George Lopez Drops Bombshell: Leaving U.S. and Stepping Away From TV

“I can’t live here for the next four years,” Lopez stated, hinting at frustrations with the country’s direction. Though he didn’t name names, many suspect the recent election played a key role in his decision.

Lopez, whose iconic sitcom and stand-up career made him a household name, has always been vocal about his beliefs. But this time, he’s taking action. “I need to prioritize my well-being,” he explained in a heartfelt social media post.

The news has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, with peers like Gabriel Iglesias expressing sadness over losing his friend’s influential voice. Some critics dismiss it as a celebrity tantrum, while others see it as a bold stand.

With his final comedy special, Muy Católico, due next month, fans wonder: Is this goodbye for good? And what happens to his TV projects? One thing’s clear—Lopez’s exit underscores a larger conversation about artists, politics, and where they choose to call home.
