John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, continued his trolling of his relative Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday via Instagram.
But this time, his target wasn’t RFK Jr., the Health and Human Services secretary known for promoting conspiracy theories about vaccines, but Kennedy’s wife, former “Curb Your Enthusiasm” cast member Cheryl Hines.
“Hey Cheryl Hines, it’s Jack Schlossberg. I just got out of the shower,” said Schlossberg, who apparently felt compelled to send the video while shirtless and to misspell Hines’ last name in text overlaying the clip.
“We’ve never met, but I’ve got a favor to ask. I need you to call up the family of the child who died of measles and say sorry. Can you do that for me, babe?”
Schlossberg was referring to the recent outbreak of measles in Texas that has made at least 150 people sick and caused the death of an unvaccinated child.
After saying that “almost every single case of measles is in someone who’s not vaccinated,” Schlossberg said he thought Hines is “the perfect person to say sorry.”
You can see him make his plea in the video below.

Kennedy came out in support of the measles vaccine on Monday despite nearly 30 years of spreading disinformation about it.
It was a big flip from his other recent statements about the outbreak, such as his claim that there was “nothing unusual” about the Texas outbreak.
Hines’ representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Schlossberg’s video.
