Tig Notaro Details Estrangement From Cheryl Hines, Citing RFK Jr.'s Politics

She recounts a four-hour talk where Hines urged a meeting with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Overview

  • Notaro said she “never heard from her again” after RFK Jr. launched his campaign and after she stepped away from their joint podcast, aside from courteous replies to her check-ins.
  • The comedians previously cohosted Tig & Cheryl: True Story, which Notaro said she left as she chose to distance herself from RFK Jr.’s political orbit.
  • Notaro described declining an invitation to sit down with RFK Jr. following a lengthy conversation with Hines about his positions.
  • She said she kept sending supportive messages and remained open to staying friendly, but Hines’ responses did not reestablish the relationship.
  • Coverage notes RFK Jr. launched a 2023 presidential bid, endorsed President Donald Trump in August 2024, and now serves as HHS secretary; Fox News said Hines’ rep did not respond to a request for comment and highlighted her recent remarks to The Times of London about Hollywood’s reaction to her marriage.
