No evidence linking Ellen DeGeneres to allegations in Diddy's trial, viral video debunked

Ellen DeGeneres, the former comedian, actress, television host, and writer, has DeGeneres has faced criticism online because of the new YouTube video and her past links with Combs, such as being seen in public together and maintaining a close friendship.

"Disclaimer: The stories presented on this channel are entirely fictional and crafted solely for entertainment.
