Video of Trump allegedly ‘snubbing’ actress Cheryl Hines spreads like wildfire but doesn’t show full picture
Videos of President Donald Trump appearing to snub actress Cheryl Hines, who is married to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., at a UFC match on Saturday evening have been causing a stir on social media. However, the full story reveals that the initial reports may have been misleading.
Former senior RFK Jr. advisor Link Lauren took to X to clarify the situation, sharing a photo of Trump chatting with both Kennedy and Hines during the UFC match. Despite initial appearances, it seems that Trump did not intentionally ignore greeting Hines. In fact, footage and screenshots shared by X users show Trump circling back to speak with both Kennedy and Hines after initially greeting others in attendance.
Hines’ publicist Ann Gurrola confirmed that Hines did not attend the event and could not comment on the situation. However, based on reports, it appears that Trump did indeed shake Hines’ hand and any perceived snub may have simply been an oversight. An administration official also stated that the president did not snub Hines.
The video of the exchange has garnered significant attention, with many social media users speculating about Trump’s interactions with Hines. Some users jokingly referenced Hines’ role on the show “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” while others expressed surprise at the initial reports of a snub.
Despite Hines’ previous criticism of Trump and his rhetoric, she has attended a few Trump-related events at Mar-a-Lago and the White House since her husband endorsed Trump and became his HHS chief. It seems that the interaction at the UFC match may have been blown out of proportion, as Trump did ultimately greet both Kennedy and Hines.
Overall, while initial reports may have suggested a snub, further investigation and footage have shown that Trump did not intentionally ignore Cheryl Hines at the UFC match. The situation serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information before jumping to conclusions based on social media posts.
