Sofia Vergara hopes for Ellen DeGeneres return?

Sofia Vergara is one of the last few celeb supporters of Ellen DeGeneres, per an insider.

Ellen, who has now moved to the U.K. with wife Portia de Rossi, fell from public grace after claims of a hostile work environment were made by staffers at The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Despite her departure from the U.S., Sofia reportedly believes and hopes that the former talk show host will make a comeback.

“It’s not an overstatement to say that some of the qualities that got Ellen shamed or cancelled in the public eye are the exact qualities that helped her initially bond with Sofía,” a tipster told In Touch.

“It’s more than just mutual respect,” the source said of the bond between the duo, adding, “they both have that ‘girl boss’ DNA and a killer instinct when it comes to making money.”

According to the insider, the Griselda star “is among the people in Hollywood who simply don’t buy that Ellen is done with show business, even if she has completely left southern California.”

“As far as Sofía is concerned,” the mole continued of Sofia Vergara’s soft spot for the comedian, “Ellen is not a lost cause and just needed a break from the endless barrage of online criticism she was getting. Ellen certainly took all that stuff to heart a lot more than Sofía would in the same situation, but remember, Hollywood loves a comeback story and Ellen is still a household name that brings up a lot of fond memories.”
