Cheryl Hines has hit back at former President John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, after Schlossberg asked her to call up the family of a child who died of measles.
The actress and wife of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Schlossberg’s polarizing cousin, told the Wall Street Journal that she “[doesn’t] understand what’s going on with him.”
“[Schlossberg’s] behavior—I don’t even want to say anything, because anything I say, he’s going to think, he’s going to be … excited that someone’s talking about him,” she said.
Hines’ comments come five months after Schlossberg put the onus on her to speak out about the rising incidence of measles, a deadly but preventable disease. RFK Jr. is a prominent vaccine skeptic who has promoted the debunked claim that vaccines cause autism.
In an Instagram post on March 6 (which he has since deleted), Schlossberg said that he wanted to ask the Curb Your Enthusiasm star for a “favor.”
“I need you to call up the family of the child who died of measles, and say sorry,” he said. “Can you do that for me?”
Schlossberg seemed to be referring to a 6-year-old girl in Texas who died from measles in February, marking the first U.S. death from measles since 2015. The girl was unvaccinated.
RFK Jr. initially dismissed the measles outbreak in Texas as “not unusual” before backtracking in a Fox News editorial.
The 32-year-old Schlossberg, who is the only grandson of the 35th president, has fervently criticized RFK Jr.’s vaccine skepticism dating back to last year.
In recent months, he’s also taken to social media multiple times to call out Hines, who married RFK Jr. in 2014 at the famous Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
Hines met RFK Jr. through the comedian Larry David, who cast her as his wife in her most well-known role.
Last month, Schlossberg tweeted that Hines looked “super dehydrated” and said that he had never met her.
Then, last week, Schlossberg re-posted an anniversary message RFK Jr. made for Hines—one that had people scratching their heads over its bizarre caption—and wondered, “What does she let you do on your bday?”
Hines had not publicly responded to Schlossberg’s barbs prior to the Journal interview, in which she said that she feels “very connected” to the Make America Healthy Again movement that RFK Jr. has championed.
“Is science ever settled?” Hines said. “It’s like any drug that goes on the market that at the beginning everybody thinks is great, and then 10 years later, they realize it’s causing some sort of issue. Well, there was probably settled science at the beginning.”
In June, RFK Jr. sacked all of the former members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a vaccine advisory panel. He’s also cut $500 million in research funding for mRNA vaccines, citing unproven safety concerns.
The organization he led from 2015 to 2023, Children’s Health Defense, has falsely claimed that vaccines cause autism.
In March, the organization shared a video in which the parents of the Texas girl who died of measles said they had had no regrets about not vaccinating their daughter.
“It was her time on Earth,” the parents said through a translator.
This week, RFK Jr. has faced intense blowback for his tepid response to a shooting that took place at the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, on Friday.
Authorities say that the alleged shooter believed that the COVID-19 vaccine had made him depressed and suicidal.
The post MAHA Wife Cheryl Hines Can Barely Contain Her Anger at JFK’s Grandson Over Anti-Vax Criticism appeared first on The Daily Beast.
I thought she didn’t like her husband’s beliefs on vaccines?
Why did she even respond? He is a TikTok troll. That’s all he’s done with his immense privilege. She should pity him - but ignore him and deny him the sick satisfaction.
He’s Trailer Park Trash with money.................

So FOREIGNERS didn’t vaccinate their kid. When did the democrats demand that all these illegals take the shots?
Who knew Jackie and JFK would have a retarded daughter, passing on those genes to the next generation ...
Cheryl Hines has a book coming out soon — September, I think. I might want to read it. I’m impressed that she’s standing by her husband in such difficult circumstances.
There's a long list of Kennedy's/relatives that are trash, drunks, rapists, drug addicts, killers....
Pretty brave of DNYUZ to say a particular anti-vax thory has been “debunked” without identifying who wrote this trash.
Real brave DNYUZ.
I’ll bet there’s never been a happy family around the table on Thanksgiving at Hyannisport - these people are constantly at one another.
It’s good that she came around to support RFKJ’s role in the Trump administation; I suspect if she had made it a “the job or me” deal, RFKJ would be a batchelor today.
Yep, using a person’s death for the sake of hits and likes.....a sad commentary on this boy
and society in general.
Just think of this...
when Caroline dies, young Schlossberg will probably be put in charge of those annual “profiles in courage” awards
now those awards go to the obedient leftists who toe the leftist line. Under this Schlossberg troll who knows who would be given the awards
way to destroy the Kennedy legacy
“measles, a deadly but preventable disease”
When I was a kid, there was no vaccine, we all got measles and survived with immunity. The same went for the other childhood diseases like mumps and chickenpox, etc. A few unlucky kids died. C’est la vie. The real threat was polio, and thank God the Salk vaccine came along. But measles was not regarded as deadly to children.
Jack is an a hole. when someone shows you what they are, believe them.
I had measles and chicken pox and lived to tell the tale..............
Exactly. Stop feeding those Lower IQ Kennedy Trolls!
This attention only provides him with a fresh wave of validation.
Most of the media have stopped reporting every goofy thing he posts online. Who has the time for this unceasing font of nonsense and toxic bilgewater?
File him under Britney Spears category, where the subject is caught in an endless Doom loop, repeating themselves w/o progressing.
The difference is that back then nobody was trying to use diseases to create political hysteria, and scaring women into believing kids will all die from a bad cold, not to mention measles or mumps.
“Pretty brave of DNYUZ to say a particular anti-vax theory has been “debunked” without identifying who wrote this trash.
Real brave DNYUZ”
Yep, trash “journalism”
there is something wrong with him. maybe he is bipolar. he has two sisters that can take over running things
Young rich people problems.
