Ellen DeGeneres CANCELS four stand-up shows without explanation – after denying she was ever a ‘mean person’ during last show

Ellen DeGeneres chose not to address her fans before quietly canceling four scheduled shows in Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago on her 32-date comeback tour Ellen’s Last Stand… Up.

‘You don’t need to do a thing. We’ll issue a refund to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, as soon as funds are received from the Event Organizer.

‘It should appear on your account within 14-21 days. Please Note: If the tickets were transferred to you, the refund will go to the fan who originally purchased the tickets from Ticketmaster.’

The 66-year-old controversial comedian’s cancellations came hours after SF Gate homepage editor Gabe Lehman published his detailed review of her show Monday night at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa, CA.

‘Let me catch you up on what’s been going on with me since you last saw me,’ Ellen told the audience.

‘I got chickens. Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean.’

DeGeneres added: ‘I used to say, “I don’t care what people say about me.” Now I realize I said that during the height of my popularity.’

The 34-time Emmy winner noted how the first time she was ‘kicked out of show business’ it was for coming out as a lesbian in 1997.

‘Next time, I’ll be kicked out for being old. Old, gay and mean, the triple crown,’ Ellen – who said her intention was never to hurt anyone – wisecracked.

‘I can be demanding and impatient and tough. I am a strong woman. I am many things, but I am not mean.’
