Courtney Love says she's fleeing Trump's America

Rock star Courtney Love counts herself among the growing number of stars fleeing the U.S. to live abroad because of President Donald Trump’s return to power.

The “Doll Parts” singer told audience members at the Royal Geographical Society in London she plans to have British citizenship in six months, according to numerous social and traditional media reports.

“I’m really glad I’m here,” she reportedly said. “It’s so great to live here.”

Love called Trump’s return to the White House “frightening” and likened the new culture in Washington, D.C., to poison.

Comedian Rosie O’Donnell posted video to TikTok last week telling fans she and her child are living in Ireland until it’s “safe” to return to the U.S. Comic Ellen Degeneres and her actor wife Portia de Rossi relocated to the United Kingdom after the 47th president was elected.

Singers Cher and Barbra Streisand have spoken about fleeing the country because of Trump, but don’t appear to have done so.

 

Trump, himself a former reality TV star, hasn’t expressed sadness over the celebrities he’s driven out of the country. He praised a MAGA reporter who asked Irish leader Micheál Martin why his country welcomed O’Donnell during an Oval Office press event last week.

“You’re better off not knowing her,” Trump told his Irish counterpart.

How to Academy, which sponsored the event earlier this month where Love reportedly announced her relocation, couldn’t be reached for comment. Video posted online shows the 60-year-old singer performing Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” at that gathering.

Love told the Soho House lifestyle blog in 2022 she had a home in London. It’s not clear if that’s her current residence. She also told concertgoers in London last year that she’d been “living in a cave in Birmingham” for nearly a decade.

The former Hole singer, whose rock star husband Kurt Cobain shot himself in the couple’s Washington state property in 1994, told the blog one of the things she most likes about London is its lack of guns.
