Karmic Punching Bag Ellen DeGeneres' Home Burglary Might Have Been an 'Inside Job'

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote that things don’t look good for ol’ Ellen DeGeneres. And now, with the passage of time, as leaves fall to the ground and crumble into dirt and mix with the rain and congeal into that mud that I will carry with me on the bottom of my sensibly heeled strappy sandals as I skip through the shadows on this sundial called life…they still don’t!
In case you missed it last month amidst all the allegations about DeGeneres engendering a hostile work environment on the set of her daytime talk show (I did), there was apparently a burglary at the embittered I mean embattled TV host’s $27 million dollar Montecito home over Fourth of July weekend. Police initially told the press that DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi had been “targeted due to [their] celebrity status,” but now it appears that the heist might have been an “inside job.”
The Sun obtained an email newsletter sent out by the Montecito Association—essentially the neighborhood association for this super-wealthy, celebrity-filled enclave east of Santa Barbara in Southern California—telling Ellen’s neighbors that they shouldn’t worry about getting similarly burglarized. “If it had been a case of outsiders coming in and breaking and entering, I’d have alerted you to be on the lookout and lock up everything,” the newsletter from the Montecito Association’s executive director reads. “According to our very helpful Sheriff Lt. Arnoldi, that appears to be an inside job.”
