RFK Jr.'s Drastic Offer To Wife Cheryl Hines To Protect Her From Public Backlash

Writer Emma Terry

For the most part, Cheryl Hines, who is most well-known for playing the wife (and later, ex-wife) of Larry David in "Curb Your Enthusiasm," has opted for a vaguely neutral approach to her husband's political career, choosing instead to focus on her own professional acting and entrepreneurial endeavors. However, Hines called Robert Kennedy Jr.'s rally remarks 'reprehensible' following his insensitive Holocaust comparison. 

"My husband's opinions are not a reflection of my own. While we love each other, we differ on many current issues," Hines tweeted in an initial statement. The next day, she followed up with a second tweet: "My husband's reference to Anne Frank at a mandate rally in D.C. was reprehensible and insensitive. The atrocities that millions endured during the Holocaust should never be compared to anyone or anything." 

Kennedy's initial idea to separate was to help further distance his divisive political statements from the reputation of his comedic actress wife. Still, he isn't the only one worried about the other's safety. Despite publicly disagreeing with his commentary, Hines shared that she found RFK Jr's request for Secret Service security being denied to be a huge shock given his family's tragic history, per TMZ.
