Jerry O’Connell claims his wife and twin daughters became “physical” with him after he made a series of comments about Kamala Harris’ loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
‘Stand By Me’ star recalls ‘shocking’ incident Bill Maher’s “Club Random” Podcastfor the episode that dropped on Monday.
“I said something like, ‘There was no plan. This is what they got. There should have been a primary,'” O’Connell, 52, began. “I was just spitting out ideas.”
“I was shocked. My wife and daughters attacked me without saying anything. They were full of anger.”
O’Connell married actress Rebecca Romijn, 53, in 2007, and they welcomed twin daughters Dolly and Charlie, now 18, in December 2008.
The Jerry Maguire actor admitted he didn’t think Harris would lose, and went on to explain why he has to be “careful” with how he “says it.”
“I live in California,” O’Connell continued. “I live with not one, not two, but three people, and if I made any joke, they would be very angry at me.”
But Maher, 70, said he could never live like that.
“No matter what family situation I’m in, I say what I really think. If that offends you, I’m sorry,” the comedian replied. “We have to resolve that.”
He added, “But I’m not going to shut you up by shoving my tail between your legs.”
Their discussion about the 2024 presidential election began after Marr criticized Hollywood’s decision not to recognize “Landman” because it was considered a “conservative show.”
“First of all, even if it’s a conservative show, it should be allowed,” Marr said of the Paramount+ series starring Billy Bob Thornton. “This is fucking America, you asshole.”
“I mean, that’s not who you really are. So we have to ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist. You want to know why people vote for Trump? Here’s why. Your vile attitude is really disgusting.”
