Ellen DeGeneres Sued over California Crash that Left Woman Injured

The lawsuit claims Ellen DeGeneres caused serious injuries by negligently running a stop sign and t-boning another vehicle, resulting in multiple personal damages and financial losses.

  • Ellen DeGeneres faces a negligence lawsuit stemming from a traffic accident on October 16, 2023, in Santa Barbara County, California, where she is alleged to have run a stop sign and caused a T-bone crash.
  • The lawsuit states DeGeneres entered the intersection without stopping, suddenly collided with the plaintiff’s vehicle, and acted below the standard of care expected of a reasonable driver.
  • The plaintiff alleges that she came to a complete stop at her designated stop sign, confirmed the absence of other vehicles, and subsequently endured multiple serious injuries, lost wages, medical costs, as well as emotional distress and anxiety stemming from the collision.
  • The woman has filed a lawsuit against DeGeneres, alleging negligence and requesting an unspecified sum in damages to compensate for the considerable physical injuries and financial losses she claims to have endured due to the incident.
  • This lawsuit follows DeGeneres’ 2022 show ending amid toxic workplace allegations and precedes her permanent relocation to England after the 2024 presidential election.
