Kim Kardashian was among the stars showing their support for Ellen DeGeneres’ comeback comedy gig in LA on Wednesday – two years after the end of her popular daytime talk show.
The reality star, 43, joined celebrities including sister Khloe Kardashian, 39, Katy Perry, 39, and Orlando Bloom, 47, at the gig at Largo at The Coronet.
The comedian, 66, was set to unload a new stand-up set after claims that she allowed a ‘toxic’ workplace to fester on the set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show scuttled her prime spot on daytime television.
Kim cut a casual figure in a blue sweater and leather flares – paired with a selection of glittering handbags.
Her blonde locks were styled in soft waves and she sported smoky eyeshadow as she attended the event.
Ellen is getting back into stand-up comedy for a tour and what she claims will be her final comedy special two years on from a scandal that led to the end of her popular daytime talk show.
In April, she complained in an earlier stand-up show at Largo that becoming ‘the most hated person in America’ had turned her into a recluse.
The controversy swirled up in 2020, when DeGeneres was accused by former employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show of fostering an environment that allowed executives to allegedly bully and Sєxually harᴀss employees and make racist statements.
An investigation launched by WarnerMedia led the the firing of three executives, and Ellen claimed in a letter addressed to her staff that she had been completely unaware of all the incidents they had allegedly experienced.
Despite her seemingly apologetic tone, DeGeneres later described the controversy as a ‘coordinated misogynistic’ attack, because she said she couldn’t possibly have known what was going on with all of her employees, as the show had around 225 people working on it across multiple buildings.
She eventually said goodbye to her long-running series in 2022 after 19 seasons on the air.
Kim was stepping out amid furore for appearing on Variety’s Actors on Actors series opposite Oscar-nominated actress Chloe Sevigny.
