Fox News Digital confirmed that their home was sold in August.

Representatives for DeGeneres and Rossi did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

DeGeneres previously claimed she'd been "kicked out of show business" in her Netflix standup special, "For Your Approval," released on Sept. 24. Reports of a toxic workplace environment, including allegations of sexual misconduct and harassment by top executives of her talk show, arose in 2020. Warner Bros. did an internal investigation and DeGeneres issued a written apology to her staff.

"I could not have the success I've had without all of your contributions. My name is on the show and everything we do and I take responsibility for that. Alongside Warner Bros., we immediately began an internal investigation and we are taking steps, together, to correct the issues. As we've grown exponentially, I've not been able to stay on top of everything and relied on others to do their jobs as they knew I'd want them done. Clearly some didn't. That will now change and I'm committed to ensuring this does not happen again," she added.

Warner Bros. announced following their findings, there would be staffing changes. "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" aired its final episode in 2022, but by then, DeGeneres' reputation had been permanently impacted.

"I'm privileged," she acknowledged. "I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren't so lucky. They're going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them." Longoria has split her time residing between Spain and Mexico for several years. 

After her commentary went viral, Longoria clarified in an additional interview that Trump was not the reason she left the U.S.
