Eva Longoria has revealed that she and her family have left the “dystopian” United States and are now dividing their time between Mexico and Spain.
“I had my whole adult life here,” Longoria told Marie Claire of the U.S. “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.”
‘Desperate Housewives’ actress also cited political concerns as one of the reasons for her decision to leave the U.S.
“If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place,” she said. Longoria also took a second to recall Trump’s 2016 win, when she said, “I’ve never been depressed in my life.
Longoria shared her gratitude for the opportunity to relocate. “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.”
She went on to acknowledge that she is “privileged” to be able to make the decision to move away.
