In a new interview with The Times<\/a>, the Forest Gump star, who won a Golden Globe for her work in House of Cards, said she was happy to be safely across the pond because \u201cAmerica is a s–tshow.\u201d <\/p>\n

She explained, \u201cI love being in this country. There\u2019s a freedom of self here. People are so kind. They\u2019re living. They\u2019re not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That\u2019s most of America. Everything\u2019s rush, competition, and speed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The veteran TV host and comedian reportedly decided to stay out of the U.S. the day after the election results came in.

\u201cWe got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, \u2018He got in.\u2019\u201d DeGeneres, 67, told the BBC. \u201cAnd we\u2019re like, \u2018We\u2019re staying here.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In March, the mother of five told her fans on TikTok, \u201cIt\u2019s been heartbreaking to see what\u2019s happening politically and hard for me personally, as well. The personal is political, as we all know.\u201d She added, \u201cWhen it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that\u2019s when we will consider coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sophie Turner of Game of Thrones fame said she returned to her native U.K. after feeling homesick during her marriage to singer Joe Jonas. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe gun violence, Roe v. Wade being overturned… Everything just kind of piled on,\u201d she told Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/a>. \u201cAfter the Uvalde shooting, I knew it was time to get the f–k out of there.\u201d <\/p>\n
