The moment President Trump brutally snubs handshake with RFK Jr.’s wife Cheryl Hines during UFC 314

The wife of RFK Jr. and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Cheryl Hines, was the subject of an awkward situation during UFC 314 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

President Donald Trump hugged his Secretary of Health, RFK Jr., and greeted a number of well-known people as he arrived, including Dave Portnoy of Barstool.

But Hines, standing right beside her husband, was completely ignored. She extended her hand to greet Trump, only for him to turn away, leaving her hand hanging in an uncomfortable moment caught live on ESPN.

Like a scene from the show that made her famous, the actress tried to laugh it off while looking embarrassed. The incident swiftly went viral on social media, with many people criticizing the public snub. Since 2014, Hines has been wed to RFK Jr.

Following the rebuff, Hines took the time to extend a cordial greeting to President Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, who escorted him to the crowded UFC 314 event.

Later pictures showed President Trump holding Cheryl Hines’ hand while speaking with her and RFK Jr., which may have been the reason he seemed to patch things up after the apparent snub. Following the awkwardness at UFC 314 earlier, the moment suggested a friendlier exchange.

Even after her husband endorsed Trump, Hines, who has previously publicly criticized him, was vocal about her refusal to support his 2024 presidential campaign. She explicitly stated that she only supported RFK Jr. and not the former president, according to TMZ.

Hines was spotted at Mar-a-Lago in November after the election, despite her prior position. According to a source who spoke to The Post, “Cheryl was talking to everyone, including Donald Trump,” and she was “fitting in well” with the MAGA crowd, according to Page Six.
