Four of Kennedy Jr.s 10 siblings criticized his presidential run before he eventually dropped his campaign in August. Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same vision, values or judgment, they wrote. The rebuke marked one of many efforts by members of his family to publicly distance themselves from his controversial views. His sister, Kerry Kennedy called his comments about a genetically engineered Covid-19 virus deplorable and untruthful, his brother Joseph Kennedy II told the The Boston Globe the statements were morally and factually wrong and a play on antisemitic myths and stoke mistrust of the Chinese that in no way reflect the words and actions of our father, Robert F. Kennedy. His nephew, Joe Kennedy III, called the statements were hurtful and wrong, tweeting I unequivocally condemn what he said. His wife, actress Cheryl Hines, previously said his opinions are not a reflection of [her] own, in a tweet in 2022 after he compared vaccine mandates to Nazi Germany."

OP
I don't think abuse or a lack of money is keeping her in place, so she evidently is OK with what he says and does.

Yes, that's true. She did want people to know she didn't agree with that statement.

He cheated on her, a lot apparently, and recently with a journalist who was fired from the New Yorker I think. So I guess him being certifiable was not quite enough

I know you're not suggesting she is being abused. I'm only stating some of the reasons women stay in dangerous marriages. (abuse/fear, lack of resources)
Hines is not bothered by his actions or his words.
