Bill Burr’s recent comments telling celebrities to stay in the US and “fight” rather than move abroad have people asking exactly who’s actually left, and when. Here’s what’s been reported so far.
π Who has left, and when
| Celebrity | New location | When |
|---|---|---|
| Ellen DeGeneres | United Kingdom | Late 2024 |
| Rosie O’Donnell | Ireland | January 2025 |
| Courtney Love | Not specified in reporting | Not specified in reporting |
Both DeGeneres and O’Donnell have named Donald Trump as a factor in their decision to leave. Courtney Love has also left the US for similar political reasons, though the reporting doesn’t give a specific move date for her.
Names that come up but don’t quite fit
Richard Gere and Eva Longoria both have homes outside the US, but their reasons haven’t been reported as politically motivated β so they’re a different case from the departures above, not part of the same trend.
Where Bill Burr’s comments fit in
Burr raised the topic in a Rolling Stone interview, arguing that celebrities upset about political unrest should stay and fight rather than relocate. The same interview touched on other, unrelated things he’s interested in, like flying helicopters and general worries about societal collapse. The interview doesn’t get into Burr’s own plans or specific policy views beyond that.
Keep in mind
Celebrities relocating is the kind of story that can keep developing β if there’s been a more recent statement from any of these people, it’s worth checking that directly rather than treating this list as final.
