"I don't want people having feelings about my friends being friends with me. You know what I mean? I don't want to bring anything bad into someone else's life."
"People hate me so much, they are starting to hate you and I feel really bad about it and I don't want that for you, Hines recalled her husband saying."
"He's very, very smart, he's a great leader and he's a graceful person, she said."
Cheryl Hines has experienced strained relationships since Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 2023 presidential run and August 2024 suspension to endorse Donald Trump. Kennedy accepted the role of Health and Human Services secretary, drawing criticism for views on medicine and vaccines considered outside the mainstream. Several Hollywood friends, including former podcast partner Tig Notaro, distanced themselves, citing Kennedy's MAGA ties. Hines described feeling surprised and hurt by the reaction but understood the connection and expressed reluctance to bring negativity into others' lives. Hines affirmed family loyalty and continued to view Kennedy as intelligent, a capable leader and graceful person. A KFF poll found 59% disapprove of his performance.
