Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s actress wife Cheryl Hines is facing criticism online after she posted a video of herself bathing partially naked with her husband in the couple’s bathroom while filming a video for their beauty line Was. RFK Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for the Department of Health and Human Services, appeared oblivious as the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star tried to plug his Hines & Young line, which he founded with daughter Kathryn. Although the post was a promotional strategy, it backfired as social media users called him out for the ‘serious video’.
Captioning her post on Instagram as “H+Y content interruption,” Ms. Hines said, “You (RFK Jr.) can’t take a shower, I’m making a video! No, no, no, I’m a Making a video…You have to give me a second, I’m making a video for Hines+Young…60% off.”
She added “Oh Bobby” as the caption, followed by heart and smiley face emojis.
In a follow-up post, Ms. Hines also included a still photo of products from her line, including a MAHA candle, apparently referencing her husband’s “Make America Healthy Again” campaign.

social media reacts
The video and Ms Hines’ attempt to promote her brand at the expense of RFK Jr. did not sit well with social media users, who called the actress a ‘grifter’.
One user said: “This is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen…all respect for Cheryl Hines is gone,” while another said: “Sucks. So sucks. Maybe your husband Don’t follow them into the bathroom while they’re bathing.” To do a commercial, if you’re going to complain about him taking a shower in the bathroom while doing a commercial.”
A third commented: “Jesus, gotta give them credit, they’re the most persistent grifters in history.”

While most criticized the video, some said it was an attempt by Ms. Hines to show that the couple was as strong as ever, after it was revealed that RFK Jr. had a “digital affair” with journalist Olivia Nuzzi. The pair reportedly began communicating after the publication of Nuzzi’s profile on Kennedy. New York Magazine. The publication and Ms Nuzzi have since parted ways.
