An uncomfortable moment between former President Donald Trump and Cheryl Hines at UFC 314 had social media buzzing. As Trump greeted attendees at the Miami event, he shook hands with RFK Jr. and others—but seemingly ignored Hines when she reached out to him.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm actress was left with her hand extended as Trump turned away, creating an awkward scene reminiscent of her famously cringe-inducing TV show. Hines laughed it off, but the moment was captured on live TV and quickly spread online.
Interestingly, photos from later in the evening showed Trump holding Hines’ hand while speaking with her and RFK Jr., suggesting the initial snub may have been unintentional. Still, the incident fueled speculation, especially given Hines’ past criticism of Trump.
Despite her husband’s political alignment with Trump, Hines has been vocal about not supporting the former president’s 2024 bid. Yet, she was later seen at Mar-a-Lago, reportedly fitting in seamlessly with Trump’s circle—a twist that added to the intrigue.
Whether a simple oversight or a pointed moment, the encounter became one of the night’s most talked-about incidents.
