Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi are reportedly heading for a divorce. Latest gossip news updates revealed that the host has publicly humiliated the “Scandal” actress which forced many to speculate that a split is happening sooner rather than later.
According to Radar Online, Ellen Degeneres embarrassed Portia de Rossi when she forgot her manners at a recent event.
"Ellen's team came to do her hair and Portia asked them if they wanted water... Ellen ripped into her, screaming, 'Don't offer them water! We already offered!'" an insider revealed.
It was said that Portia was left shocked by Ellen's behavior and refused to speak the entire evening. The insiders added that this was not the first time that Ellen spoke that way to Portia.
"Ellen controls Portia. No one knows why she puts up with it. Their relationship is so unhealthy."
Fanning the flames, a source told OK! Magazine, via Inquistr, that Ellen and Portia has long been living in separate homes.
"An investigation has revealed that while Portia continues to live at their huge West Hollywood estate with the family dogs, Ellen has a separate pied-a-terre where she often spends days and nights away from her house."
The source added that Portia De Rossi had enough of Ellen DeGeneres' control issues and wanted to be independent, away from her wife's shadow.
"Portia is still delicate. She has been open about her insecurities and eating disorder. At first she liked that Ellen had such a dominant personality, but now it is taking a toll. She can't keep living like this."
Meanwhile, Ellen has recently spoke up about the "ridiculous" divorce rumors in an interview with Matt Lauer on the "Today Show."
"I'm just more flabbergasted by the fact that someone needs to make up a story. There's never been a point where we were breaking up or divorcing or fighting."
