Ellen DeGeneres and Vance Look Alike: The Sibling Bond Shines in Rare Photo
Ellen DeGeneres' Family Ties: Sis Vance Comes Out Swinging Amid Scandal
In a rare sighting, Ellen DeGeneres was spotted with her older brother Vance DeGeneres in a recent Instagram post. The 67-year-old comedienne and actress celebrated her sibling's birthday by sharing a photo of the two of them looking like twins - or at least, more like each other than ever before! For the first time, they're rocking the same dark gray hair color, which is quite a departure from their usual styles.
But what's even more interesting is that Vance, 71, has been speaking out in defense of his sister amid the scandal surrounding her former talk show. As a writer and producer himself, Vance has been a part of Ellen's inner circle for years, working on several projects together, including "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" and "Crazy, Stupid, Love." He even served as co-president of Steve Carell's Carousel Productions at Warner Bros. for six whole years!
But what really gets our attention is Vance's scathing response to the allegations against Ellen. When confronted with claims of racism, bullying, and a toxic work environment on her show, Vance fired back on Twitter: "If you think Ellen would knowingly allow bullying or racism on her show, you don’t know my sister." Ouch!
It seems like Vance is not afraid to speak his mind, even going so far as to say that the accusations against Ellen are "all bulls*" in a Facebook post. He even dared his followers to unfriend him if they didn't support his sister, stating, "If you don’t support Ellen, then you don’t support me."
Now, we know what you're thinking: is this just sibling loyalty, or does Vance really believe that Ellen's innocent? We can't help but wonder if there's more to the story.
But enough about drama - let's talk about something else. Did you see Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi's adorable 17th wedding anniversary post on Instagram? The couple shared a heartwarming video from their special day, complete with pink flowers, crystal glasses, and even a "party barn"!
As it turns out, the happy couple has been busy making some big changes in their personal lives. Just last month, they announced that they're selling their £20 million Cotswolds estate - yes, you read that right, £20 MILLION! They snapped up the 43-acre property just a year ago, but reportedly needed to move on because of Portia's horse obsession (she brought her horses over from the US!).
Ellen explained in an interview with The Wall Street Journal via Sotheby's realtors: "When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn't live without her horses. We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them." Who can blame her? Those horses are clearly priority number one!
But the best part is that the power couple is already living in another property with enough space for their equine friends while they wait for their current estate to sell. Talk about having it all - luxury, love, and lots of room for horses galore!
So there you have it - Ellen DeGeneres' latest family drama, plus a healthy dose of horse-filled happiness. What's your take on the whole scandal? Do you think Vance is just being loyal, or does he really believe in his sister's innocence? Sound off in the comments below!
