Trump snubs RFK Jr wife Cheryl Hines at UFC fight, but here's what happened AFTER

The apparent “snub” of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s wife by President Donald Trump at a UFC event has been explained.

A clip of Trump’s triumphant entrance to the UFC 314 event Saturday night sparked a viral clip as he appeared to ignore the outstretched hand of RFK’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines. The unfortunate moment was dubbed a “snub” of the woman and quickly made the rounds on social media.

Former RFK advisor Link Lauren moved quickly to set the record straight, posting a photo of Trump and Hines after he had reportedly circled back to greet the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress.

This is clickbait. He went back to her. ☺️ https://t.co/aYgtmbW5v7 pic.twitter.com/CxvWT1Czzk

Ann Gurrola, publicist for Hines, explained that she had no first-hand knowledge of the event, but did acknowledge reports indicating that the president did circle back to shake hands with the actress following the “oversight.”

X users weighed in:

Thanks for clearing that up. He looked right at her so it was easy to see why folks see it as a deliberate snub. Just an oversight due to distraction on Trump’s part.

Thank you for the full context here. That’s what I thought happened… Just missed her as he walked over to the announcer’s table

It was definitely not on purpose—he seemed distracted….he simply didn’t notice.

His whole life is caught on camera. The little mistakes he makes haters will rip him to pieces over- mean while they can’t even live half as well as he does.

This is the 2nd time this appearance of ignoring someone has made it into the news. That last time it was also a female but then we learned that he had chatted with her earlier.
