Ellen DeGeneres Medal of Freedom made her emotional as President Barack Obama delivered a speech that highlighted the importance of her voice for the LGBT community. The famous host was teary eyed as President Obama fastened the medal around her neck. Meanwhile, DeGeneres divorce rumors that have made the headlines again in the past week have been debunked by a report from Gossip Cop.
DeGeneres Twitter post showed the host-comedian in all smiles as she told the world that she was awarded the Medal of Freedom, the country's prestigious and highest civilian honor. However, behind those smiles is an overwhelmed DeGeneres who teared up during the event after President Obama noted her good works as an LGBT activist. The President even made a DeGeneres-like joke toward the end of his speech to lighten up the mood of the audience as he was being "choked up."
DeGeneres LGBT support, according to President Obama, played an important role in paving the way to see the equality among people of today. "What an incredible burden it was to bear, to risk your career like that. People don't do that very often," the President said in his speech as per a report from Fortune.
Meanwhile, DeGeneres wife Portia de Rossi's growing unhappiness with being just a "trophy wife" apparently caused problems in their marriage. However, rumors about their break-up are busted as the couple is not on the brink of divorce, Gossip Cop reported. Gossip Cop seems confident to claim that Degeneres and de Rossi's relationship is doing well because their source has never given them wrong information, reportedly.
