Jenny McCarthy said on a recent podcast that many people working in Hollywood privately hold conservative views, even if they are reluctant to express them publicly.
Speaking on the “Culture Apothecary” podcast, McCarthy — a model, actress, author and television personality — claimed that “more conservatives are hiding out in Hollywood than you know.”
She added that many in the entertainment industry are “secretly very supportive” of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy, who is currently serving as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, has drawn national attention for his “Make America Healthy Again” messaging. MAHA emphasizes skepticism toward vaccines and other public health measures.
McCarthy, a vaccine skeptic herself, said on the Dec. 11 episode that Kennedy’s health positions resonate with people in Hollywood who feel pressure to keep their political beliefs private out of fear of professional backlash.
“I’ve been mentoring mothers online who DM me still … but also celebrities who have called me, ‘I don’t want to come out. I don’t want people to know I have a child on the spectrum. I don’t want people to know my vaccine schedule. Can you help me?’ I honor that,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy did not name specific individuals in her recent comments but suggested that support for Kennedy and his views is more widespread than publicly acknowledged.
