US EditionJimmy Kimmel's Wife Cut Ties With Some Relatives Over Voting For Trump
Molly McNearney says her political differences with Trump-supporting relatives have led to lost family relationships and personal conflict amid the 2024 U.S. election aftermath.
- On the `We Can Do Hard Things` episode on November 8, 2025, Molly McNearney said she cut ties with some relatives because they supported Donald Trump.
- Before last year's election, McNearney pleaded with family members who support Trump, sending numerous emails but said 90 per cent ignored her or gave a truly insane response.
- Her family history shows her immediate family did not vote for Trump in 2024 after supporting him in 2016, and McNearney said some relatives are `They're deliberately being misinformed every day, and they believe it.`
- As a result, McNearney has shifted which relatives she spends time with, saying she is now tighter with closer relatives while feeling constant conflict and anger toward distanced relatives.
- Framing the split, Molly McNearney, head writer and executive producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, said the dispute is about `family values` not `Republican versus Democrat` and told the `We Can Do Hard Things` podcast her role makes the rift public.
