Actress Eva Longoria said she’s “privileged” to have the resources to move her family out of the “dystopian” United States.
The 49-year-old “Desperate Housewives” star made the remarks during a newly published interview with Marie Claire. Longoria, who was born in Texas and is of Tejano descent, is now splitting her time between Mexico and Spain.
“I had my whole adult life here,” Longoria told the outlet of the United States. “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 s*** on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
The Hollywood star mentioned her disdain for the election results, too. “The shocking part is not that [Donald] Trump won,” she said. “It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office.”
“If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place,” Longoria added.
While reflecting on Trump’s win in the 2016 election, the actress said, “I’ve never been depressed in my life.”

“It was like, ‘Does my vote really matter? Am I really making a difference?’” she told the outlet. “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.’”
The actress had endorsed Kamala Harris for president this election cycle and spoke at the Democratic National Convention. She campaigned for Democrats all summer, specifically focusing on women and Latino voters.
Longoria said she’s “privileged” to be able to leave the country. “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.”
The actress is currently living outside of the U.S. with her third husband, José Bastón, and their 6-year-old son Santiago. Longoria said she travels to Europe and South America for work but does not usually return to Los Angeles.
