Molly McNearney, the spouse of ABC's late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, has openly acknowledged severing ties with relatives who cast their votes for President Donald Trump.
McNearney, who also serves as the head writer and executive producer of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," recently shared her experiences on a podcast, revealing her strained family dynamics due to political differences.
According to Breitbart, McNearney confessed to sending numerous emails to her family members, urging them to support Joe Biden in the upcoming 2024 elections. "Ive sent many emails to my family, like right before the election, saying, Im begging you. Heres the 10 reasons not to vote for this guy. Please dont. And I either got ignored by 90% of them or got truly insane response from a few, she stated during the podcast. Her remarks highlight the deep divisions that have emerged within families over political allegiances.
McNearney expressed her distress over the situation, noting the impact on her personal relationships. "It hurts me so much because of the personal relationships I now have, where my husband is out there fighting this man, and to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family. And I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships with people in my family because of it," she explained.
Her comments underscore the emotional toll that political disagreements can have on familial bonds.
She further elaborated on the ongoing tension, stating, "Its definitely caused a strain. Ive definitely pulled in closer with the family that I feel more aligned with, and I hate that this has happened, you know, it feels silly, you know, part of me goes, Dont let politics get in the way. But to me this isnt politics. Its, its truly values and we just, were not aligned anymore.
McNearney's reflections reveal the broader cultural and ideological rifts that have become increasingly prevalent in today's society.
