Before Bobby ran for POTUS, Cheryl was known in Hollywood as a rare individual who had zero enemies. Everyone loved her.

This interview with Cheryl Hines is very good. You can tell she’s thinking before she says anything and she’s very cognizant of how any words or phrase can be taken out of context. She’s the epitome of a class act. Wish there were more people in Hollywood that were as classy as her.

They can't tolerate her presence any longer because they know that they are wrong and she's a reminder that they're lying.

Two years ago, after hearing RFKJ's News Nation town hall interview, I was absolutely blown away, and I joined his campaign as a volunteer the next day. I knew almost nothing about him, except that people said he was anti-vax. When I told my friends about joining his campaign, nearly everyone of them literally yelled at me. Not a single one of them was genuinely curious enough to ask me why I was supporting him. Not one. I'm a Republican now.

Wow, I felt for her as it was going on knowing how anti Trump Larry etc. were. This is how a ride or die marriage is. God Bless her and Bobby ❤

I had a weird experience with James Toback too on the set of The Pickup Artist. He started talking sexually inappropriate to me in the trailer where I was trapped at 2 am waiting to shoot my scene with Robert Downey Jr. I was nervous to say this, because he was the screenwriter of the movie and I was a beginner actress, but I said, "If you can say such vulgar things to me, I can tell you about Jesus. And I told him the gospel I think. He looked amused but stopped talking to me.

I am impressed by how Cheryl Hines is still surprised at the abject rudeness she encountered. That shows a unique measure of innocence. She's just fairer than most people.

BECAUSE of Bobby's FATHER, secret service is now extended to pres candidates. But not for his very own son.

Hollywood is a place where the most interesting topic on everyone's mind is themselves.
