Eva Longoria reveals the REAL reason she left America after Trump’s victory

Eva Longoria has made it clear she did not leave the US because of Donald Trump, despite warnings that the country has become ‘dystopian’.

The actress confirmed that she has moved to Europe due to her work commitments.

She explained her decision during a phone call to her friend Ana Navarro, who appeared on television Behind the table podcast.

‘I didn’t leave because of the political climate. I left because my work took me there,” said Longoria, 49 years old.

‘I am a proud American. I have always been a proud American. Proud Texan, proud American. “I didn’t want it to be perceived that I was leaving because of Trump – absolutely not – or because of the election.”

But she insists his victory was not enough to drive her out of the country.

“Would you please let them know that I didn’t move from the United States because of Trump?” she said to Navarro.
