Fox News
Ellen DeGeneres faces mixed reactions after posting video about Minneapolis protests, with critics targeting the former talk show host who moved to the U.K.
"I just wanted to say I am so sorry for what is happening in Minneapolis and our country, really, but specifically Minneapolis right now," DeGeneres began in her video. "Because it's where I shot my last stand-up special, and everybody there couldn't have been more lovely."
"I shot it there because they say it's the happiest city in America. And I found that to be true," the comedian added. "So my thoughts and my prayers are going out to everyone. And I'm proud of everyone who's protesting peacefully, and I am sorry for anyone who has been hurt just for protesting, for doing what you should be doing."
