Actor Woody Harrelson has publicly endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr for the 2024 Presidential election, disappointing his fans, who took to social media to declare him ‘cancelled.’
Reaction started pouring in on social media after Cheryl Hines, RFK Jr’s wife uploaded a picture on her Instagram account where she was seen posing with Harrelson. The actor was seen wearing her husband’s 2024 campaign hat, making it clear whom he was voting for in the upcoming elections. “Great seeing you Woody,” Hines captioned the photo.
The picture soon went viral on social media and people started reacting on the same. “If you didn’t realize Woody was gone after his SNL monologue well now it’s official” one of the people on Twitter said, while another noted, “Woody Harrelson just canceled himself.” A third wrote, “We lost Woody.” A fourth wrote, “Woody is no longer invited to our #boardgames night.” A fifth said, “I’m officially banning Woody Harrelson from all Malibu social functions from this date forward.”

Back in February, Harrelson’s opening monologue during Saturday Night Live sparked a lot of debate on social media after he referenced the COVID-19 pandemic response and the government collaborating with the big pharma industry to push vaccines.
During his monologue, Harrelson talks about a film pitch that included one of the “craziest scripts” that he has ever read which was all about “biggest drug cartels” forcing people to stay inside their homes unless they agreed to consume the drugs sold by those companies.

“So the movie goes like this,” the actor explained. “The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes. And people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them over and over. I threw the script away. I mean, who was going to believe that crazy idea? Being forced to do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day.”
Due to the monologue he was largely branded as an “anti-vaxxer” on social media.
