Cheryl Hines appeared on the Oct. 30 episode of the Juicy Scoop podcast, where host Heather McDonald asked her about her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr's alleged sexting affair
Former New York magazine journalist Olivia Nuzzi alleged that she began a "personal" relationship with RFK Jr. while writing a profile about him during his 2024 presidential campaign
The Health and Human Services secretary said he met Nuzzi "once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece"
Cheryl Hines is looking back on how she felt when she first read headlines about husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s alleged affair with reporter Olivia Nuzzi.
Hines, 60, appeared on the Thursday, Oct. 30, episode of Heather McDonald's Juicy Scoop podcast, where the host asked her about the relationship between Kennedy, 71, and the former New York magazine journalist, 32.
Nuzzi, who previously worked as the magazine's Washington correspondent, profiled Kennedy during his 2024 presidential campaign and alleged that their relationship turned "personal." However, a rep for the Health and Human Services secretary later released a statement claiming he "only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece."
Nuzzi was placed on leave by the magazine in September 2024. While speaking with McDonald, Hines recalled that the scandal broke when her husband was a year and a half into his presidential campaign.
"He had endorsed Donald Trump and people were going crazy already, so there were already so many stories, so many headlines that were just — you learn to not even pay attention to them," she recalled. "But that one, I was in Italy with my girls and this story breaks and I'm like, 'I can't. I can't hear one more, this is too much.' Just felt like too much."
"It's such a circus, running for president, such a circus ... 'You all sound crazy,' that's how it felt," she continued. "And I stayed with my daughters, and we had a good time. When I got back, I [sat] down with Bobby. Like, 'Tell me everything, what is going on?' Then we got to the truth of what was going on. And then that felt like, 'Oh, Okay. Okay.' "
When McDonald asked Hines what she thinks the truth of the scandal is, Hines replied, "I don't know this person. That's a question for somebody else, you know?"
"But everything about it was a lot of, like you were saying, even to try to get to the bottom of it, it just turns into a strange rabbit hole of 'This thing happened, this person says this thing,' and it gets exhausting and I'm just like, I can't," she said. "I'm not interested."

The Curb Your Enthusiasm star made her first public remarks about the scandal about a year after it first broke.
"I don't think there's any point to going through every rumor and headline to try to defend or explain it," the actress told The Wall Street Journal. "Bobby and I talk about everything, so that's how we move through everything, and we're really good friends, and we trust each other."
Hines also said her memoir, Unscripted, depicts her relationship with her husband in a positive light.
"One would deduce that we love each other and are still married and whatever we've been through is behind us," she said.
