"Cheryl Hines, the actress best known for her role as Larry David's wife on HBO's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' has emerged as the unlikely defender of her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in the face of growing familial and public criticism.
In a series of candid interviews, Hines has spoken out against the Kennedy clan, calling their criticism of her husband 'disappointing' and breaking with the family's tradition of private loyalty. 'I don't think I'll ever get used to being a political spouse. A Cabinet spouse,' she told CBS News' Natalie Morales in a recent interview.
Hines' comments come as her husband's political profile continues to rise, despite his increasingly divisive views on vaccines and other issues. The actress has also spoken publicly about her fears for her husband's safety, citing the hostile environment he has faced as a result of his presidential campaign in 2023.
While Hines' new role as a vocal defender of her husband may be uncharted territory for her, she has shown a willingness to speak out against those who have criticized her husband. As one of the most high-profile couples in American politics, the Kennedys' marriage is under intense scrutiny, and Hines' words have sparked a national conversation about the challenges faced by spouses of public figures.
As Hines continues to navigate this new role, one thing is clear: she will not be silenced. 'We trust each other,' she said in a statement about her marriage to Kennedy. But in a world where public opinion can be brutal, that trust is being tested like never before.",
