According to McCarthy, several celebrities quietly support the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement championed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the former Secretary of Health under Trump. This initiative has gained notoriety for its anti-vaccine stance and promotes healthier lifestyle choices. The movement takes a critical view of what it perceives as a chronic illness epidemic in the United States.
Celebrity Concerns About Public Image

The Cultural Stigma in Hollywood
McCarthy is not alone in her observations. Actor Zachary Levi, known for his role in “Shazam!”, has also spoken out about the challenges of being conservative in Hollywood.
