In a recent podcast appearance, comedian Tig Notaro shared the reason behind her decision to end her friendship with Cheryl Hines, known for her role in “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” The two comedians previously co-hosted a podcast called “Tig & Cheryl: True Story,” where they discussed documentaries and shared many laughs. However, their friendship took a sour turn when Hines’ husband, RFK Jr., announced his presidential campaign, causing a rift in their relationship.
Notaro felt the need to distance herself from Hines due to disagreements in beliefs that became more prominent with RFK Jr.’s political aspirations. Despite Hines’ attempts to reconcile, Notaro couldn’t overlook their differing viewpoints. This ultimately led to the end of their friendship, which had begun long before Hines’ marriage to RFK Jr.
Reflecting on their time together on the podcast, Notaro expressed her sadness at missing their shared joy. She emphasized the importance of surrounding herself with people and activities that bring her happiness and fulfillment. Notaro also highlighted her skepticism towards couples who claim to have differing opinions within their relationships, noting that her biggest disagreement with her own wife is about thermostat settings.
The fallout with Hines taught Notaro valuable lessons about prioritizing personal happiness and authenticity in relationships.
