Sports Illustrated model explains why she's leaving California

SI model, Kristen Louelle Gaffney, blasts California homeless crisis for move to Nashville (nypost.com)  


"Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kristen Louelle Gaffney is fed up with California — and she’s leaving.
"Gaffney, 34, blasted California’s homeless and drug crises as a reason she and her 2-time Super Bowl champion husband, Tyler Gaffney, took their three kids and fled to Nashville, Tennessee.

"Gaffney, a San Diego native, told Fox News she was fed up with policies created by President Biden, Gov. Gavin Newsom and city governments that have fueled the problems.

"The more we claim, and I use the word claim very strongly, that we’re helping these people, it seems like the situation is getting worse,” Gaffney said.

" 'A lot of people come to LA thinking this is the land of my dreams, this is the land of opportunity, this is where I can create something and make a name for myself,” Gaffney said. “LA homelessness…there’s nothing like it. I’ve been on the East Coast, I’ve been on the West Coast, I’ve been in the Bay Area.”

"“This is the dirtiest I’ve seen our cities,” she said.

"Gaffney says she has contributed plenty with her taxes and was offended over politicians asking for more.

" 'You’ve taken enough from us, and you’re only showing me that it’s getting worse,” she told the outlet.

"The move was blamed specifically on the homeless crisis fueled by an increase in the cost of living, which has created an unsafe, living environment for Gaffney to raise her young children." . . .

Candace Cameron Bure explains why her family left LA (msn.com) "Candace Cameron Bure is the latest celebrity to migrate out of Hollywood. After fans speculated whether she moved, she confirmed such in an Instagram Story. "Many of you have asked, 'Did you move?' Yes," the Full House alum, noted in her Instagram Story on Saturday. "'Why?' Mostly for security reasons. Also, family dynamics have changed. The kids don't live in Los Angeles anymore. Mama will go where they go! I travel a lot. The seasons of life."

"Her move comes nearly a year after her daughter, Natasha Bure, left California for Texas in August 2023. She explained her decision to leave Tinseltown in a YouTube video, explaining she desired to explore outside of her "little bubble" and venture into new experiences." . . .
