It comes after Longoria - and a host of other left-wing celebs - came out to campaign for Democrat candidate Kamala Harris.
Harris was trounced by Trump last week - handing the presidency back to the Republican.
Her campaign lost the popular vote, the electoral college, the House and the Senate - despite spending nearly $1billion.
Texas-born Longoria had even spoken at the Democrat National Convention as she endorsed Harris, saying "yes she can".

Longoria has now given an interview to magazine in which she bemoaned she was done with Hollywood and "doesn't miss it".
She has been living outside of the US for some time before the election - despite coming back to campaign for Kamala.
And she will not be returning in the wake of Trump's victory, saying his America will be a "scary place".
Longoria said: "I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky.

"I’m privileged."

She complained: "It was like, ‘Does my vote really matter? Am I really making a difference?'
"I was so untethered to the core of what I believe because I truly believed in my soul that the best person wins.
"And then that happened, and I was like, ‘Oh, wait. The best person doesn’t win.'”
Longoria, her husband, José Bastón, and their son, Santiago, 6, now live between Mexico and Spain.

Celebs who vowed to leave US if Trump won
DONALD Trump's shock election victory is going to have upset many of the left-wing elite - and some Hollywood celebs have previously vowed to leave the country if he became President.
But after the Republican strongman's crushing triumph over Kamala Harris - is still not known whether will they move out for good or mourn their defeat hidden away in their multimillion-dollar mansions.
Here we take a look at some of the stars who made the bold promise: "If Donald Trump wins, I'm out".
Samuel L. Jackson
In December 2015, Samuel L. Jackson humorously suggested he might move to South Africa during a skit on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where the cast of The Hateful Eight sang about a “hateful eight ball.”
After Donald Trump’s election victory in November 2016, Jackson addressed the joke on Twitter, saying: “When you learn the difference between My Actual Opinion & A Kimmel Skit… Maybe we can talk. Till then, I’m Barbed Wire Up Your A**es!!”
Despite his outspoken criticism, Jackson has continued to live in the U.S.
Bryan Cranston
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston said in a late 2016 interview on The Bestseller Experiment podcast that he would “definitely move” to Vancouver, Canada, if Trump won the presidency.
But after Trump’s victory, Cranston walked back his statement on Twitter, expressing shock but also hope that the president-elect could unify the country.
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg, a vocal Trump critic, refused to say Trump’s name on The View after his 2016 election win.
She said: “He’s the president. I’m still not going to say his name—that’s not going to change.”
Before the election, Goldberg suggested she might leave the U.S., saying: “Maybe it’s time for me to move… I can afford to go.”
But she later clarified she had no plans to leave.
Cher
In 2015, Cher joked on X (formerly Twitter) that she would move to Jupiter if Trump became president.
Though she stayed in the U.S. after Trump’s 2016 victory, she told The Guardian in October 2023 that his presidency caused her significant stress, even leading to health issues.
The singer said: “I almost got an ulcer the last time. If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave.
Harris' star-studded campaign spluttered to a miserable result as they relied on A-list endorsements.
Experts have even said the result was so poor it may have even completely killed the idea of celebs weighing in on politics.
Politics commentator Alan Mendoza told The Sun that voters are starting to see the parading around of A-list stars as "offensive" and "ridiculous."
Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry all performed on stage at a Harris rally as fellow musicians Lil Jon and Cardi B also made appearances.
As Jennifer Lopez, Bruce Springsteen, and even a whole host of Avengers actors also pledged their unwavering support.
Mendoza, executive director for the think tank Henry Jackson Society, told The Sun that Americans may have ultimately become tired of being lectured by billionaires and the ultra-wealthy.
He said: "The idea that we're having Hollywood superstars or multi-billionaires telling us who should we vote for I think most ordinary people regard that as being actually offensive."
He says Kamala appeared to "drown" potential voters in the presence of famous faces due to the sheer number of A-listers at each rally.
