Ellen DeGeneres recently came out with the news that she tested positive for COVID-19 and is now speaking out about the symptoms she’s been experiencing. She shared a video recently, letting her fans know that she’s feeling “100 percent” despite learning that “excruciating back pain” and she’s been dealing with a whole lot of that.

“Hi everybody, just saying thank you to all the well wishes out there. I appreciate it very much,” DeGeneres says in the video. “I am feeling 100 percent. I feel really good. One thing they don’t tell you is you get, somehow, excruciating back pain,” she continued. She added she did not know it was a symptom of the virus. “Who knew? How come? Back pain. Bad.”

Ellen had been filming her show in-studio with no studio audience, with a mix of virtual and in-person celebrity guests. With this being said, a rep for the production company that produces The Ellen DeGeneres Show released a statement saying, “Following Ellen’s announcement this morning, we have paused production on the Ellen DeGeneres Show until January.”

During the most recent season premiere of the show, Ellen addressed toxic workplace allegations that surfaced over the summer season. “As you may have heard, this summer there were accusations of a toxic work environment at our show, and then there was an investigation,” she said in her opening monologue of the new season. “I learned that things happened here that never should have happened. I take that very seriously, and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected.”
She added that she is aware of her “position of privilege and power” and hopes to start “a new chapter” for the new season of the show with her 270 employees.
