Ellen Opens Up


Comic and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has a not-so funny tale to tell. The New York Daily News reports that DeGeneres has publicly discussed the molestation she says she endured at the hands of her stepfather thirty years ago.

The report, which cites an interview DeGeneres gave to Allure magazine, tells her account of the molestation that allegedly occurred when the comic was 17. Her mother's breast cancer and mastectomy reportedly gave her stepfather, Betty DeGeneres' third husband, an "excuse" to "examine" the younger DeGeneres. The unnamed stepfather told her he thought he'd felt a lump in her mother's other breast "but he [didn't] want to alarm [Betty], so he [needed] to feel mine to make sure," explained DeGeneres. "He made me lie down because he said he felt hers while she was lying down," DeGeneres recalled. "It escalated into other things....He tried to break down the door to my bedroom....I had to kick a window out and escape and sleep in a hospital all night long."

DeGeneres has had her share of pain as an adult also. DeGeneres confessed to interviewer Kevin Sessums that she wept for days when former girlfriend Anne Heche dumped her after four years to marry Coley Laffoon. "Anne broke my heart into a million pieces," DeGeneres said. "When Anne left, I'd wake up in the morning, and my eyes would just immediately fill up with tears, and I would start convulsively crying. I'd watch the sun come up and then go down and I'd literally be in the same place on the floor. I've never spoken to her since she left." DeGeneres explained that she thought she saw Heche one day. "There would have been a point where that would have made me so nervous," DeGeneres confessed. "But I realized I felt nothing, and feeling nothing about her was great."

As for her recent break-up and hook-up with new girlfriend Portia de Rossi, 15 years her junior, DeGeneres is thinking positive. "I pray that Portia and I are together the rest of our lives," she said.

You Said

Plus, she found out her first love was cheating on her and was killed in a car wreck a few days after the breakup. Suprising she still seems so happy and upbeat.
