Cheryl Hines Says ‘Don’t Worry’ About Husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s ‘Brain Worm’: It ‘Died’
Cheryl Hines set the record straight about one of the most bizarre stories regarding her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during her guest appearance on The View on Tuesday, October 14.
“Can we just clear one thing before you go? Does he or does he not have a brain worm?” host Joy Behar asked the Curb Your Enthusiasm actress, 60, referencing the May 2024 New York Times story about how doctors found a parasite in his brain in 2010.
A few weeks later, the then-presidential candidate, now 71, joked that “maybe a brain worm ate” “part of my memory” during a speech at the Libertarian National Convention.
“It ate just a little bit of his brain and died,” Hines told Behar, reflecting what the Times story had reported. “So, don’t worry.”
The politician’s wife of 11 years urged everyone to read her new memoir, Unscripted, for more details about his presidential run, during which stories about RFK Jr.’s love of roadkill also made national news. “That was just one, tiny headline in a mountain of crazy.”
