TRUMP-hater Eva Longoria has fled the US after Donald Trump’s election-winning results.
The Desperate Housewives actress, 49, has fled “dystopian” US for Mexico and Spain with her family.
The Texas born actress said she not longer wanted to live in Los Angeles amid claims that the city had “changed”.
Speaking to Marie Claire magazine, the actress and director said feared the US would become a “scary place” if Trump kept his election promises.
She said: “It just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.
“I'm privileged.
“I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren't so lucky.
“They're going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.”
Speaking about the election results, Longoria said: “The shocking part is not that he won…It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office.”
She’s not the only celebrity who has vowed to flee the US if Trump was elected.
Hollywood celebs have previously vowed to leave the country if he became President.
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris had an array of famous faces endorsing her campaign, including Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah Winfrey, Cardi B and Taylor Swift to name a few.
Many celebs expressed their grief, rage, and despair after Trump’s triumph, but none of them seemed to be rushing to their private jets and flee “failed America”.
Here we take a look at some of the stars who made the bold promise: “If Donald Trump wins, I’m out”.
Samuel L. Jackson
In December 2015, Samuel L. Jackson humorously suggested he might move to South Africa during a skit on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where the cast of The Hateful Eight sang about a "hateful eight ball."
After Donald Trump's election victory in November 2016, Jackson addressed the joke on Twitter, saying: "When you learn the difference between My Actual Opinion & A Kimmel Skit… Maybe we can talk. Till then, I'm Barbed Wire Up Your A**es!!"
Despite his outspoken criticism, Jackson has continued to live in the U.S.
Bryan Cranston
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston said in a late 2016 interview on The Bestseller Experiment podcast that he would "definitely move" to Vancouver, Canada, if Trump won the presidency.
But after Trump's victory, Cranston walked back his statement on Twitter, expressing shock but also hope that the president-elect could unify the country.
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg, a vocal Trump critic, refused to say Trump's name on The View after his 2016 election win.
She said: "He's the president. I'm still not going to say his name—that's not going to change."
Before the election, Goldberg suggested she might leave the U.S., saying: "Maybe it's time for me to move… I can afford to go."
But she later clarified she had no plans to leave.
In May 2024, Trump shared a meme claiming Goldberg would move to Canada if he won reelection, to which she responded on The View: "I'm not going anywhere… I've got a contract, so I'll be here where I'm wanted."
Cher
In 2015, Cher joked on X (formerly Twitter) that she would move to Jupiter if Trump became president.
Though she stayed in the U.S. after Trump's 2016 victory, she told The Guardian in October 2023 that his presidency caused her significant stress, even leading to health issues.
The singer said: "I almost got an ulcer the last time. If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave."
Cher had not commented on the latest election results on social media.
