Ellen DeGeneres Sued After Allegedly Causing Car Crash

Ellen DeGeneres is facing some legal trouble.

A woman is suing the former talk show host for negligence, alleging that Ellen ignored a stop sign while driving in Santa Barbara, California, causing her to crash into the side of the plaintiff’s car, according to court documents obtained by People.

According to the lawsuit, the intersection where the incident occurred back in October 2023 “is controlled by stop signs in all directions.”

And while the woman alleged that she stopped for her stop sign and “made sure there were no other vehicles” before proceeding to move forward, per the outlet, Ellen allegedly “suddenly and without any warning” collided into her vehicle and “t-boned” her Tesla.

The woman went on to claim in the lawsuit, per People, that she suffered “multiple serious personal injuries and damages” as a result of the accident as well as wage loss, accrued hospital and medical expenses and “loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and anxiety.”
