Around this time last year, the National Enquirer reported DeGeneres became “smitten” with Aniston after the two shared a kiss on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. A supposed pal asserted DeGeneres “couldn’t stop gushing about Jen, and it’s turned into a crush.” The insider revealed this was,
a big issue for Portia, and you have to wonder how much more controversy the marriage can take. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if Portia leaves Ellen for good.
For those who don’t recall, Ellen DeGeneres had Howard Stern on her show and the two spoke about the backlash the host received for sitting with George W. Bush at an NFL game.
Though DeGeneres clarified that she is friends with the former President, Stern joked the situation would be forgotten if another picture floated around the internet, like a photo of Stern and DeGeneres kissing.
The two kissed. Then, when Jennifer Aniston appeared on the show, those two, who have been friends for years as well, talked about Stern’s appearance, and shared a brief kiss, before laughing.
Simply put, the entire situation was just a fun encounter between friends and nothing more. The unreliable paper took the innocent kiss and turned into a dramatic scene that was completely blown out of proportion. Portia de Rossi did not leave her wife over a non-romantic kiss.
It’s ridiculous to believe de Rossi and DeGeneres’ marriage would be affected by something that was clearly for entertainment purposes. Gossip Cop has corrected several rumors that plague DeGeneres and de Rossi’s marriage. For example, the Enquirer was busted by us for recently claiming the scandals surrounding DeGeneres would cause de Rossi to relapse.
