“She’s moaning.

Driving under the influence is never safe

So far so good.

It is her next admission that has fans and ex-fans in a fit.

“You drove her yourself?”

Kimmel, 53, asked DeGeneres, who replied, “I did.

I mean, I kicked in, like my adrenaline, because I just had to rush her there.

It’s probably not safe, I shouldn’t be saying any of this” (viaPeople).

Driving under the influence is never a safe option.

The internet isn’t choosing to laugh with the comedian over her tale this time.

“This isn’t funny.

It’s insanely irresponsible.

People could have died.

NEVER get high and drive,“wroteone Twitter user.

So far, DeGeneres has yet to issue an apology or an explanation over her admission.

Though not to worry, her rep claims she is already at home and recovering (viaPeople).
