Dozens of celebrities pledged to flee the states after Trump's first election victory in 2016 but ultimately back-peddled on those promises.
I'm a Trump-hating celebrity... get me out of here! The mortified lefty stars fleeing America after Kamala's crushing defeat... and where they're heading now
As Donald Trump vows to Make America Great Again mortified Hollywood hotshots are trading the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles for a new life overseas.
Left-wing celebrities who were devastated by Trump's landslide election victory have pledged to flee America in order to give their families a better life.
Eva Longoria, a Texas native who has been living abroad for work, is taking permanent residency in Mexico and Spain with her husband and son in order to 'escape' her 'dystopian' homeland.
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi put their California mansion up for sale after the election results came in and kickstarted their 'retirement' in the UK, with sources alleging the 'US doesn't like her because of her sexual preferences'.
The couple may soon see some familiar faces in Britain as several American stars, including America Ferrera and Barbra Streisand have said they are considering taking up residency in the UK.
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling were already living in the UK and are now planning to stay put, a sentiment echoed by British-American actress Minnie Driver, who returned to London after nearly three decades of living in Los Angeles.
Sophie Turner also returned to her native UK last year after realizing she had to 'get the f**k out' of America due to gun violence and the overturning of Roe v Wade.
While some American stars have actually followed through with their plans to live abroad, an election-fueled celebrity mass exodus is not likely.
Dozens of celebrities - including Miley Cyrus, Samuel L. Jackson and Whoopi Goldberg, who to this day refuses to say Trump's name - pledged to flee the states after the Republican's first election victory in 2016 but ultimately back-peddled on those promises.

The TV host, 66 and the actress, 51, shocked fans after they were spotted exploring their new stomping ground in rural England - amid reports that they put their Montecito mansion on the market in response to the 2024 presidential election.
'Make no mistake about it. This is Ellen and Portia's retirement,' an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. 'Neither one of them have any projects lined up.'
The insider noted that the former talk show heavyweight has been left juggling far less work following accusations that she fostered a toxic workplace on her show's set.

Ellen and Portia have been seen in The Cotswolds, a portion of southwest England that is about 100 miles from London and known as the A-list capital of Britain
'With all the ill will towards her, and with Trump winning, she is glad she is making the move and going to be away from the US.'
'An enormous part of the US doesn't like her because of her sexual preferences, and others were turned off by her persona, which was perceived to be fake.'
AMERICA FERRERA - UK
America Ferrera's decision to flee the US in search of the 'best opportunities' for her children in the UK was cemented by Donald Trump's election victory, insiders claim.
It was reported earlier this month that the Ugly Betty alum, 40, was planning to relocate across the pond with her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, and their son Sebastian, six, and daughter Lucia, four.
'America is sick that Donald Trump is President again,' an insider told DailyMail.com just days after the election. 'She is devastated that Kamala lost. She thought the country she lived in was better than that.'

SHARON STONE - ITALY OR FRANCE
Sharon Stone pledged earlier this year that she would leave America for a new life in Europe if Donald Trump won the presidential election.
Stone, 66, said in July that she is thinking of buying a house in Italy if Trump got into the White House again, saying: 'I am certainly considering a house in Italy. I think that's an intelligent construct at this time.'
She added: 'This is one of the first times in my life that I've actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.'

Streisand also vowed to quit the US in after Trump's 2016 election, saying she was either relocating to the UK or Canada. However, she never followed through on her promise.
CHER - UNDISCLOSED
Cher said in October last year that she suffered health issues as result of Donald Trump's previous term.
The singer and actress added that this time she was determined to relocate from the US under Trump's leadership.
The star made a similar claim in June 2015, ahead of his first election. She tweeted, 'If he were to be elected, I'm moving to Jupiter,' but did not appear to have relocated in the years following, in which Trump was elected to office and served.
Cher has not said anything on social media about her alleged relocation plans since Trump's election victory.
Cher, pictured last month in Cleveland, had more cosmic aspirations. 'If he were to be elected, I'm moving to Jupiter,' she tweeted, describing Trump as a 'loudmouth a******'

Sophie Turner, pictured at Claridges Hotel in London, says she realized she had to 'get the f**k out' of America due to gun violence and the overturning of Roe v Wade
The political climate in US was what she found to be most challenging.
'The gun violence, Roe v Wade being overturned... Everything just kind of piled on. After the Uvalde [school] shooting, I knew it was time to get the f*** out of there.'
CELEB EXODUS BACK-PEDDLERS
After Donald Trump's first election victory, dozens of celebrities pledged to flee their lives in America.
Their statements of leaving the country were simply exaggerated forms of protest, designed to grab attention rather than genuine moving plans.
It appears most never seriously entertained leaving the US, even as they doubled down on their critiques.
In the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election, Whoopi Goldberg expressed strong opposition to Trump's candidacy, saying on The View, 'Maybe it's time for me to move, you know. I can afford to go.'
The View's Whoopi Goldberg, a notable critic of Trump's political career, refused to acknowledge Trump by name on the chat show after his 2024 election victory
In May 2024, Trump shared a meme suggesting Goldberg would move to Canada if he were elected again, adding, 'Canada doesn't want you Whoopi, NOBODY DOES!!!'
Goldberg, a notable critic of Trump's political career, also refused to acknowledge Trump by name on her chat show the day after his 2024 election victory.
'He's the president,' Goldberg said. 'I'm still not going to say his name - that's not going to change.
LENA DUNHAM
Girls creator Lena Dunham told an audience in 2016 that she would '100 percent move to Canada' while appearing at the Matrix Awards in April of 2016 in New York City, the CBC reported.
She said: 'I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will ... I know a lovely place in Vancouver and I can get my work done from there.'
Her sincerity seemed real at the time, yet Dunham is still very much in the United States. Perhaps Canadian winters were less appealing in hindsight.

AMY SCHUMER
Schumer told the BBC in September 2016: 'My act will change because I will need to learn to speak Spanish because I will move to Spain or somewhere. It’s beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It’s just too crazy.'

SAMUEL L. JACKSON

After Trump was elected, Cranston, who publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in the most recent election, walked back his statement.
RAVEN-SYMONÉ
Actress Raven-Symoné also promised she would move to Canada with her family should Trump win.
She emphasized her seriousness on The View in 2016, saying, 'I already have my ticket. I literally bought my ticket, I swear.'
Despite this declaration, she remained in the United States after the election.

Miley Cyrus took umbrage at a Trump presidency, posting on Instagram in 2016: 'Honestly f*** this s*** I am moving if this is my president! I don't say things I don't mean!'
But following Trump's 2016 election win, Cyrus did not leave the country, and ultimately denounced her previous comments, calling them 'dumb' and 'ignorant.'

Actress Neve Campbell, originally from Canada, indicated in 2016 she would return to her home country if Trump won. But like others, Campbell (pictured in LA in May this year) ultimately stayed in the US, continuing her work in Hollywood
