Friends say that actress Cheryl Hines is unrecognizable now that she’s “gone MAGA.”
Hines, who played Larry David’s wife on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” was once one of Hollywood’s most outspoken liberals.
But that changed, the Daily Mail reported, after her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was tapped by President Donald Trump to be head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Now that RFK Jr. is part of the Trump cabinet, Hines has “gone MAGA,” the Daily Mail said.
Sources said that the change in longtime Democrat Hines is “beyond comprehension.”
“It’s so hard to make sense in my head because she was so liberal before,” said a Tinseltown pal who has known Hines since they were in their 20s. “And now, she’s married to a member of the Trump administration and she’s literally defending his ridiculous s—t on ‘The View.’”
Kennedy has taken flack for his controversial stands on vaccines and other health issues.
A friend said: “We don’t talk politics. We can’t talk politics. If we do, it just goes south. It’s like she’s gone MAGA, or at least MAHA, which is just so…beyond comprehension to me.”
The friend said: “She went from ‘That side is bonkers’ to ‘Well, they have some good points’ and ‘MAGA people mean well, they’re not bad people.’ It makes me wonder if she was like this all along or if something has shifted in her ethics and morals.”
A member of the Curb Your Enthusiasm said that Hines’ politics are unrecognizable from when she joined the show in 1999.
“She was 100 percent a Democrat for as long as I worked with her, and proudly so,” they said. “Encouraging people to vote blue, standing up for women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, liberal politics. And now she’s completely on the other side.”
During an appearance on “The View” to hype her new memoir, Hines got into a scrum with hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar over RFK Jr.’s anti-vax beliefs.
Hines said, “Can we listen to parents who say, my child got the vaccine and changed and stopped hitting markers, stopped developing the way they were developing—can we listen to people when they say that?”
A source told the Daily Mail: “I watched that and I was like ‘who are you and what have you done to Cheryl?’”
The source said, “It was surreal to watch. I know she loves her husband, but it feels like she abandoned what she believed to be with him.”
