Comedian Tig Notaro<\/a> said Tuesday that she had to \u201cstep away\u201d from her friendship with actress Cheryl Hines because of Hines\u2019 husband,\u00a0Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/a>, and his political views.<\/p>\n

Notaro discussed her past friendship and collaborations with the \u201cCurb Your Enthusiasm\u201d actress on the podcast \u201cBreaking Bread With Tom Papa<\/a>.\u201d The two had previously co-hosted the podcast \u201cTig and Cheryl: True Story,\u201d where they discussed recent documentaries they watched.<\/p>\n

Notaro called Hines one of her \u201cfavorite friends to be ridiculous with\u201d but said that she had felt compelled to end things with her once Kennedy\u2019s presidential campaign began.<\/p>\n

\u201cCheryl\u2019s married to Bobby Kennedy Jr. When he was announcing his run, I just felt like I needed to step away, because there are beliefs that were like a gnat on the arm years ago that were getting further into the spotlight,\u201d Notaro said.<\/p>\n

Notaro noted her friendship with Hines began before Hines married Kennedy <\/a>in 2014, but Kennedy\u2019s later endorsement of then-candidate Donald Trump made things more difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was in environmental law. And, again, other beliefs he had were like a gnat on my arm. But then it started to grow, and Cheryl wanted me to hear Bobby out. They had these good ideas, and I was like, \u2018I can\u2019t, I can\u2019t, I can\u2019t.\u2019 I just didn\u2019t trust it. And then he endorsed Trump<\/a>, and then it just got hard,\u201d Notaro said.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital\u00a0reached out to representatives for Notaro for additional comment. A representative for Hines declined to comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things that I\u2019ve learned, especially about politics, is you\u2019re not going to agree with somebody about everything, and it\u2019s OK,\u201d Hines said. FilmMagic<\/p>\n

Hines largely avoided discussing politics during her husband\u2019s presidential campaign. In an interview with Fox News Digital in 2024, she discussed how she approaches political issues or\u00a0disagreements with her husband.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things that I\u2019ve learned, especially about politics, is you\u2019re not going to agree with somebody about everything, and it\u2019s OK,\u201d Hines said.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cWe\u2019ve learned to talk through it. Talk it out. Listen to each other. Sometimes, agree to disagree or say, \u2018Oh, I\u2019m going to think about that, and I hear what you\u2019re saying,\u2019 or \u2018I don\u2019t like the way you\u2019re saying it. I wish you\u2019d say it in a different way.’\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Comedian Tig Notaro said Tuesday that she had to \u201cstep away\u201d from her friendship with actress Cheryl Hines…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,13904,12888,23079,75,7607,3436],"class_list":["post-220882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-friendships","tag-cheryl-hines","tag-comedians","tag-entertainment","tag-media","tag-robert-f-kennedy-jr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
