Ellen DeGeneres is facing a new lawsuit after a woman claimed that the former talk show host ignored a stop sign while driving in Santa Barbara County, Calif., nearly two years ago and “t-boned” her car.
According to the lawsuit, viewed by People , the woman claims that DeGeneres, 67, “entered the intersection without stopping at the stop sign.”
The lawsuit says the intersection where the incident occurred on Oct. 16, 2023 “is controlled by stop signs in all directions.”
The plaintiff claims that she stopped for her stop sign and “made sure there were no other vehicles” present before continuing to drive forward. But she claimed that DeGeneres “suddenly and without any warning” collided with her car and “t-boned” her vehicle, which resulted in injuries to the plaintiff.
