Eva Longoria moves out of US saying that the vibe was different, talks about Trump’s win
Actress Eva Longoria is very much done with the United States. After living most part of her life in America, the actress has revealed that she, along with her husband and their son, has moved out of the United States.
The Desperate Housewives actress has found her new home in Spain and Mexico.
Speaking on Marie Claire’s Age Issue, Longoria said that despite spending her “whole adult life” in LA, the actress said that something changed in the city and country.
“The vibe was different,” she explains, “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.”
“I’m privileged,” she adds later. “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.”
Longoria, a vocal supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris, also talked about Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections in 2024.
Recalling the first time when Trump won in 2016, the actress recalled, “I’ve never been depressed in my life.”
“It was like, ‘Does my vote really matter? Am I really making a difference?’” she said. “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.’”
However, talking about his second win, she 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 adds, “I would like to think our fight continues.”
Expressing her fears about Trump’s coming four-year tenure, the actress said that the country “is a scary place,” she continues. “If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place.”
