How Cheryl Hines overcame 'pain' of husband RFK Jr.'s sexting scandal
Share and Follow

Cheryl Hines has subtly addressed her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sexting controversy in her latest memoir, “Unscripted.” The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star, now 60, shared that while she was vacationing in Italy, her husband reached out to “warn me of another breaking story.”

The story in question was described as “ambiguous” and involved a “political journalist” who claimed to have had personal communications with a former reporting subject, though it was “never physical.” This story was widely speculated to involve Kennedy, and indeed, the rumors were confirmed.

In an exclusive report last year, Page Six revealed that Olivia Nuzzi, a former New York magazine journalist aged 32, had engaged in a nearly year-long online relationship with the 71-year-old Secretary of Health and Human Services.

According to an insider, the pair expressed their love for each other during phone conversations and had “incredible” virtual encounters via FaceTime.

A source told us that the two told each other they loved each other (over the phone) every time they talked and had “incredible” sex over FaceTime.

A Kennedy spokesperson said that he “only met Olivia Nuzzi once in his life for an interview she requested, which yielded a hit piece.”

Hines wrote that the unsavory headlines were “leaving me with the feeling of being unimportant to him…It was the end of the line for me.”

She continued to stay on in Europe, and when she returned home, Kennedy was eager to talk, although she “felt so distant from him.”

The Emmy nominee shared that for the next few days, she and Kennedy “stopped everything and drilled down on the truth.”

“We talked about all of the painful times we’d been through in the last few years and what we meant to each other,” and eventually they “tightened” their bond.

She discredited Nuzzi in a recent podcast.

“I think you always have to consider the source, right?” the actress quipped. “So that’s where I start. And then it ends with a conversation with Bobby.”

Hines married Kennedy in 2014. It is her second marriage and his third. His second wife, Mary Richardson, died by suicide two years after he filed for divorce. She had accused him of being a “sexual deviant” during their contentious divorce proceedings.

The political scion and former heroin addict, who ran for President before dropping out, has been a controversial figure for his anti-vaccine beliefs.

Page Six exclusively reported that Nuzzi is working on a book that will include the sexually charged text messages between her and Kennedy.
