Eva Longoria Talks About Why She Left The US
Eva Longoria opened up in an interview with Marie Claire for their November cover story, citing the re-election of Donald Trump as president and the nation’s “changing vibe” following the Covid-19 pandemic as the reasons for her decision to finally move out of the country.
The election and the outcome made her decision final, the Desperate Housewives star stated. According to her, the startling thing about Donald Trump’s victory is that a “convicted criminal who spews so much hate” could be elected president.
“I had my whole adult life here. But even before (the 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 shit on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now,” she said.
She then added, “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 of how she felt when Trump became President in 2016 she says, “I’ve never been depressed in my life. It was like, ‘Does my vote really matter? Am I really making a difference?.’ I was so untethered to the core of what I believe because I truly believed in my soul that the best person wins. And then that happened, and I was like, ‘Oh, wait. The best person doesn’t win.’”
