Ellen's English Escape Derailed: Flooded Farm Fiasco Halts US Return

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's dream of relocating back to the US after fleeing Hollywood amid workplace toxicity scandals has stalled due to a disastrous flood at their $8.5 million UK farmhouse, which they recently listed for sale; the property, meant as a temporary haven, now requires extensive repairs after heavy rains turned parts of the 19th-century Cotswolds estate into a soggy mess, delaying their escape from what sources call a "nightmare" chapter in England.
