Donald Trump’s recent win in the elections over Kamala Harris has ignited a wave of fury among many celebrities. As a result, they have vowed to leave the US for their families to secure a safe haven.

Citing factors such as political climate, gun violence, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and progressive policies under Trump’s rule, these celebs look forward to seeking better opportunities abroad.

Reportedly, Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have already moved to England, a source close to the TV host told Daily Mail.

According to The Wrap, the couple have either pocket-listed their Montecito mansion, or it will soon be listed. “The relocation to England is a reflection of a yearning for a new beginning,” their source said. According to Ellen’s former spokesperson, she no longer represents the title of a comedian after the conclusion of her last tour. Besides Ellen, many celebrities have opted to relocate to other countries for personal and professional growth:

So, which are the other celebrities who have jumped on the bandwagon? Let’s have a look.

They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country."

Thank God Hollywood is getting rid of all the Rich, egotistical, bullying trash. (Before someone says it, my best friend is gay, and my daughter is a lesbian. So, my statement has nothing to do with any type of discrimination. Now that we got that out of the way. You are rich, stupid and probably running scared from something else. (My opinion.) YOU PEOPLE are giving the middle finger to the country that made you rich. You make me sick. Us People, you know the bottom feeders down here who spent our extremely Hard money on making movie stars to super rich, have no idea what it feels like under Biden and in 4 years our rent doubled and more. Its either rent or food on the table. Most of the Americans can't afford a gallon of milk at $5.00 when your only brining home $566.00 a week and your rent is $2000.00 a month. Do the math! Poor Peter he is busy running from bill to bill to see which one can he can rob from Paul. The bottom feeders down are extremely stressed to see what bill can fall over into the next month, just to buy groceries. My 2 sons, both still in school and are having to take jobs, (Don't get me wrong jobs are good. But this is different) Their jobs are not to save money so they can move on their own and start life. But to help me out so we are not homeless! I have 3 vehicles. All a POS and All 3 broke. We spend every weekend trying to fix it long enough to get to work and school for something else to break. Can't sell them they are broke. Can not buy a new one because my down payment money goes towards temporarily fixing our car, so we do the same thing all over again at the end of the week. 4 years ago, milk was $2.99 gallon my rent was $1075.00 on my 2-bedroom apartment, now same apartment $2000.00, my life was so much better. My country (not Yours anymore.) does not you want back. You are disgrace and Karma SUCKS!!!! I regret thinking you were so cool and take back every laugh that I ever gave these Hypocritical trader cowards. Look for the eye of needle, your ego will be too big to fit through it. So, I am so WHOOPI E!!!! She is leaving! Degenerant and De PORTIA tation, don't let the door hit you on the a** on your way out. AMERICA is beautiful name for someone who loves America. I pray the name changes. I'm not going to through a STONE at your glass house, because The STONE is old and brittle, and it might shatter. But I am going to tell you "Your welcome" YOU PEOPLE, are No different than "Draft Dodgers" and should have all your stars ripped up and sent packing with you. America Spoke Cowards! Us People, you know the bottom feeders down here. Spoke they do not want what has ruined so many of us in the last 4 years. I would say get over it! But You're not worth my breath. I am real and this my opinion and go F**k yourselves and get the fuck out of this country.
