00:00Cheryl Hines claimed she broke out into hives after she shook hands with Donald Trump.
00:05Cheryl Hines had a certain reaction after she met Donald Trump for the first time.
00:10The actress, who is married to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., penned in her memoir unscripted about the moment she met Trump, 79,
00:18after he was earmarked for an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania back in July 2024.
00:23The 60-year-old wrote that the politician called to ask RFK Jr. to see him in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
00:30The waitress actress then flew to the city so she could meet Bobby as soon as he got out of his meeting with President Trump.
00:36In her book, she recounts being brought by Kennedy's security to meet him and Trump,
00:40who advised the 71-year-old Kennedy to get Secret Service protection.
00:44However, since Biden was still president, Trump lacked the authority to grant it.
00:48The moment I stepped out of the hotel suite, I broke out into hives.
00:53I've never broken out in hives before. Not once.
00:56But suddenly, I had hives all up and down my arms, and I could feel them making their way across my abdomen.
01:02Hines said,
01:02Biden later issued an executive order granting protection only to Kennedy, leaving her and their children unprotected, which caused her significant anxiety.
01:21Hines's allergies continued to move throughout her body even after Secret Service men wanted to sweep their home for bombs.
01:26She later noticed that now her bottom lip had swelled to the size of a baby carrot.
01:31My upper lip started to get involved, and my bottom lip was close to splitting in two, Hines scribed.
01:37I looked like a casualty from Botched, the show about plastic surgery gone wrong.
01:42Hines decided to go to a walk-in emergency facility, where the doctor asked if she'd been under much stress recently.
01:48She revealed that she was stressed out, and the physician suggested she learn to reduce her anxiety.
01:53Your body is trying to tell you something, the doctor concluded.
01:57The Miami native told the doctor,
01:58I'll work on that,
02:00and was then prescribed steroids and an EpiPen.
