It’s either a classic case of bad timing, or a well-placed marketing ploy.
Either way, a shocking video of a naked Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is making the rounds that people can’t stop watching.
And folks can are thanking RFK, Jr.’s wife.
RFK, Jr., appeared partially naked in the background of a video his wife and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Cheryl Hines shared on her social media to promote her eco-friendly, self-care company, Hines+Young.
Hines posted a short clip on her Instagram story to advertise a Black Friday sale on products from Hines+Young, which she co-founded with her 20-year-old daughter, Catherine Young.
Hines held up a bottle of linen spray and a tin of body cream with her head blocking most of the front of RFK, Jr. as he showered behind her.
It’s not known if the ploy was staged, or an accident. Regardless, the clip can be seen here:
“No, you can’t take a shower!” she told Kennedy while laughing in the clip.
“I’m doing a video! No, no, no, I’m doing, I’m…,” Hines continued, wagging her finger at the camera.
“You’ve gotta give me a second. I’m doing a video for Hines+Young. OK, this is … honey … 60% off,” she said as she laughed at the end of the clip.
On the video, Hines wrote “H+Y Content Interruption” and “Oh Bobby,” along with red heart and smiley face emoji.
HInes also shared an image of Hines+Young products, including a candle that had a lid emblazoned with “MAHA,” referring to Kennedy’s signature “Make America Healthy Again” movement.
Hines, who married Kennedy in 2014, occasionally joined him on the campaign trail even during his run as an Independent candidate for president, despite Hines being a self-proclaimed liberal.
In a March interview with Fox News, Hines explained how she and Kennedy approach instances when they don’t see eye to eye on political issues.
“One of the things that I’ve learned, especially about politics, is you’re not going to agree with somebody about everything, and it’s OK,” Hines said.
“We’ve learned to talk through it. Talk it out. Listen to each other. Sometimes, agree to disagree or say, ‘Oh, I’m going to think about that, and I hear what you’re saying,’ or ‘I don’t like the way you’re saying it. I wish you’d say it in a different way.’
“So, I think it’s all about communication and just, you know, keeping your mind open and your heart open.”
After suspending his campaign, Kennedy endorsed President-elect Trump. At the time, Hines shared a message of support for her husband and his campaign staff on X.
“The decision has been made to suspend my husband’s, Robert Kennedy Jr.’s, presidency and I’d like to extend a sincere, deeply heartfelt thank you to every person who has worked so tirelessly and lovingly on his campaign.
“They have accomplished feats that were said to be impossible. They have gathered over a million signatures, more than any candidate in history, and have achieved ballot access across the country despite the roadblocks and lawsuits that have been brought against them for the sole purpose of keeping Bobby off of the ballots so no one would even have the opportunity to vote for him.
“I deeply respect the decision Bobby made to run on the principle of unity. Over the last year and a half, I have met some extraordinary people from all parties — Democrats, Republicans and Independents. It’s been my experience that the vast majority of all parties are truly good people who want the best for our country and for each other. It has been an eye-opening, transformative and endearing journey.”
Several days after Hines posted her statement, Kennedy told TMZ his wife stood by his decision, though she did not agree with it.
“This is the opposite of what she would want to do,” he told the outlet. “She went along with it because she loves me, and she wanted to be supportive of me, but it was not something that she ever encouraged, I would say.”
Hines has continued to stay by Kennedy, even attending an America First Policy Institute gala held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
