NEW YORK — The popular television talk show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres said she was “proud and happy” that JCPenney remained committed to her after One Million Moms asked the retailer to dump her as a spokesperson because she is gay.
The group, a division of the conservative American Family Association, warned they would boycott J.C. Penney stores if the chain did not go along with their request.
DeGeneres addressed the issue on Tuesday at the taping of her television show. The show will air on Wednesday.
