Overview
- On Billy Bush’s Hot Mics podcast, Hines said the Oct. 14 segment on The View “just wanted to grill me” about her husband and did not ask a single question about her book.
- The View exchange grew tense as Sunny Hostin called RFK Jr. the least qualified HHS head and accused him of spreading misinformation, prompting Hines to interject, “May I finish?” while defending his background.
- Despite Hines’ frustration, her representative told Entertainment Weekly the appearance was respectful and still considered a success focused largely on RFK Jr.
- Hines has described personal fallout from her marriage and politics, saying she has lost friends and acknowledging possible career effects tied to Kennedy’s role.
- She also recounted her first meeting with President Donald Trump as “warm” and “genuine,” while continuing to promote Unscripted ahead of its Nov. 11 release.
