Cheryl Hines Unloads On ‘The View’ Hosts: They ‘Just Wanted to Grill Me’ On RFK Jr.

Cheryl Hines is calling out the hosts of “The View” for using her entire time on the show to ask about her husband, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., rather than to discuss her life or ask about her book.

The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress shared her thoughts during a Tuesday episode of Billy Bush’s “Hot Mics” podcast.

“Were they what you expected? The women of ‘The View?’” Bush asked Hines, prompting her to say, “Mhmm” with tight smile.

“You know, I was actually hoping that it was going to be more personal on ‘The View,’ but it was what it was. They just wanted to grill me about Bobby,” Hines continued. “I mean, I don’t think the ladies on ‘The View’ asked me one question about my book. But, you know, that’s OK.”

Hines had initially joined the host of “The View” to promote her memoir, “Cheryl Hines Unscripted,” but host Sunny Hostin used the time to criticize comments RFK Jr. made and policies he promoted.

“Respectfully, your husband is the least qualified Department of Health and Human Services head that we’ve had in history. I think that’s very, very dangerous,” Hostin opened with. 

“Why is he less qualified than an economist? How is that possible?” Hines replied, referencing former President Barack Obama’s choice for the position, economist Sylvia Burwell.

“I think he is less qualified,” Hostin insisted, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

“He has spent his career studying toxins, studying people’s health, fighting for one guy who was using Roundup for his job,” Hines defended her husband.

“He has also spread a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion. And I think it’s just a very dangerous thing,” Hostin said before claiming, “I say it with the utmost respect.”

“Some of it’s good and some of it is not. That’s the point,” Joy Behar interrupted.

“Listen, we all have different views here. Yes. And when you say misinformation, disinformation, we could go back to COVID when —” Hines said.

“He’s connecting circumcision to autism,” Hostin interrupted.

“May I finish?” Hines asked.

“Please,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg chimed in.

“When people, Fauci, people were saying when you get the vaccine, you cannot transmit COVID, it will stop COVID. And that was disinformation, misinformation,” Hines reminded the panelists.

At the end of the interview, Goldberg said it was important to have guests with different viewpoints and invited Hines to come back. 

“We don’t often get people on this show who we can ask these questions to, and I appreciate that you came on,” Goldberg said. “Because you know what, if we can have the discussion back and forth, it then becomes people’s — then they can decide what they believe, and they don’t just hear one side.”
