Actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell recently revealed that she moved to Ireland on January 15th due to feeling unsafe as a woman and member of the LGBTQ community in America following Donald Trump’s election. O’Donnell is working towards getting Irish citizenship through her ancestry. She is not the only celebrity who has made such a move for political reasons. Sophie Turner, Eva Longoria, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, and Laverne Cox have also left the United States citing concerns about politics and social issues. Turner mentioned gun violence and the potential overturning of Roe v Wade as reasons for her return to the UK, while Longoria expressed dissatisfaction with issues such as homelessness and taxes in the US and noted her privilege in being able to leave. DeGeneres and de Rossi moved to rural England after Trump’s election and have no plans to return, while Cox, an advocate for the LGBTQ community, is considering moving to Europe or the Caribbean due to fears of being targeted as a transgender public figure in the US. These high-profile decisions highlight the ongoing debate around politics and social issues in the United States and the impact it has on individuals’ sense of safety and well-being.
