Hollywood Meltdown: Cheryl Hines Left Out in the Cold By Larry David After RFK Jr. Joins Trump Cabinet
When Hollywood Tolerance Ends: Cheryl Hines Breaks Her Silence
In a bombshell interview on Billy Bush’s podcast, Cheryl Hines finally gave her side of the story that has every honest American shaking their head. The 60-year-old actress, famed for her hilarious turn as “Cheryl David” on HBO’s smash hit, told Bush she “hasn’t spoken” to Larry David since the series’ curtain call in April 2024. After decades of comedic brilliance together, all it took was Hines’ marriage to a Trump administration insider for Hollywood’s royal family to give her the cold shoulder.
“I’m not sure what I expected, but, yeah, things have changed,” Hines confessed, adding that the real Hollywood blacklist is alive and well if you don’t play by far-left rules. And for Hines, landing in the crosshairs was inevitable: her husband isn’t just a Kennedy; he’s a key player in President Trump’s administration, standing up for common sense policies and American values. That, apparently, is unforgivable in Tinseltown.
“It’s not just Larry. You really find out fast who’s really in your corner,” Hines reflected, her voice scarcely hiding the pain. “Some people stop calling-not because of who I am, but because of who I married and what he stands for.”
This isn’t rumor-mongering. Hines herself admitted that the only time she even glimpsed David was at the premiere for the final season-with a handshake and a polite, practiced Hollywood smile. According to multiple reports, politics wrecked what once appeared to be one of showbiz’s closest friendships.
Media on Attack: The Liberal Machine Cannot Tolerate a Maverick
The icy treatment didn’t stop at red carpet indifference. When Hines appeared on ABC’s “The View” to promote her highly anticipated memoir, “Unscripted,” the liberal hosts barely asked about her book. Instead, they badgered her with tired talking points about her husband’s role in President Trump’s America First administration-a clear sign the Hollywood and mainstream media mob is gunning for anyone who won’t toe the narrative line.
As Hines explained to Bush, “They kept asking about my politics, about my husband, about the administration… Nobody seemed to care about the things I wanted to talk about. My work. My story.” She shrugged it off with signature grace, but make no mistake: for conservatives in Hollywood, there is no forgiveness-and no forgetting-if you so much as cross the aisle. Now, even in the rarefied air of Los Angeles’ elite, some doors slam shut if you dare to associate with patriots or with President Trump.
“The media frenzy isn’t surprising,” tweeted one user. “Hollywood loves diversity-until it comes to opinions. #TeamHines #FreeSpeech”
Larry David, meanwhile, has remained silent. The “Seinfeld” legend is well-known for his grating, vocal anti-Trump stances-firing off op-eds and lampooning flyover America whenever the mood strikes. Not once has he acknowledged the shift with Hines. That silence says it all: the left’s so-called champions of tolerance are first in line with the ice buckets when friends dare to disagree.
A House Divided: Hollywood Elitism Exposed in the Hines-David Fallout
The chilling treatment of Cheryl Hines by her former costar is just the tip of the iceberg. The ugliness started earlier, when Larry’s ex-wife-environmentalist activist Laurie David-launched a full-throated attack on Hines as well. During RFK Jr.’s Senate confirmation (where he earned bipartisan respect for his willingness to challenge the status quo), Laurie blasted Hines for “setting women back decades” simply for supporting her own husband. As The Daily Beast gleefully reported, the modern left now demands ideological loyalty tests even during family events.
Hines has stayed characteristically composed-even as she quietly admits losing “other friends” just for standing by her husband in the ultra-woke world she once called home. Political differences are nothing new, but the venom unleashed by Hollywood liberals shocks decent Americans coast to coast. Remember: this is the same entertainment cabal that spent years painting themselves as defenders of tolerance and free speech. Evidently, those rights are reserved for their kind only.
One conservative fan on X (formerly Twitter) summed it up perfectly: “Hines has more guts than any of these so-called comedians. Standing by her husband, not groveling for the mob. Real American values. Stay strong, Cheryl!”
Despite the Hollywood hit jobs, Hines stays focused on her own journey and the memoir that, for once, tells the real story. She’s gone from sitcom star to target of Tinseltown’s cancel culture-only this time, she’s not backing down and she’s not apologizing for defending her family or standing for the conservative resurgence. Although her old friend Larry is nowhere to be found, millions of Americans now see Hines for what she truly is: principled, patriotic, and unafraid to chart her own course in hostile territory.
America Watching: Elections Loom and Hollywood’s Mask Slips
This isn’t just about two comedians in a spat-it’s America in microcosm. Liberal Hollywood elites wage personal and professional warfare on anyone who aligns with President Trump or, heaven forbid, holds a conservative worldview. With the 2026 midterms already heating up and President Trump’s administration continuing to prioritize real Americans, blue state celebrities seem more rabid than ever.
Let’s be clear: Cheryl Hines is hardly the first to be ostracized for rocking a red hat. The difference is, she’s calling out the hypocrisy and refusing to give in. As more seasoned Hollywood figures get “iced out” for conservative ties, America is noticing the widening gulf between so-called tolerant liberals and the patriots who built this country.
Recent polling shows nearly half of likely voters now distrust mainstream entertainment media, blaming “political overreach.” Meanwhile, RFK Jr. remains a respected figure in President Trump’s cabinet, unfazed by coastal sneers. Hines, too, is turning adversity into strength: “I’ll keep standing up for what I believe is right-no matter who gives me the cold shoulder.”
The left can try their tired tactics-bullying, publicly shaming, and freezing out those who don’t fall in line-but Americans know better. Hines’s story is proof that standing up for your principles in today’s Hollywood comes with a cost, but the real prize is a clear conscience and a message that reaches Middle America. With midterms looming and the culture war raging, one thing’s for sure: Hollywood’s mask of “tolerance” slipped a long time ago-and Cheryl Hines just let America see it for what it really is.
Will more stars follow Hines’ example and fight back against the Hollywood mob-or keep ducking for cover as politics poisons even the closest friendships? Come election night 2026, American voters will have the real answer.
