Model Kristen Louelle Gaffney, 34, says she’s had enough of California and is leaving.

Gaffney criticized the homelessness and drug crises in California as reasons why she and her husband, Super Bowl champion Tyler, took their three children and fled to Nashville, Tennessee.

The move was specifically attributed to the homelessness crisis fueled by a rise in living costs, which created an unsafe environment for Gaffney to raise her young children.

Gaffney, a native of San Diego, expressed in a Fox News interview her frustration with policies created by President Biden, Governor Gavin Newsom, and local governments that have exacerbated the issues.

“The more we claim, and I use the word claim very strongly, that we are helping these people, it seems the situation is only getting worse,” said Gaffney.

Gaffney says she has contributed significantly through taxes and felt offended by politicians asking for more.

“Why should anyone have a piece of my hard work?” she questioned, referring to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who implored wealthy residents to pay for housing for the homeless.

The LA4LA campaign was announced by Bass during her speech earlier this week. The mayor claimed that the homelessness crisis was driving away businesses and customers, costing city taxpayers for resources, and creating safety issues.

The Gaffneys join a growing list of celebrities who are moving out of California.

Actor Scott Baio traded his $4 million California mansion to live in Florida for the same reasons as the Gaffneys.

Sylvester Stallone and his wife Jennifer Flavin announced their move to Florida in February, but did not cite crime as the reason.
