Overview

• A newly reported complaint alleges DeGeneres ran a stop sign and t‑boned another car in Santa Barbara County on October 16, 2023.
• Fox News Digital reports the case was filed in Los Angeles County court and identifies the area as Evans Avenue near Ortega Hill Road.
• Court filings claim the plaintiff stopped at her sign and proceeded before DeGeneres entered the intersection without stopping.
• The lawsuit alleges negligent conduct below a reasonable standard of care and cites wage loss, medical bills, emotional distress and other harms in seeking compensatory damages.
• DeGeneres has not publicly responded and representatives did not immediately comment, and the allegations remain unproven in the ongoing civil case.
