Cheryl Hines criticizes “The View ”cohosts: ‘They just wanted to grill me’ over husband RFK Jr.

“I don’t think the ladies on ‘The View’ asked me one question about my book,” Hines told Billy Bush.

Actress Cheryl Hines has seemingly curbed her enthusiasm for The View, judging by comments she made weeks after a tense interview with the cohosts of the ABC talk show.

The Unscripted author appeared on the latest installment of Billy Bush’s Hot Mics talk show, where he inquired about her dynamic with the panel after things got heated on the air over topics related to Hines’ husband and head of the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“Were they what you expected? The women of The View?” Bush asked Hines, who responded by closing her eyes and humming a sarcastic, “Mhmm.”

Bush said he felt that the cohosts have “got to check up for their audience” and that “Joy Behar’s gotta do her thing,” to which Hines said, “I like that you say it with attitude!”

Cheryl Hines and Sunny Hostin clash on ‘The View’

Hines said that she was “actually hoping that it was going to be more personal on The View, but it was what it was” in the end — particularly after she clashed with cohost Sunny Hostin, at one point even interrupting the legal expert to ask, “May I finish?” after Hostin accused RFK Jr. of spreading “a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion” to the American public.

“They want to dive into politics,” Bush said, later asking, “Can you tell when someone hasn’t read your book?”

Hines briefly paused before answering, telling him, “Yes, I mean, I don’t think the ladies on The View asked me one question about my book. But, you know, that’s okay.”

Bush finished the segment by asking if “all press is good press,” with Hines replying, “I don’t know. Yeah, I guess?”

Despite Hines’ comments to Bush about hoping for more personal questions and inquiries about her book, a representative for Hines previously told Entertainment Weekly immediately following the star’s interview that Hines “wasn’t annoyed at all” and that “it was a great, balanced conversation.”

When reached for comment about Hines’ contrasting comments on Hot Mics, the same rep replied to EW via email.

“I stand by my original comment. Cheryl engaged with respect and class, in light of them asking her repeatedly to defend her husband, which by the way was not the purpose of her appearance, it was to discuss her new memoir Unscripted,” the representative wrote. “She was completely unbothered, as one would have to be living in a cave to think they wouldn’t make Bobby the primary focus. We still consider the appearance a success in spite of this.”

EW has reached out to a representative for The View for a response.

Also during Hines’ interview on the show, moderator Whoopi Goldberg shared pointed words about RFK Jr.

“I do want to say, you know he’s not a doctor and he’s not a professional? And oftentimes, when he’s speaking, he’s speaking not with the best information,” Goldberg said, adding that “some of the things he’s suggested take it out of the hands of my doctor and me, and my OBGYN and me, and I wonder, does it give you pause and are you able to say, ‘That might not actually be so, because I’ve got my experience and I’ve lived with this, and I’m still here.’ Are you able to have those conversations with him?”

Hines indicated that she is able to have those conversations with her spouse, but claimed that “90 percent of secretaries of the HHS have not been doctors,” though she didn’t cite how she came to know that information. “But they’ve had a science background,” Hostin observed in response, with Hines clapping back that “one of Obama’s secretaries of HHS was an economist” in office.
