Celebrity reactions continue to be over-the-top after President-elect Donald Trump’s big win on Tuesday. Many of these A-listers have previously threatened to leave the country if he won, which could leave fans to wonder if they’ll make good on those promises.
A source said actress America Ferrera is reportedly “sick” over the election results and said she has plans to move to the United Kingdom, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
Their insider said she intended to move with her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, and their two kids.
“America is sick that Donald Trump is President again,” a source close to the actress told The Daily Mail. “She is devastated that Kamala lost. She thought the country she lived in was better than that.”
She’s not the only one. The singer Cher said she was planning to leave as well. “I almost got an ulcer the last time. If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country],” the 78-year-old recording artist told The Guardian last year.
Barbra Streisand told late-night host Stephen Colbert last year that she couldn’t “live in this country if he becomes president.” She was also thinking about Europe as an alternative option, saying, “I like England.”
However, there’s a good chance Streisand won’t follow through on that promise. The singer said the same thing ahead of Trump’s win in 2016, telling Australian journalist Michael Usher, “I’m either coming to your country, if you’ll let me in, or Canada.” She wound up doing neither.

Sharon Stone previously said she was considering relocating to Europe if Trump won. “I am certainly considering a house in Italy,” Stone told the Daily Mail in July. “I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time. This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.”
“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg also said she was considering a move if Trump won ahead of the 2016 election. “Maybe it’s time for me to move, you know. I can afford to go,” she said at the time. In May of this year, the president-elect replied to a clip posted on Truth Social of Goldberg’s 2016 comment and wrote, “Canada doesn’t want you Whoopi, NOBODY DOES!!!”
Later, Goldberg tried to clarify her statements, claiming she never threatened to leave. “A lot of folks have said they were leaving over the course of these last couple years if Trump got elected. And, once again, people assume that that’s what I [said],” the daytime TV host said, claiming she was “incorrectly lumped” in with that group.
Goldberg then read the transcript of herself saying, “Maybe it’s time for me to move,” as proof that she never threatened to move.
There are some stars who already left. Actress Minnie Driver, who lived in Los Angeles for decades, said she returned to the U.K. and wasn’t planning to come back.
“If I lived in a red [Republican] state, no, I couldn’t,” she said of returning to the U.S. during an interview in July.
“But living in California, you are somewhat insulated. But do you want to go and live in a bubble? Do you run away from the fire or do you go back and help?”
Driver also expressed disdain for Trump’s supporters, saying she was upset by “the revelation of the 70 million people who really quite like a bit of a racist attitude and non-existent immigration policies and dismantling the environmental agencies. And they were always there; they weren’t created by him. He’s just a symptom, and now they’ve got a mascot.”
