Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s wife Cheryl Hines, a well-known actress, has been noticeably absent from the cast of Larry David’s new HBO show celebrating America’s 250th birthday. The Daily Mail has learned exclusively that former First Lady Michelle Obama is being pointed to as the reason behind her absence.
Sources involved with the seven-episode comedy series, „Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America,” which debuted on June 26, revealed that Michelle Obama, serving as an executive producer on the show, demanded that Kennedy’s wife be excluded from the cast due to her staunch support for the MAGA movement. In fact, the mere possibility of Hines joining the show enraged Michelle, according to an insider.
Hines, who is 60 years old, reportedly committed a grave offense in Michelle’s eyes by shifting her political allegiance from the Democratic Party to form a friendship with President Donald Trump and his Republican allies. The show is being produced by Michelle and Barack Obama’s Higher Ground production company, with Barack making a guest appearance as well.
Hines had appeared on Larry David’s long-running show, „Curb Your Enthusiasm,” for over two decades until 2024. Therefore, her exclusion from his latest project left her devastated, as stated by an insider source. Michelle’s influence in banning Hines from the show was reportedly unyielding, regardless of any past connections with Larry.
For further context and fact check: Michelle and Barack Obama are executive producers of Larry David’s new show, „Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America.” Michelle Obama’s reported influence in banning Cheryl Hines from the cast due to her political views has stirred controversy.
