Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/a> star Cheryl Hines has suggested that \u201cpolitics\u201d are the reason she and Larry David<\/a> no longer speak to one another.<\/p>\n

Hines, 60, played the wife of David\u2019s semi-autobiographical character on the acclaimed HBO sitcom, and is married in real life to controversial US politician Robert F Kennedy Jr<\/a> (also known as RFK Jr).<\/p>\n

David, who created the series, is a left-leaning figure who has in recent years supported the Democratic Party, while RFK, a member of the Kennedy family, currently serves as US secretary of health and human services under the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on the Hot Mics podcast, Hines admitted that she and David have \u201cprobably\u201d not spoken since the 2024 series finale of Curb.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t talked to him in a while,\u201d she said, while adding of David: \u201cI love Larry, and I think Larry loves me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s just politics,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt makes conversations\u2013\u201d <\/p>\n

At this point, Hines was interrupted by podcast host Billy Bush, who said: \u201c\u201cLet\u2019s not forget this is the man who wrote a New York Times article called \u2018Dinner with Hitler\u2019\u2026 he was criticising Bill Maher. You can\u2019t take it personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The piece in question<\/a> (\u201cMy Dinner with Adolf\u201d) was written by David, and alluded to a meeting between talk show host Bill Maher and US president Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Hines was a regular actor on Curb throughout most of the show\u2019s run, portraying David\u2019s long-suffering wife (and, eventually, ex-wife) Cheryl. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the podcast, Hines voiced complaints with an interview she had recently conducted with the US talk show The View, to promote her new memoir, Unscripted.<\/p>\n

Hines appeared on the ABC talk show<\/a> earlier this month, but said that the hosts \u201cjust wanted to grill me\u201d about her husband.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I was actually hoping that it was going to be more personal on The View,” Hines said. “But it was what it was. They just wanted to grill me about Bobby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I don\u2019t think the ladies on The View asked me one question about my book,” she said. “But, you know, that\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the interview, Hines admitted that she had \u201cnot been a political person\u201d in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture emailGet the latest entertainment news…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267070,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[88,92],"class_list":{"0":"post-267069","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
