Jerry O’Connell Says Family ‘Became Physical’ Over Harris Comments as Maher Knocks Celebrity Influence

Maher used the podcast exchange to argue that star power excites loyalists more than it wins over voters.

Overview

  • On a newly released Club Random episode, Jerry O’Connell said his wife Rebecca Romijn and their twin daughters “became physical” after he criticized Kamala Harris’ 2024 campaign on election night.
  • He described backing Harris, noting donations and a July 2024 Atlanta rally with Megan Thee Stallion that he called “epic.”
  • Bill Maher countered that such rallies mostly energize committed supporters and pointed to Harris losing all seven battleground states and the national popular vote.
  • Maher broadened his critique, saying Democrats should distance themselves from Hollywood activism because many voters do not see celebrities as “normal.”
  • News outlets reporting the interview emphasized that the family incident is O’Connell’s account, and Romijn’s representatives have not publicly responded.
