  • In late May and early June 2025, a rumor on YouTube and TikTok (archived) claimed a judge ordered comedian Ellen DeGeneres' arrest after a recording from the late Stephen "tWitch" Boss was played during rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial. Boss, who was a DJ and executive producer on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," died by suicide in December 2022. One YouTube video titled "1 Minute Ago: Judge Orders Ellen DeGeneres Arrest After Twitch's Recording's Played in Diddy's Trial," had nearly 75,000 views as of this writing. A popular TikTok video had the same caption: The title of another YouTube video shared on May 27, 2025, read "Judge Orders Ellen DeGeneres Arrest Warrants After tWitch's Last Recording Played In Diddy's Trial." Snopes readers also searched our site to find out whether the claim about DeGeneres' arrest warrant was true. However, the claim that a judge ordered an arrest warrant for DeGeneres after a recording was played at Combs' trial is false. If a judge had issued an arrest warrant for DeGeneres, reputable news outlets would have reported on it. But searches on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Yahoo found no media outlets credibly reporting on such a warrant. Instead, those searches displayed reports debunking the rumor as well as links to other videos making similar false claims. There's no evidence that DeGeneres or Boss have been named at any point during Combs' trial, either. Their names do not appear in any of the lists of celebrities mentioned during the trial, as published by news outlets such as Newsweek and NewsNation in June 2025. Snopes reached out to DeGeneres' representatives for comment and will update this story if we receive a response. A TikTok account that shared the rumor (archived) has also promoted other false claims in the past, including one about Usher testifying in court against Combs. Snopes has debunked claims about Usher testifying at Combs' trial. For further reading, Snopes also investigated rumors about Jim Carrey testifying at Combs' trial and explained why former U.S. President Barack Obama was briefly mentioned during the trial.
