“#Ellen Did WHAT?! Twitter<\/a> Drags DeGeneres After She Admits To Driving Under The Influence
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nJust as she was pulling herself out of a nasty hole, Ellen DeGeneres<\/strong> has done it again! The controversial talk show host casually revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> that she drove under the influence while rushing her wife Portia<\/strong> de Rossi<\/strong> to the hospital last month!<\/p>\n

WHAT?<\/p>\n

The 63-year-old admitted the full truth on Tuesday\u2019s episode of the late night series<\/a>, during one of many segments about pot (the episode was filmed on April 20, for reference). At first, the celeb said she \u201chated\u201d weed and had often refused it despite how many people have encouraged her to try marijuana gummies over the years.<\/p>\n

Yet\u2026 that all got walked back when she reflected on her wife\u2019s scary trip<\/a> to the hospital in March. App<\/a>arently \u2014 and what she conveniently<\/em> left out of her original telling of the story \u2014 Ellen had consumed three Cann<\/strong> marijuana-infused drinks AND two melatonin sleeping pills before realizing she needed to drive the actress to the ER for what was ultimately appendicitis.<\/p>\n

ICYMI, Portia had a turn for the worse in the middle of the night after not feeling well earlier in the day. Ellen woke to discover her clearly in need of some medical attention, recalling to Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m laying in bed, and I realize [Portia\u2019s] not in bed. She\u2019s moaning. I get out of bed, and she\u2019s on the ground on all fours. I go, \u2018You\u2019re not OK.\u2019 She goes, \u2018I\u2019m OK.\u2019 I said, \u2018No, unless you\u2019re playing Twister<\/strong> by yourself, you\u2019re not OK.\u2019 So I rushed her to the emergency room.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The worst part? It didn\u2019t seem to occur to the Hollywood A-lister that gushing to the world she had driven under the influence was a bad idea until she\u2019d already exposed herself. She was in a totally relaxed state while sharing new bits of the story, explaining what went down earlier in the evening, adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, Chelsea Handler<\/strong> told me about these weed drinks, they\u2019re called Cann, and they have CBD or [THC] \u2014 I don\u2019t know what the good thing is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Going along with the naivety (at one point in the segment, she even asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s it called? Pot? Marijuana?\u201d), the comedienne continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cI drank one, and I didn\u2019t feel anything, so I drank three, and then I took two melatonin sleep pills.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Cann\u2019s website, they have a variety of drinks that consume varying amounts of THC and CBD, with the least intoxicating featuring 2 mg THC and 4 mg of CBD, but others go as high as 5 mg of THC by itself. Either way, after having consumed three of these drinks \u2014 in which a high usually kicks in much later \u2014 it\u2019s clear Ellen should not have been behind the wheel!<\/p>\n

Realizing she might have made a big mistake, the former sitcom lead noted:<\/p>\n

\u201cI kicked in, like my adrenaline, because I just had to rush her there. It\u2019s probably not safe. I shouldn\u2019t be saying any of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No kidding!! Obviously, the medical emergency was unplanned, but things could have ended up much worse for both of them \u2014 or an innocent person. And it was the way the comedienne was laughing at herself throughout the interview that drove so many viewers crazy, especially those who had lost someone to drivers under the influence!<\/p>\n

Twitter<\/strong> was feeling pretty burned to hear a star who prides herself on treating \u201cpeople with kindness\u201d boast about doing something so senseless! Reacting to the stunning interview, users wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cTalk show host admits to driving under the influence of drugs smh. Should get her show banned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWTF\u2026.she\u2019s beyond rich and could\u2019ve gotten someone else to drive. Driving high is the same as Driving drunk. She could\u2019ve killed someone. I\u2019m so sick of her entitled ass\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the weed\u2026 it was her bad decision making\u2026 call 911! Or Uber or a f**king limo it\u2019s not like your [sic] hurting for $.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI lose ALL RESPECT FOR PEOPLE WHO do this careless crap. Getting behind the wheel knowing their compromised.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what ambulances are for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just kind of see her in a different light, now\u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yikes!! Not a good look for the daytime star! And to spill the story as a joke rather than acknowledging the real damage she could have caused?? Certainly not helping her win any followers back after her staffing scandal!<\/p>\n

Ch-ch-check out the full interview for yourself (below)!<\/p>\n
