Cheryl Hines Discusses Intense Interview on ‘The View’
Cheryl Hines made headlines following her recent appearance on “The View,” where she expected to discuss her memoir, “Unscripted.” Instead, the conversation shifted primarily to her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and his controversial views.

During her visit earlier this month, Hines faced intense questioning from the show’s hosts. She noted that the panel focused on her husband rather than her book. Hines shared her observations on Billy Bush’s podcast, “Hot Mics,” stating, “I don’t think the ladies on ‘The View’ asked me one question about my book.”
Accusations Against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Co-host Sunny Hostin directed criticism towards Kennedy, labeling him as a spreader of “misinformation” during his tenure in the Trump administration. She went further, calling him the “least qualified” Secretary of Health and Human Services in history. Hines defended her husband amid the accusations, stating, “We all have different views here.”
Hostin challenged Kennedy’s assertions by bringing up his claim about connecting circumcision to autism. Hines urged Hostin to let her finish speaking, emphasizing the importance of dialogue.
Humor Amid Controversy
Joy Behar, another co-host, raised a peculiar claim made by Kennedy—that doctors had discovered a dead worm in his brain. Hines, responding with humor, remarked, “It ate just a little bit of his brain and died, so don’t worry!”
Impact on Personal Relationships
Hines’ marriage to Kennedy has impacted her relationships in Hollywood. Comedian Tig Notaro, previously a close friend, revealed her reasons for distancing from Hines. During a recent podcast, Notaro expressed that she felt compelled to step back once Kennedy began his political campaign. She explained that certain beliefs held by him became increasingly prominent and difficult to ignore.
