TPV: Hollywood actress Eva Longoria has revealed she has fled the United States in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory, claiming the country has become “dystopian” and that she is “privileged” to be able to leave.
Longoria, who endorsed Kamala Harris, said that she and her family will split their time between Mexico and Spain until a Democrat is back in the Oval Office.
As for the presidential election, the Desperate Housewives actress said she is still in shock and has yet to recover from the trauma.
“The shocking part is not that he won,” Longoria told Marie Claire. “It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office.” Longoria added: “If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place,” she said, adding that she suffered from depression following Trump’s 2016 win.
Longoria called the U.S. “dystopian” in the interview, but reserved even stronger words for California.
“I had my whole adult life here,” Longoria told the magazine. “But even before [the COVID pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then COVID happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to s–t on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
Longoria said she is “privileged” to be able to leave the U.S. “I get to escape and go somewhere,” she said. “Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.”
Eva Longoria is the latest Hollywood star to freak out over Trump’s victory.
Other stars to publicly freak out include Jimmy Kimmel, Madonna, Cardi B, Rosie O’Donnell, Billie Eilish, and Barbra Streisand.
