HOLY COW! TUBBY ELLEN GAINS 27 LBS!
Food has become a source of comfort -PALS
STRESSED-OUT and scandal-scarred Ellen DeGeneres is binge eating her way toward an early grave, according to sources close to the disgraced daytime icon!
With her “be nice” image in tatters after allegations by multiple staffers that she presided over a toxic work environment — and her show getting spanked in the ratings by daytime chat rival Kelly Clarkson — insiders spilled 62-year-old Ellen is burying her sorrows by bingeing on junk food and milkshakes! Friends said she’s packed on nearly 30 pounds in 30 days after Kelly beat her in the ratings for the third week in a row, and is now waddling around at a scale-smashing 172 pounds! “Ellen is convinced the world has turned on her and hides in her dressing room or locks herself in her bedroom at home and eats until she can barely breathe,” a source dished. “It’s the only thing that gives her any comfort these days, and the results speak for themselves — she’s bursting out of her clothes!” Worse, Ellen’s massive weight gain comes just as she finished quarantining for two weeks after revealing she had
contracted COVID-19.
“This is the WORST time possible for her to put on the pounds,” said weight loss and nutrition expert Dr. Stuart Fischer, who believes she’s gained 27 pounds.
“This kind of weight gain after a COVID diagnosis puts her at direct risk of a ‘cytokine storm,’ which creates clots that block blood flow to vital organs and cause a patient to go into shock, risking permanent organ damage — or death!”
Even without the terrifying coronavirus concerns, doctors believe five-foot-seven Ellen’s newfound excess cargo places her in danger of contracting an array of potentially lifethreatening illnesses.
“She’s showing an alarming amount of belly fat,” said longevity expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin. “Belly fat is an indication you are storing fat in your liver, which raises your blood sugar levels and leads to diabetes and potential heart attacks!”
Dr. Fischer, author of “The Park Avenue Diet,” believes this kind of sudden weight gain for Ellen — who did not respond to a request for comment — can be catastrophic and puts her at risk of at least 65 illnesses, “including breast, cervical and uterine cancers.”
As The National ENQUIRER reported in September, multiple ex-staffers claimed the work culture on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” was tainted by racism, bullying and intimidation — forever tarnishing the once-beloved daytime yakker’s “be kind” image and generating a landslide of negative publicity.
“Ellen thought when she returned to the show in September and apologized to her audience everything would blow over,” a source said. “But many viewers have abandoned her for Kelly, and she drew even MORE criticism when she tried to push off much of the blame on the producers she fired.
“Now she’s in full-on meltdown mode — and this industrial-strength comfort eating has people terrified she may be killing herself!”
