Ellen DeGeneres had a really tough time in 2020. There was a lot of controversy over her presumed “mean treatment” and disrespect towards guests and employees of her show. She spent much of the year doing as much damage control as possible, and was aiming to have a better go of things in 2021.

It seems that 2021 had other plans, as Ellen was forced to rush her wife, Portia de Rossi to the hospital recently.

As it turns out, she had to have emergency surgery to remove her appendix and she luckily had Ellen by her side during the painful process, and through the initial stages of recovery.

This is all pretty fresh, and the ladies have really been through a lot together in the past little while.

Now that things have just started to settle down, Ellen has decided to give Portia a gift, but it’s not the average kind of present.

Ellen gifted Portia her appendix back… and it’s been bronzed.

Well, That's Different...

Ellen DeGeneres has always had an interesting sense of humor, and she’s known for her wild pranks and funny antics, even in the worst of times. She’s someone fans can always count on to take a bad situation and somehow turn it into a hysterical one.

She has also been known to be very generous when it comes to gifting, especially when the presents are for the love of her life, Portia de Rossi.

Celebrities have been known to gift one another some pretty weird things from time to time, but this one is really bizarre, by anyone’s standards.

Ellen DeGeneres has taken the appendix that was removed from Portia’s body, and she has had it bronzed.

Is that weird?

Many fans think so.

Gory Gift

This gory gift of a bronzed appendix is a strange one indeed. Perhaps Portia sees this surgery as a battle she has conquered and the bronzed appendix is serving as her trophy of survival.

Or, it’s possible that this is just plain weird, and Ellen may have taken this gifting situation just a tad bit too far.

Fans were initially shocked to hear that this was actually being given to Portia, and it didn’t take long for the comments to start pouring in.

One fan wrote; “OMG! You just made me spit out a mouthful of water. Wishing you and Portia a safe and Happy Easter. P.S. I hope Portia appreciates your gift,” while another said: “I laughed, then I remembered my daughter’s surgeon asked if she wanted to take hers home. Still not sure if he was serious. It haunts me!! “

One fan’s shock and horror was apparent when they wrote: “I can’t tell if you are joking! Please be joking!”
