People lose it over 'awkward' footage of Trump ‘snubbing’ RFK Jr.'s wife Cheryl Hines as she goes in for handshake

Arguably the only thing that makes an awkward moment even worse if it's caught on camera, and this is exactly what happened to Cheryl Hines last night.

Curb Your Enthusiasm star Hines joined her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at UFC 314 in Florida yesterday (April 12), an event that Donald Trump also attended.

RFK Jr. is the current US Health Secretary, having been chosen by Trump for the role when he returned to office in January.

Trump spotted his party member at the sporting event last night and gave him a half-hearted hug and a handshake, and when his wife Hines put her hand out to greet the president, he appeared to completely ignore her in a now-viral moment.

And the apparent snub didn't go un-missed by Hines, who looked pretty put out afterwards as she shrugged and pulled a face.

The exchange was caught on camera as part of ESPN's coverage of the UFC event, and it wasn't long until people start discussing it on Twitter.

"Donald Trump snubbing Cheryl Hines is literally a real life Curb Your Enthusiasm moment," one person said.

Echoing similar sentiments, a second person wrote: "Donald Trump not giving RFK Jr’s wife Cheryl Hines a handshake at UFC 314 looks straight off an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm."

"Trump ignoring Cheryl Hines was awkward af lol," added another.

Somebody else said: "Trump just savagely snubbed Cheryl Hines at UFC 314."

But others argued that it was accidental. Sharing a photo of Hines and Trump chatting later on at the event, one viewer said: "NEVER SNUBBED by Trump. He went back to greet RFK's wife Cheryl Hines at the UFC. Trump has a lot going on in his head right now."

"Trump appeared to not see her hand for the handshake and later went back to greet her and her husband," insisted another.

Another person argued: "Can everyone just calm the f*ck down with the melodramatics about President Trump snubbing Cheryl Hines at UFC.

"The scene is ultra chaotic and he missed her on his entrance but did chat with her and RFK Jr at the event."

Someone else said: "Trump didn’t snub Cheryl Hines, RFK Jr.’s wife, at UFC. He just got caught up in the moment, and the drama queens tried to spin it into a rift between him and RFK Jr."
