The recent inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States on January 20 has sparked significant reactions across the nation, including within Hollywood. With Trump being the first individual convicted of a felony to take the oath of office, many celebrities have voiced their concerns, and some have even taken steps to leave the U.S.

Interestingly, it seems a large portion of these decisions are coming from female celebrities who are prioritizing their safety, family, and future amid political uncertainty.

Here’s a List of Celebrities Who Have Left or Are Considering Leaving the U.S.:

“If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place.”

“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.”

The former talk show host and her wife have reportedly relocated to the Cotswolds in the UK. According to an anonymous source quoted by The Wrap, the couple has no intention of returning to the U.S. during Trump’s presidency.

“She’s prioritizing her life and focusing on what’s important for her kids while maintaining her presence in the U.S. for work and advocacy.”

Barbra Streisand
Streisand has long been vocal about her opposition to Trump. During an interview with Stephen Colbert, she previously said:

“She and her boyfriend Alexander Edwards have their life together here, and she knows running won’t solve anything.”

The actress previously mentioned her interest in purchasing a house in Italy. However, insiders revealed she’s reconsidered, stating Stone is “a patriotic person” who feels a sense of duty to remain and help improve the country.

Minnie Driver
Driver, a British actress who has lived in Los Angeles for decades, expressed doubts about returning to the U.S. under Trump. She told The Times:

“If I lived in a red state, no, I couldn’t. But living in California, you are somewhat insulated.”

Vivian Wilson (Elon Musk’s Daughter)
Wilson, Elon Musk’s transgender daughter, shared her feelings online, stating she plans to leave the U.S. regardless of her father’s political affiliations. On Threads, she wrote:

“I don’t see my future being in the United States. Even if he’s only in office for 4 years, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon.”

Conclusion

As Trump begins his term, the divisive political climate has left many wondering about the future. For some celebrities, the decision to leave the U.S. reflects their fears and hopes for a better life elsewhere, while others grapple with staying to advocate for change. Regardless of their choices, the ongoing conversation highlights the uncertainty and emotion surrounding the current political landscape.
