Ellen DeGeneres has been accused of causing an auto collision in California prior to her move to England.
In documents obtained by Page Six on Friday, a woman driver claimed the former talk show hit her Tesla after allegedly blowing past a stop sign in Santa Barbara County in October 2023.
Per the docs, the woman claimed while driving her Tesla, she came upon an intersection with multiple stop signs, stopped and checed for oncoming traffic before proceeding.
The complainant alleged while moving into the intersection, she was abruptly T-boned by the comedian, 67, causing her an injury.
Per the docs, citing DeGeneres’ alleged failure to yield at the stop sign, the complainant is suing her for negligence and seeking unspecified damages.
A representative for DeGeneres did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The news comes just over two weeks after a former cameraman on the star’s former eponymous talk show came forward with more claims about the show’s allegedly toxic atmosphere.
“We went through a lot of male employees just in general,” the ex-employee claimed to the Daily Mail last month. “We had a feeling she really didn’t like guys.”
While the former staffer on the daily show said DeGeneres could be “nice,” to staffers, if they were “caught in conversation with [her wife] Portia [de Rossi,]” they could be in trouble.
“You just hoped and prayed you weren’t seated by her wife, so you didn’t get her attention,” he claimed. He also accused his former boss of having a feud with “Hell’s Kitchen” star Gordon Ramsay, saying that she once told an EP, “Don’t let this guy on the show again.”
In 2020, when a deluge of toxic workplace claims emerged, the comedian addressed the allegations on the now defunct show.
“I learned that things happened here that never should’ve happened,” she told the audience. “I take that very seriously, and I want to say I’m so sorry to the people who were affected.” The show came to an end in 2022.
DeGeneres — who also allegedly fell out with Rosie O’Donnell after decades of friendship — fled the United States with de Rossi following the 2024 presidential election and settled across the pond at a dreamy farmhouse in the Cotswolds. In July, news broke they were selling the estate and had already moved to another home nearby.
The actress confirmed that same month that she and the “Arrested Development” star had left the country because of the second election of president Donald Trump.
“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in,’” she recalled in an onstage conversation with British host Richard Bacon, per the BBC. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’”
She added in part, “Everything here is just better — the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.”
