Inside Tig Notaro's ‘Very Strange’ Friendship Falling Out With Cheryl Hines
Tig Notaro attributes the end of her friendship with Cheryl Hines to Hines's adoption of MAGA views influenced by her husband, leading Notaro to leave their podcast in May 2023.
- On Monday, March 9, comedian Tig Notaro discussed the "upsetting" end of her longtime friendship with actress Cheryl Hines during an interview on "The Best People" podcast.
- Notaro left their co-hosted podcast "Tig and Cheryl: True Story" in May 2023, shortly after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launched his presidential campaign.
- Hecklers began interrupting Notaro's stand-up shows to yell "Bobby is crazy!" due to Kennedy's divisive political platform affecting her career.
- Despite Notaro's continued efforts to send Hines "love and support," the friendship became one-sided; Notaro ultimately realized she needed to "let it go."
- Hines' marriage to Kennedy has strained other Hollywood connections; she no longer speaks to "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star Larry David, signaling broader relationship impacts.
