow-raising repost.
04:28
Portia, too, has stayed silent.
04:30
What is clear, however, is that the internet is watching and remembering.
04:35
Whether this will blow over as another social media storm or lead to deeper public interest
04:39
in Ellen's associations remains to be seen.
04:42
But if there's one takeaway from this bizarre twist in the Diddy saga,
04:45
it's that no one, not even the queen of daytime TV,
04:49
can fully control how the public interprets a 2016 tweet,
04:53
especially when there's a conspiracy theory involved.
