Jenny McCarthy: ‘There Are More Conservatives Hiding Out in Hollywood Than You’d Know’ and ‘Secretly Supportive’ of RFK Jr.’s MAHA

Jenny McCarthy recently appeared on the “Culture Apothecary” podcast and said that Hollywood is full of secret conservatives who are staying quiet in order to avoid career backlash. The TV personality and “Masked Singer” judge also said that Hollywood has many names who are “secretly very supportive” of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement that is being led by Trump’s secretary of health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. MAHA is largely anti-vaccine and advocates for healthier lifestyle choices to combat what the movement believes is a chronic illness epidemic in the U.S.

“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 when asked about MAHA in Hollywood. “They saw what happened to me. Who in their right mind, after everything I went through, would be like, ‘I want to be that next person who gets bullied.’ There are more conservatives than you would know hiding out in Hollywood.”

McCarthy is outspokenly anti-vaccine and has weathered many career controversies due to her health beliefs, which include claiming that autism is linked to vaccines. The latter point is also being advocated for by the MAHA movement.

McCarthy is not the first Hollywood conservative to discuss the industry’s secretiveness over Republicanism. “Shazam!” actor Zachary Levi publicly backed Donald Trump over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election and spoke openly about how Hollywood outcasted him as a result. He then claimed “there are plenty” of Hollywood names “who are terrified to publicly say they would vote for Donald Trump or be conservative in any way.”

“That’s why you don’t see them,” Levi added. “That’s why they’re not very prevalent or prominent. They know there’s ramifications for this kind of shit.”
