Tue Feb 04 11:50:00 IST 2025: ## Larry David’s Ex-Wife Slams Cheryl Hines for Supporting RFK Jr.
**New York, NY** – Laurie David, ex-wife of comedian Larry David, has publicly criticized actress Cheryl Hines for her continued support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. amid his controversial Senate confirmation hearing. David, in a post on Threads, accused Hines of “setting women back decades” by standing by her husband during the hearing, where Kennedy expressed agreement with President Trump’s stance on abortion.
Kennedy, a polarizing figure, stated during his testimony that he believes every abortion is a tragedy and that reproductive rights should be determined at the state level. This aligns with the Trump administration’s policies which culminated in the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Hines, known for her role as Larry David’s long-suffering wife on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” has remained publicly supportive of Kennedy despite past controversies, including allegations of a sexually charged texting relationship with a political reporter last year (allegations his representative denied). She also backed his short-lived 2024 presidential campaign.
While Hines’ representative declined to comment, Laurie David’s statement implies disapproval of Hines’ seemingly unwavering support for her husband’s political views, regardless of their potential impact on women’s rights. Hines previously indicated on social media that she and Kennedy sometimes hold differing political opinions, but her actions at the hearing appear to contradict this statement. The irony of Hines’ character on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” divorcing her TV husband is not lost on observers given this real-life situation.
